GTM ENGINEERING

Go-to-market systems your team actually runs on

I build the systems behind your revenue team: the market worth going after, target lists with a reason to call, and the AI that does the busywork.

I ran B2B marketing and revenue teams for 25 years before I started building, so I build for how your team works on a Monday morning.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Where revenue teams get stuck

Most teams outgrow the way they operate before anyone notices. It shows up in a few familiar ways.

  • Nobody can say how big the real market is, or which accounts are worth the effort
  • Sellers start each week deciding who to call
  • Everyone has an AI login, and not much has changed
  • Reps don’t trust the CRM, so they keep their own spreadsheets

WHAT A SIGNAL-BASED SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE

Reach out the day something changes

One example of what I build: a system that watches for buying signals, adds the context, and routes each account to the right next step.

WHAT I BUILD

Three systems most revenue teams are missing

A market worth going after

Most teams have never sized their real addressable market. I build market studies and TAM models that show how big it is and which accounts are worth the effort, from public data like job postings, government registries, filings, permits and grants. Then every account gets a reason to call now, and some lists run as weekly monitors built in Python and SQL, so sellers get fresh accounts without anyone rebuilding the list.

  • Market studies
  • TAM models
  • Target account lists
  • Weekly signal monitors

AI in the daily work

I put AI to work inside the jobs your team already does: account research, call analysis from tools like Gong, meeting prep, content. I build most of it with Claude and Claude Code, and work with ChatGPT if that’s what your team uses. For teams that want to run it themselves, I build a complete AI operating system and hand it over.

  • AI agents
  • Research and call analysis
  • AI operating systems

Revenue data you can trust

Everything above depends on data your team believes. When reps stop believing the CRM, they stop using it. I connect your CRM, whether that’s Salesforce or HubSpot, to the rest of your stack, use tools like Clay to catch dead contacts and fill in the buying committee, and write clean data back where your team works.

  • Stack integration
  • Contact validation
  • Enrichment
  • Lead routing

WHY A FORMER REVENUE LEADER

I’ve been the person who got the call when growth stalled

So every build starts with the question a VP of sales or marketing would ask: will my team use this, and will it change what they do this week?

FAQS: GTM ENGINEERING

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a GTM engineer?
A GTM engineer builds the systems a revenue team runs on: sizing the market and building target lists, automating the manual work with AI, and connecting the CRM to the rest of the stack so the data stays clean.
Do I need a full-time GTM engineer?
Many B2B teams of 20 to 500 people don’t, at least at first. I can build the first systems and help you decide when a full-time hire makes sense.
Which CRM do you work in?
Whichever one you run. Most of my work is in Salesforce and HubSpot, and I connect your CRM to the tools around it, like Clay for enrichment and Gong for call data.
Which AI tools do you use?
Whatever fits your team and what you already pay for. I build most systems with Claude and Claude Code, and I work with ChatGPT and other tools your team already uses. The work starts from the job to be done, then the tool.
Who owns what you build?
You do. Everything is documented and handed to your team.
