Why this resume works

Leads with revenue scale, capital raised, and exits — the three signals retained search uses to rank C-suite resumes.

$18M → $112M ARR — quantified scale-up.
$80M Series C + 2 acquisitions — capital + M&A track record.
Built executive team across CFO/CRO/CPO — succession credibility.
