Bridging Strategy & Execution

I'm a B2B Growth Leader with a B.E. in Computer Science, combining a tech background with 5+ years of expertise scaling outbound teams, running AI-powered outreach, and driving measurable client acquisition.

At Success.ai, I lead AI-powered outreach campaigns, coaching teams to convert intent data into qualified pipeline. Previously at UpGro Digital, I drove SEO and paid media performance for international clients, and began my career in HR recruitment — giving me a full-circle view of how businesses hire, grow, and scale.

I thrive at the intersection of data, creativity, and human connection — whether it's crafting a cold email sequence that converts or coaching a team to hit record demos.

$3.95M Pipeline for a 30-Year-Old Fleet Business

How an AI-powered outbound system turned a relationship-built business into a scalable growth engine.

The Client

USM ReRents — the go-to backup fleet for rental yards across North America for over 30 years, serving United Rentals, Herc, Sunbelt, EquipmentShare, and 1,000+ rental partners.

The Challenge

Decades of growth from word of mouth and trade shows had a ceiling — thousands of rental companies across the US and Canada had never heard of USM, and the existing sales team had no bandwidth to run outbound at scale.

The Solution

A fully managed cold email service — one accountable team owning strategy, infrastructure, copy, sending, and reply management end-to-end. The USM sales team never touched a single email.

We have spent thirty years building this business one relationship at a time. When we brought in a partner to help us reach new rental yards at scale, we needed a team that took the work as seriously as we do. They became an extension of our sales team, not just a vendor we wrote a check to.

If your business has grown on relationships, referrals, and reputation, you don't need another tool or vendor — you need one accountable team running one connected system, so sales can stay focused on what closes deals.

87 Qualified Opportunities From Independent Optometrists

How a fragmented, three-freelancer cold email setup was replaced with one accountable system — for an Inc. 5000 healthtech SaaS company.

The Client

Dr. Contact Lens — an Inc. 5000 SaaS platform founded by two practicing optometrists, letting independent eye care practices sell and reorder contact lenses directly. The platform supports more than $200M in lens sales today.

What Was Broken

The founder had three disconnected freelancers — a list builder, a copywriter, and a campaign manager. Nobody owned deliverability or fit. Real spend went out monthly with very little coming back, and no single person to ask why.

The Plan

One accountable team — infrastructure specialist, GTM strategist, campaign manager, inbox manager — built a full game plan before sending a single email: the angle (winning back patients from corporate retailers), the ICP (practice size, EHR system, intent signals), domain warm-up, and a week-by-week timeline.

Before Success.ai, I had three different people working on cold email and nobody could tell me why it wasn't working. With this team, I finally had one place to look. The pipeline we built together is something I couldn't have created on my own.
