About Ken

Driving High-Stakes Growth, Transformation & Value Creation

With a track record of scaling companies from inception to IPO and from $5M to $500M+ in revenue, I help businesses unlock clarity, speed, and execution at moments that matter.

  • Scaled Web.com from startup to $200M+ ARR & IPO (Founder & CEO)
  • EVP @ New Relic: $50M+ ARR growth, FedRAMP approval, SaaS model realignment
  • COO @ Blameless: Cut burn by 50%, scaled pipeline 3.5x, positioned for acquisition
  • CPO @ Coursedog: $4M → $10M in 9 months, platform acquired for $80M+
  • SVP @ Unqork: Grew ARR to $100M; served JPMorgan, State Street, HHS
  • CEO @ Product Genius: Built AI platform with 4000%+ ROI for SMBs and multi-location brands

 

Across these roles, I’ve delivered 18 successful exits, advised on 35+ M&A events, and led large-scale transformations across product, GTM, operations, and leadership.

I bring a player-coach mindset, combining strategic vision with operational execution to lead teams through scale, reinvention, and transformation. From full-scale restructures to GTM pivots and platform overhauls, I build the clarity, pace, and accountability required for lasting impact.

As a board advisor and executive operator, I work with high-growth companies backed by private equity, venture capital, and mission-driven founders.
