Doejo

From 2008 to 2017 I helped build Doejo into one of Chicago's go-to startup and innovation studios. As Managing Partner I ran day-to-day operations for a ~45-person team across product, design, and engineering, built the brand and go-to-market, and scaled us into enterprise work — including a spot in WordPress VIP's inaugural agency cohort, which unlocked large-scale publisher transformations. Nearly $10M in revenue across the portfolio, through the whole post-crisis era.
