What I'm working on:
• I've recently launched my own consultancy, Global10x to help B2B companies expand internationally and optimize their global GTM
• I write about international growth on Substack: https://global10x.substack.com/
How I can help:
• I enjoy working with founders on early product-market fit challenges and providing guidance and mentorship as they scale up their team
