He works as an embedded revenue operator for founder-led, family-owned, and private-equity-backed B2B businesses, particularly firms navigating stalled growth, misaligned marketing, sales, and customer-success functions, or founder dependency. Jason diagnoses how revenue is produced through Pipeline, People, Performance, and Planning, then rebuilds the systems, leadership alignment, forecasting, and operating cadence needed to make growth measurable and repeatable. He can build a revenue organization from zero or scale an existing team, and has led sales, growth, and customer-experience functions. Across three CRO seats, Jason has owned the full customer engine: winning, retaining, and growing customers. His record includes 130% to 205% of revenue target, 33% to 67% margin growth, 41% to 75% higher conversion, 44% to 57% efficiency gains, and forecast accuracy improved to 95% where he rebuilt the cadence. He has co-founded two companies, both of which exited, and has also led private-equity value-creation work, startup sales and marketing, sales leadership, and multi-business operations. ## Services - Value Creation - Due Diligence - Private Equity - Fractional CRO - Rapid Revenue Growth - Commercial Operation - Revenue Generation - Leadership Development - Executive Assessment - Revenue Operations - RevOps - Business-to-Business \(B2B\) - KPI Dashboards - Sales Effectiveness - Managerial Finance - Management - Business Strategy - Sales Management - Sales Organization Leadership - Strategy - Strategic Leadership - Sales & Marketing Leadership - Go-to-Market Strategy - Revenue & Profit Growth - Startup Environments - Artificial Intelligence \(AI\) - Executive Management - P&L Management - Sales Operations - Sales Process ## Highlights - Held three Chief Revenue Officer seats with ownership of the complete customer engine: winning, retaining, and growing customers. - Reported performance of 130% to 205% of revenue target across his experience, including 205% of target in FinTech SaaS. - Delivered 33% to 67% margin growth in founder-led and private-equity-influenced contexts. - Delivered 41% to 75% higher conversion for $5 million to $12 million B2B businesses. - Delivered a 44% to 57% efficiency lift through cross-functional alignment. - Improved forecast accuracy to 95% by rebuilding the operating cadence. - Co-founded two companies, both of which exited. - Serves as Fractional CRO at Revved for Growth, embedding within B2B businesses to align marketing, sales, and customer success. - Leads revenue-growth engagements as CRO and Executive Advisor at Mahdlo Executive Advisors, including Mahdlo’s 100-day revenue accelerator. - Served as Commercial Lead for Vaya Group’s Private Equity Practice, supporting Value Creation Plan execution with PE firms and portfolio companies. - Led overall revenue growth and the full customer journey as CRO of Nirvana Systems, including technology-stack refinement, forecasting, and pipeline analysis. - Built and led sales and marketing as a player-coach CRO at a confidential AI and machine-learning talent-management SaaS startup serving the human-capital-management market. - Progressed from Account Executive to Vice President of Sales at Talogy, previously PSI Caliper, with revenue-growth accountability for Canada and global reach. - Led multi-business revenue-growth, process-improvement, cost-reduction, and cross-functional operating initiatives as Vice President of Operations at Oni Studios. - Served as National Business Development Director, USA, at SalesStar. - Built revenue-succession plans designed to reduce founder dependency. - Uses a proprietary four-P revenue-engine diagnostic: People, Process, Planning, and Performance. - Has experience both building revenue organizations from zero and scaling established teams. - Has led all three revenue departments: sales, growth, and customer experience. ## Experience - **Chief Revenue Officer + Executive Advisor at Mahdlo Executive Advisors** (2023-10-01–present) — I lead revenue growth engagements through Mahdlo's community of fractional C-Suite operators, bringing senior marketing, sales, and customer success leadership to mid-market businesses across industries. The work centers on revenue trajectory shifts diagnosing where growth is stalled and assembling the right cross-functional firepower from Mahdlo's bench to fix it. We focus on the structural alignment between marketing, sales, and customer success — the engine that produces revenue together, not three separate hires. Clients have included SaaS, AI, FinTech, HRTech, professional services, and Private Equity portfolio companies. Signature engagement: Mahdlo's 100-day revenue accelerator — a quick-trajectory diagnostic and execution sprint that aligns the leadership team and ships measurable revenue lift within one quarter. - **Fractional CRO at Revved for Growth** (2023-10-01–present) — Not advisory. Not an agency. Operator inside the revenue engine. Founder-led or family-owned B2B firms in the $5M–$15M range don't stall because the team isn't trying. They stall because nobody owns how the revenue engine actually produces revenue. Marketing, sales, and customer success run in parallel lanes that never quite hand off. The business runs the founder, not the other way around. I step inside the business as an embedded operator not an advisor with decks. I find where the engine is breaking, take ownership of how growth gets produced, and rebuild the structural alignment between marketing, sales, and customer success so revenue becomes predictable, measurable, and repeatable. Three ways we work together: → Fix — for stalled $5M–$15M firms where marketing, sales, and customer success are misaligned and growth has flattened. → Rebuild — for firms whose revenue engine has outgrown the design that got them here. → Build — for earlier-stage firms that need the engine i - **Chief Revenue Officer \(CRO\) at Vaya Group** (2024-12-01–2026-05-01) — Commercial Lead, Private Equity Practice at Vaya Group. I worked alongside PE firms and their portfolio companies on Value Creation Plan execution leadership alignment, executive assessment, integration, and ongoing development for senior teams. Years of working at this level gave me a unique lens on how revenue engines either accelerate growth-stage companies or pin them in place. That perspective is the foundation of what I do: fractional CRO work for founder-led professional services firms stalled in scale, focused on connecting marketing, sales, and account growth into a system that produces revenue together. - **National Business Development Director, USA at SalesStar** (2024-07-01–2025-09-01) - **Vice President Operations at Oni Studios** (2022-09-01–2023-10-01) — Overall accountability to maximize revenue growth across a group of businesses.
