Growth · Go-to-market · AI adoption

Hi, I’m Cait. I build the engine behind growth.

I’ve scaled SaaS companies from $20M to $500M+ ARR and seen them through multiple exits. I know which part of the engine breaks at each stage: the message that stops landing, the pipeline that stops filling, the team that outgrows its process.

Lately, it’s AI: the tools get bought, the team gets trained, and the work stays the same. I’ve trained 1,000+ people, including teams at Fortune 500 companies, to change that, so the tools get used, the workflows change, and the time saved shows up in pipeline. I’ve built teams where AI saves 75+ hours a week.

I love working with teams in the messy middle of growth, where the old way stopped working and the new way isn’t built yet.
