Chief of Staff September 2022 to present — Remote (HQ Brooklyn, NY)

Joined a one-person newsletter business to run the ship and grow revenue. Less than a year in, revenue is up some 300%. I’ve created new revenue streams and taken charge of multiple projects that are low-priority for the actual writer of the newsletter, helping him write more to gain more subscribers.

• Created an ad program that brought in 2.5x my annual salary in high-margin revenue in its first 3 months
• Planned our first in-person event in early 2023, profit from ticket and sponsorship revenue exceeded Newcomer’s entire previous-year revenue
• Managing multiple lower staff members, writing for the newsletter, producing a podcast, running my own payroll and more </aside>
