About Jonathan

Startup pro with multi-functional growth expertise across Marketing, Sales, and Business Development. Expertise connecting startups with customers and partners to grow their business. Former engineer & entrepreneur, and enemy of the status quo. Enjoy being hands-on and getting stuff done.

First business hire at multiple high-growth companies where I’ve opened new offices and built out Marketing and Sales teams from scratch. Most recently, at AppZen, a fast-growing Artificial Intelligence SaaS solution for enterprise spending compliance, I ran all growth activities including Marketing, Partnerships, and Sales Operations. Highlights include growing the company from 5 to 50+ employees, expanding our customer base of enterprise clients from single to triple-digits, personally sourcing AppZen's two largest deals, and securing key distribution partnerships with global leaders.

I'm actively involved in the tech startup world, as a mentor at Capital Factory and the 500 Global Accelerator and advisor to several startups and Venture Capital funds. Previously, led the marketing for over 20 technology product launches, covering all aspects from strategy and planning to the creation and execution of integrated marketing campaigns.
