Work Background
AstronomicChief Revenue Officer (CRO)
Feb. 2026Boston, Massachusetts, United StatesAs Chief Revenue Officer at Astronomic, I lead our growth strategy across sales and strategic partnerships, with a focus on expanding the reach and impact of our ecosystem. My strategic vision is to build durable, high-leverage relationships with clients and partners who will benefit from the expansion of our network. This involves aligning incentives, creating shared upside, and turning introductions into long term value. I’m responsible for: - Driving new client acquisition and revenue growth by shaping win-win deals.
- Structuring and scaling innovative strategic partnerships.
- Expanding market presence within our target segments.
- Identifying signal to strengthen ties with blue chip founders, operators, and investors.
- Ensuring revenue growth optimizes community value, rather than diluting it. My goal isn’t just topline expansion, it’s compounding impact: connecting key players across the technology industry value chain in unique ways that create measurable opportunity for everyone involved.
