I turn perfectly normal people into curious data detectives | Building business
Are you looking for a career in digital analytics? Are you finding it tough to get work or get things done? Is there more data setup than insight going on?
That's perfectly normal.
I got hooked on analytics in 2002 when I moved to Finland.
I managed to increase lead generation by 800% putting over 1000 leads in the database of the first Finnish company I worked for.
They sold widgets you attached to elevators.
I figured if I can help them doing digital analytics and testing I can help anyone.
I'd seen the evidence and had an itch to scratch. Could this be a business idea?
So over the past 2 decades working with data;
→ I've founded and sold 2 analytics agencies
→ Helped the acquiring companies successfully grow their business worth multiple millions per year.
→ Made my clients 10s of millions in verified earnings or savings personally.
→ Led teams of Analysts who made or saved our clients half a billion in verified earnings.
→ Hired over 100 people many of whom have gone onto leadership positions in large companies or on the agency side.
→ Written 3 books on the subject of digital marketing and analytics.
So now I want to scale what I know, so you can do it yourself. I want to help you get a job, help you build your career.
See the evidence for yourself, ask yourself why things happen?
My mission is to get 300 of you into your dream roles in digital analytics by the end of 2026.

Led marketing and product management teams at five different SaaS, cloud, and tech companies including several Private Equity and Venture Capital backed providers that experienced:
• High Growth - 2X-3X YOY Sales Increases
• Billion Dollar Valuations - at IPO, exit, or during B/C rounds
• New Categories - in SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS sectors
• Market Leadership - in Gartner Magic Quadrants and Forrester Waves
As a CMO/VP of Marketing I love helping small and midsized companies Punch above their Weight in areas like:
• Brand Awareness – Building a "Challenger Brand" that is viewed by B2B buyers as a product innovator, market disruptor, and thought leader.
• Demand Generation – "Engineering Revenue" with a lead gen factory that consistently and predictably fills the sales funnel with qualified leads.
• Sales Enablement – That acts as a "Force Multiplier" for sales boosting productivity of new hires and increasing win rates for experienced reps.
Most of my experience has been marketing complex business solutions like ERP, supply chain, and payments. Along the way I've been fortunate to have been given lots of thought leadership opportunities:
• International Presenter - In 10 different countries around the world including press conferences in Beijing and product launches in Seoul.
• Media Spokesperson - Quoted on dozens of technology and business topics in media ranging from the Financial Times to the South China Morning Post.
• Published Author - Numerous blogs and a book on how e-commerce technology has impacted financial markets, health care, and global trade.
