In short
I work remotely with Boston teams as a fractional growth lead: owning SEO & GEO, paid media, CRO, attribution and AI automation — and building Shopify stores when the store is the bottleneck. Engagements start with a one-week audit ($1,500).

Boston's economy runs on research: biotech, medical devices, robotics, education and the software companies that spin out of its universities and hospitals. Buyers here are experts, and marketing language rarely impresses them. Growth depends on credible, evidence-backed content, long-cycle B2B nurture and measurement that holds up when a scientist or a CFO asks how the numbers were calculated.
Boston buyers research deeply before they talk to anyone: scientists, clinicians and engineers read papers, technical documentation and case studies, and increasingly ask AI assistants to summarize the options. Content that cites evidence and explains methodology earns trust with people and AI tools alike. Local searches span Boston, Cambridge and the Route 128 corridor, where many life sciences and tech companies are based.
Massachusetts requires a written security program for residents' personal data, and healthcare clients must keep patient information away from ad platforms. Tracking on health-related pages is minimized or run server-side with data stripping, and business associate agreements are checked before any tool touches protected data.

FAQ
Yes, on the commercial side: positioning, websites, demand generation and measurement. I build medical, legal and regulatory review into every workflow, and your team keeps final approval over claims and scientific content.
I audit what your site sends to ad and analytics platforms, remove or restrict tracking on sensitive pages and set up server-side tagging with data controls. Whether a specific setup meets HIPAA is confirmed by your privacy officer or counsel.
With leading indicators tied to pipeline: engaged accounts, meetings booked, opportunity creation and stage progression. Those show direction months before a deal closes, and closed revenue confirms it later.
Yes. When the category is new, I start with education: clear explanations of the problem, real applications and comparisons with the methods buyers use today. Nurture programs then move technical evaluators and budget holders forward at their own pace, and reporting tracks account engagement long before pipeline appears.
