Growth marketing leadership for B2B SaaS, edtech, and mission-driven teams.

$15M+ pipeline. 700+ founder leads. Systems that outlast the sprint.

A decade building acquisition systems and community programs across edtech, SaaS, and workforce development — now deploying AI-powered infrastructure to do it faster.

About

Meet Joel.

I grew up in the Bronx. Dominican American. First in my family to figure it out without a manual.

That shaped how I work. I don't wait for permission to build something. I learn the system, map where it breaks, and build the piece that's missing. I've done that in edtech, workforce development, SaaS, and now in AI — where I'm building a multi-agent operating system that runs my entire job search, content engine, and community programs on top of the Claude Agent SDK.

I'm based in Orlando with my two kids. I'm the founder of Men of Excellence, a pre-launch mastermind for ambitious men of color who are building careers and businesses without a blueprint. And I'm actively pursuing my next marketing leadership role — specifically in edtech, SaaS, and workforce development, where mission and metrics live in the same building.

Everything I build is designed to outlast the sprint.

Services

How I build revenue systems.

Marketing leadership is a portfolio skill. These are the four practice areas I’ve built and shipped across SaaS, edtech, and workforce development teams.

01 ⁄ 04

AI-Powered GTM

Python pipelines, multi-agent automation, prompt engineering. Production AI systems that actually ship pipeline — not slide decks about LLMs.

  • Python data pipelines
  • Claude / OpenAI APIs
  • Multi-agent systems
  • Prompt engineering

02 ⁄ 04

Marketing Ops & RevOps

Make.com, n8n, Zapier, HubSpot, Salesforce. CRM architecture, attribution, and pipeline hygiene that turn chaos into compounding advantage.

  • Make.com (advanced)
  • CRM architecture
  • Attribution + reporting
  • Pipeline hygiene at scale

03 ⁄ 04

Growth & Demand Gen

$15M+ in pipeline built from scratch. Cold email infrastructure, multi-persona sender ops, outbound — systems that move revenue, not campaigns that end.

  • Cold email infrastructure
  • Multi-persona sender ops
  • ICP definition + refinement
  • Multi-channel cadence design

04 ⁄ 04

Community & Lifecycle

Partner-adjacent motions, lifecycle nurture, community programs, and retention systems. Because retention is acquisition’s better twin.

  • Lifecycle email
  • Partner marketing
  • Community programs
  • Retention systems

Client Stories

Three systems. Three proofs.

Marketing leaders love to talk about strategy. I prefer receipts — here are three systems I built end-to-end and the numbers they moved.

Case 01

Elite Entrepreneurs · Jul 2023 – Apr 2025

The $15M Pipeline Machine

Architected a Zapier/Make.com routing layer for a podcast-to-consultation funnel. 700+ qualified founder leads. $15M+ in attributed pipeline.

End-to-end ownership

The problem

A high-value podcast-to-consultation funnel had no systematic outreach layer. Qualified founders were listening but not converting. No segmentation, no multi-touch sequencing, no attribution visibility — and no separate eng team to build it.

What I did

  • Built a Zapier/Make.com routing layer across CRM and outbound tooling — auto-resegmenting cadences from reply, show-up, and close-rate signals.
  • Designed segmented messaging frameworks for 7-figure founders, then ran continuous experimentation against funnel-velocity metrics on a weekly cadence.
  • Owned the system end-to-end: ICP definition, list strategy, sequencing, routing, reply handling, and reporting. Made outbound performance legible to leadership.

Result

700+ qualified founder leads. $15M+ in attributed pipeline. A system that ran — not a campaign that ended.

Case 02

Revature · May 2022 – Dec 2022

100% More Qualified Pipeline, Zero Extra Headcount

Built and operated targeted outbound systems for B2B SaaS enterprise. Doubled qualified lead flow. No new hires.

The problem

Enterprise outbound was flat. Messaging was generic, cadences inconsistent, and there was no visibility into what was converting at what stage. No reliable signal for AEs to act on.

What I did

  • Built and operated targeted outbound systems that generated 5+ enterprise meetings per week with named accounts including TransUnion, Blue Cross, and MGM Resorts.
  • Increased qualified lead flow to AEs by 100% through iterative positioning, copy experimentation, and cadence optimization. Let reply data drive every change.
  • Stood up CRM and pipeline-hygiene workflows that exposed which segments and which messages converted — outbound stopped being noise and started behaving like a controllable input.

Result

100% increase in qualified lead flow. 5+ enterprise meetings/wk into the AE team. The same team, a better system.

Case 03

CUNY ASAP · Aug 2016 – Oct 2019

10,000 Students, 200 Partners, One System

Designed multi-channel outreach systems with measurable inputs and outputs. 10,000+ students reached. 200+ active partnerships.

The problem

CUNY's Accelerated Studies in Associate Programs needed to grow enrollment and institutional reach without a large marketing budget. Drop-off was high at the inquiry stage; partnership development was ad hoc; nobody could trace which channels produced enrolled students.

What I did

  • Designed and ran multi-channel outreach systems that reached 10,000+ students and produced 200+ active partnerships with youth-serving organizations.
  • Operated a $20K quarterly social ad budget across paid channels — exposed 100,000+ prospects and reallocated spend toward what produced qualified inbound.
  • Owned content and alumni communication infrastructure for a 10,000+ network — kept the prospect funnel warm and the alumni base engaged from one rhythm.
  • Stood up tracking for outreach, partnerships, and conversion so program leadership could see which channels and partners actually produced enrolled students.

Result

10,000+ students reached across multi-channel campaigns. 200+ active partnerships. Conversion visibility the program hadn't had before.

Let’s talk.

I'm actively exploring GTM Engineer, Revenue Automation Engineer, and RevOps Engineer roles at B2B SaaS companies — remote or Orlando-hybrid. If you're hiring for the revenue intelligence layer across BDR, marketing, sales, and CS, let's talk.

Also open to aligned fractional or contract engagements for teams that want working code, not slide decks.
