Athan’s Startup Founders Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Experience level: Executive
500+ people coached for Startup Founders
I have 20 years experience in strategy consulting and loyalty/rewards marketing, and have created several successful businesses. I've consulted to numerous startups and NFT projects at various stages from concept/pre-seed through Series D. I have a strong breadth of industry expertise having completed projects and built businesses in web 3/NFTs, travel, financial services, real estate, retail, grocery, gas. I've created reward and membership programs around the world and managed Membership Rewards partnerships at American Express as well as the Black, Platinum, and Gold Cards and developed a portfolio-wide strategy. I have my MBA from Yale University and my BA from Cornell University. I pride myself on multitasking ability (I used to have a day "corporate" job with four of my own successful businesses on the side), reliability, and loyalty/transparency. I believe in developing a tight plan up front for every project and really focus on iterative development. I'm particularly good at taking complex problems and turning them into data-driven clarity. I'm also a game theory expert so I always very much focus on the competition and making sure the businesses I advise on are positioned appropriately.
