For MSPs

Marketing and AI that scales the MSP you built.

Referrals and service-delivery excellence built a real book of business. The next layer of growth is a demand engine you can read, forecast, and aim at the contracts worth the most to you. I bring the marketing and AI motion that points it straight at MRR and higher attach, run by someone who already knows the model you operate on.

No ramp-up on your stack

I already know the platforms MSPs run on, so the work starts with the work, not with me learning your tools.

Hands-on across the platforms and security stack MSPs run on, including ConnectWise, SentinelOne, Huntress, Fortinet, KnowBe4, Microsoft, Apple, Dell, HP, VMware, Cisco OpenDNS, Duo, Apptega, Phin, ID Agent, AutoElevate, Evo Security, CyberHawk, and Exium.

What changes with leadership in place

What changes once the engine is running.

A repeatable marketing and AI motion changes what your growth depends on. These four shifts come first.

  1. A repeatable engine you can read

    New clients arriving on purpose, alongside the referrals that built you.

  2. Budget that follows what works

    The campaigns that land are clear, and the spend follows the results.

  3. A motion pointed at MRR and attach

    Sales and marketing aimed straight at recurring revenue and higher-value contracts.

  4. An AI point of view clients stay for

    A clear answer when they ask what AI means for them, so it is a reason they stay.

What I believe

Referrals and hard work build a strong MSP.Scaling it runs on senior marketing and AI leadership, owning growth the way you already own service delivery.

Inside the MSP channel

I teach in this channel, and I have grown the number.

200+

MSP leaders trained on AI at IT Nation Connect, 2024 and 2025

I have taught MSP leaders how to put AI to work, in the rooms where this channel gathers. I know the MRR model and the service-delivery pressure firsthand, from years working inside this channel.

I was also part of the team at Novatech that grew IT services revenue from $8 million to $25 million, and then secured an exit. The managed-services growth story is one I have lived, not just advised on.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you only work with MSPs?
MSPs are a focus, not a fence. I work across SMB and mid-market B2B, and the channel gets extra fluency because I have spent years in it and know how your business actually runs: the MRR model, the service-delivery pressure, the vendor relationships. That context means less time spent explaining your business, and more spent fixing the growth problem.
We already have a marketing person or agency. Where do you fit?
Most MSPs I work with do, and I work alongside them, never over them. I bring the senior marketing and AI leadership, set the direction, make the calls on tooling, and give your marketing person or agency a sharper plan and a partner in running it. When it helps, I run point on the agency too.
Is our MSP big enough for this?
Yes. The Strategic Roadmap is a low-commitment way to start, and the retainer is sized to what your MSP actually needs. The work is the same caliber whether you are a smaller owner-led MSP or a larger one.
