Head of Growth at Default
I am an ex-professional Olympic athlete who sold a dozen vintage Louis Vuitton bags every month to support my journey towards a shot at the Olympics. When no one wanted to hire me, I launched my first outbound prospecting agency, but deep down, I wanted to build software. After sending many cold emails, Jason Calacanis gave me a $100k check to build the next generation of sales productivity software. Ultimately, I failed, even though we were able to grow to $5k MRR in just four months. I learned so much about how to build a great product, make sure people want it, and how to grow (fast). I decided to look for a marketing role, but deep in my heart, I wanted to move to the US. After years of trying, I can finally call myself a proud immigrant. I am now growing Default.com with the personal goal of becoming a world-class CMO.

Here is my content workflow: 1. Discovery - Bookmarks (save great content for later) - Work (most insights come from doing the work) - Claude (brainstorm content ideas) 2. Development - Notion (store ideas and organize calendar) - Claude (improve written content) 3. Production - Figma (design graphics) - Vizard.ai (AI video editing) In the last 28 days, this workflow helped me get: - 300k views on LinkedIn - 500+ ICPs engaged - 15 demos booked - $150k pipeline generated → new insight for 2025 Video usually performs 50% to 100% better in terms of reach and engagement. (based on a few videos that averaged over 10,000 impressions) But video was never part of my strategy because of how long it takes to create. Until I found Vizard.ai Now, I just drop a long-form clip, Spark 1.0 analyzes both the visuals and audio beyond just speech—and edits video content with just one prompt. My video creation time went from hours to just 10 minutes. Safe to say that I'll be posting more videos!
