    Agentic Data & Analytics Bootcamp

    We built a two-day, multi-track practitioner bootcamp from nothing in six weeks — speakers, partners, full content architecture. The category was new and so was the playbook. By the end, people weren't just learning about agentic data engineering. They were building data pipelines with agents.

    Ascend Website Redesign

    We were launching a new product and our website wasn't telling the right story. I led a full overhaul — new positioning, new design system, new content architecture — shipped in six weeks. Website traffic doubled. Conversions increased 5x. Also: Otto got a glow-up.

    New Hire Onboarding Program

    Onboarding existed but it wasn't consistent — different roles, different levels of support, different experiences depending on who you happened to sit next to. I built a program that worked the same way regardless of role or time zone. 96% of new hires reported feeling more effective from day one.

    Agentic Data Engineering Certification — 101, 201 & 301

    We wanted to establish Ascend as the definitive voice in agentic data engineering. So I built a three-course certification curriculum — 101, 201, and 301 — in 48 hours using a multi-agent workflow. Research agents, writer agents, eight parallel reviewer agents. Twenty-one production-ready modules came out.

    Core Value Formation

    A core values program that worked fine on paper and didn't feel alive. Redesigned the recognition model, ran an in-person rollout with a scavenger hunt through California Avenue. The bar: do the values change anything? Ours did.

    AI SDR Outreach Motion

    Getting outbound right was iteration — tested AI SDR, Artisan, HubSpot's agent, and others before landing on AmpleMarket. Micro-campaigns of 20–50 people beat big blasts. The signal layer separated research from spam. Pipeline without added headcount.

    Offsites, Hackathons & Team Events

    For a remote-first team, connection isn't a nice-to-have — it's infrastructure. Quarterly in-person kickoffs, themed Hackdays, weekly all-hands, Demo Days. Within my first six months at Ascend, employee engagement improved 50%.

    Built In Best Places to Work

    Building an award-winning culture requires a lot of intentionality. Winning four consecutive Built In Best Places to Work awards was less about the award and more about creating a space for everyone on the team to thrive.

    Field Events & Webinar Program

    For four years, I owned Ascend's events program end to end — from large industry conferences to a webinar program I built from the ground up. Thousands of MQLs a year and a brand presence that showed up consistently wherever our customers were.

    Plans & Pricing Rollouts

    Rebuilding pricing from the ground up is one of the hardest things a company can do. I held product, sales, finance, CS, and existing customers in one coherent story from start to finish. The launch landed without a single surprise.
