I'm a GTM operator. I've spent 15 years building revenue systems at B2B SaaS companies, from venture-backed startups to publicly traded enterprises. Now I do it fractionally, for companies that repositioned and watched pipeline stall: I find where the old play still runs, and make the new one stick.

Background

Each stop taught one piece of the system.

  1. Enterprise scale

    Microsoft, agency side

    Won preferred vendor status for Office 365 at R2integrated and planned the overnight BPOS-to-Office 365 customer transition: strategy, comms, analytics.

  2. The digital engine

    ConnectWise

    Ran digital marketing as an executive at an MSP and IT management software platform.

  3. The complex sale

    Blackbaud

    Enterprise SaaS marketing in the nonprofit vertical: buying committees and long sales cycles.

  4. Scale to IPO

    Avalara

    Marketing leadership that set the stage for IPO. Multi-product, multi-segment GTM.

  5. Category creation

    Drift

    Scaled demand generation while building the conversational marketing category. Pipeline architecture at growth stage.

  6. One system

    SandsDX

    The pieces, run together, for B2B SaaS companies mid-repositioning. The first build moved Oleria from top-of-funnel inbound to signal-based outbound; it runs today without me.

Conviction

Point of view

The buying decision has moved inside AI. Shortlists form before sales ever hears a name, and the story your systems tell is the one buyers meet. Most motions were built for the funnel that came before.

Repositioning makes that gap acute. The announcement ships in a day; the revenue system lags for quarters. The old play keeps running in the message, the targeting, the motion, and the measurement, selling the company you used to be with budget you can't get back. Closing that lag is the work.

Every diagnosis I deliver is cited to source: call transcripts, closed-won data, ad spend, attribution paths, the answers AI gives your buyers. If I can't show you the evidence, I don't make the claim.

GTM is a system, not a department, and AI doesn't replace that system. It makes each piece faster and cheaper to operate. A three-person team with the right infrastructure can outperform a ten-person team running manual playbooks. I've seen it, I architect it, and your team runs it after I'm gone.

The staff

A solo operator with a full staff

SandsDX runs on the same kind of system I build for clients. Seven agents operate this business, each with a defined lane, written operating rules, and a clear point where they escalate to me. Nothing goes out the door without my approval. When you hire me, this staff comes with me.

Watson

Chief of Staff

Triages, plans, delegates to the specialists, and runs the morning brief off the CRM. The front door for everything.

Basil

Scheduling

Books meetings over email, working the thread like an executive assistant.

Boone

Market analyst

Watches where the AI GTM market is heading, mines the research, and turns the signal into what to write and why now.

Beckett

Writing

Drafts perspectives in my voice, from real work. No invented metrics.

Crusoe

Prospect research

Account teardowns: how a target’s buyers encounter it across search, AI answers, and social.

Holmes

Analysis

CRM exports, funnel data, and keyword pulls. The quantitative core of the Sprint.

Franklin

Deals

Owns the CRM, tracks follow-ups, and keeps the pipeline honest.

Bringing Page and SandsDX in was one of the best GTM investments I made as a marketing leader. We transitioned from top-of-funnel inbound to signal-based outbound, all built on AI, and Page was the architect of that shift. The thing nobody tells you about SandsDX is how much your team learns along the way. If you're a B2B marketing leader trying to stretch a lean team, SandsDX is where you start.

Roots

From web developer to GTM operator

I started as a web developer, the first one the Naval Academy had for USNA.com. I stayed technical through grad school abroad, then joined R2integrated, a 25-person digital agency in Baltimore.

That agency won Microsoft preferred vendor status for Office 365. The night Microsoft's BPOS customers went to bed and woke up on Office 365, my team had planned the transition: strategy, comms, analytics. That engagement grew into work across Office 365, Cloud & Enterprise, Power BI, SQL Server, Enterprise Mobility, and Microsoft Learning, and a decade servicing Microsoft from the west coast.

A small Baltimore agency serving the enterprise taught me the lesson I still run on: businesses are systems and all parts of the system are connected.

When the loop works, it builds value over time. When one piece is missing, the whole thing stalls. I carried that lesson through GTM leadership roles at high-growth startups and mid-market software companies, and it is the foundation of how SandsDX works today. The four systems I audit, the message, the targeting, the motion, and the measurement, are where that loop lives inside a revenue organization.
