Background

Why Kyle

I turn a firm's existing strengths — relationships, reputation, and expertise — into a unified growth engine that scales.

The Pattern

Law firms don't grow through campaigns. They grow through trust.

Especially midsize, multi-office firms like UB Greensfelder, where senior attention and reputation are the product.

I have spent more than 15 years operating inside organizations where growth depends on relationships, credibility, and execution — not just marketing activity.

Across startups, enterprise partnerships, and professional services, the pattern has been consistent: identify what already drives revenue, build systems around it, and make it repeatable.

WHAT I BRING

Results, not just strategy.

Partnership-driven execution.

I operate as a partner to leadership, not a service provider. I listen first, earn trust, and then build systems that partners actually use.

Revenue focus.

I focus on the economics that move firms — referrals, cross-sell, retention, and reputation — and turn them into measurable growth.

Fast execution.

I move fast, but I build for durability. Working systems, not decks.

WHAT I WOULD OWN AS CMO

These aren't features. They are the growth engine of the firm.
