Founder / CEO @ Gymdesk
Gymdesk is a modern management software for gyms and other fitness and wellness businesses. I launched Gymdesk in 2016, and went full time on it in 2019.
I grew Gymdesk to $3M In ARR and 16 fulltime employees by 2024, and then partnered with a Five Elms, a private equity firm, who took a majority control of the company.
I now invest and mentor early-stage B2B SaaS founders.
