Bio

I am a community builder + event producer

I have always been drawn to drawing crowds.


I’ve built and nurtured communities into robust and welcoming sharing spaces, conjured events that brought passionate members together, created conferences that inspired thought leadership.


Few things are as powerful as our pursuit of a journey shared.

Cultivating

Community

I grew Triple Whale’s exclusive community more than 8x YoY, with members representing companies making more than $8B a year annually, through a mix of digital community curation & IRL events

They said it

‘‘Triple Whale hosted The Whalies last week, a sold-out two day event for DTC brand builders.

That was the expected outcome. Now for the ‘reverberating effects.’

DTC Twitter has been hijacked by Whalies talk for the last 2 weeks—even before the event’

-Darien P

‘I find the information on this slack to be 1 in a million. It feels like a mastermind group’

-Jorge V

‘Bravo, Triple Whale 👏👏

They’ve truly transcended from ‘just another Shopify app’ to becoming apart of our culture and community’ -Oliver B

‘Even more Whalies-related meetings this week. It’s crazy what community can do 🙏💙’ -Selina E

‘Prepping for my keynote next week thanks to Triple Whale. 🙏

They really figured out how to be the #1 Attribution platform all while throwing events like a Taylor Swift concert’ -Ron S

‘’Hey Kevin, I’m at a Meta Performance Marketing Roadshow. The talks at The Whalies were probably 10x the value compared to the ones dellivered today’ -Shashin P
