Let's focus on that first part.
Well, in summary:
Problem solver for marketing, sales, and customer service operations at mid-stage startups. Self-starting, big-picture thinker with an eye for every detail. Pivots quickly. Fails and learns fast. Confident decision-maker and pragmatic cheerleader. Taurus sun, Gemini moon, Libra rising, with all of the strong opinions that implies. Also, is quite funny.

I took a break between HubSpot and Dragos to run my own pet care business and train dogs. It was great for a few years but I prefer the more predictable outcomes of SaaS. (And scooping 100% less poop.)
I do miss these pups, though.
My ideal workplace...
...is a growing SaaS start-up about to blast into the next level; B round through D is the place for me. I love big ideas and ideals. Driving business outcomes with software fulfills me like nurturing yet another nearly-dead discount plant back to life. (That's not a growth metaphor, I was big on indoor foliage way before it was cool.)
I crave work environments where I can use my entrepreneurial aptitude and software acumen to drive big results and maximize the return on technology investments while not taking myself too seriously. It's not easy being cheesy.
Am I your unicorn?
