In one sentence: I have worked as a growth hacker (focused mainly on new venture development) since 2009.

Here’s “my story” for those who want to know it…

When I was in college the 2008 recession hit. My parents followed the advice of a business consultant and friend. This “friend” used their faith in him to funnel ALL of their assets (from money & office equipment to the family heirlooms & their house) into his own coffers. At this time, I was studying to complete my Bachelor’s Degree in Medicinal & Biological Chemistry.

In response to the recession, many of my friends began creating side hustles to pay their way through college degrees that were no longer affordable for their own parents to shoulder. I did not realize how much valuable knowledge I had accumulated growing up with two small business owners for parents, until I saved my new boss (of the startup I worked at nights & weekends) from intellectual property theft. After this, I quickly promoted from “intern” to sitting at her right hand through every meeting, event and negotiation; friends from the university dorms began to ask for help with growing their own startups. What started as an after-school internship, turned out to be the launch pad for my life-long career in marketing.

Shortly after I graduated from University, my startup experience led me to be hired to run an Apple SIS in northern Italy. It was there that I successfully doubled sales within one year without increasing the marketing budget by so much as $1. This lead the head of Europe to replicate my strategy throughout all of our other European locations, which resulted in IE Business School accepting my application to pursue my MBA at their gorgeous campus in Madrid, Spain.

While at IE Business School, I secured one of four coveted positions as a Venture Network Fellow and that whirlwind experience turned my natural knack for marketing into a super power you can read about below…

A brief history

2009 - 2011

I managed business operations and two teams through the rapid growth phase for a guerrilla marketing company which worked with: Porsche, Whole Foods, Target & Disney.

During this time I worked closely with the CEO to grow fashion show promotional productions by 146%.

2012 - 2013

From mid 2012-2013 I worked as the Apple Sales Rep at an Apple SIS in Vicenza, Italy. During this time, I implemented a social media strategy in conjunction with an incentive plan for the sales force. This lead sales to double within 12 months. Due to this success, my social media strategy was replicated across all Apple SIS-locations across Western Europe.

2014

In 2014 I used my connections & reputation as an EU based model, to help an e-commerce store sell 40% of the inventory opening day.

2015 - Part 1

In 2015 I was awarded the Venture Network Fellowship and completed my International MBA at IE Business School.

2015 - Part 2

In 2015 I didn’t sleep…just kidding, #bnr because this year I also used everything I learned at IE, to help my Mom’s newest Real Estate Group to close more than $13,000,000 in sales.

2016

In 2016 I helped a brand new startup to increase sales by 4300% in less than 9 weeks & a Silicon Valley based “hacker house” to reach maximum capacity in less than 3 months.

2017

In 2017 the CEO of a company I had completed marketing strategy work for, asked me to co-found a startup called The Million Dollar Pineapple.

2018

In 2018 my co-founder was poached to work for an epic tech company in Silicon Valley & I grew my team to cover every time zone.

This is the year I also helped the Coastal Living Real Estate Group close more than $39,000,000 in annual sales.

2019

In 2019 my team grew to 50+ freelancers & contractors. With this team I grew a 5-year-old startup to more than $100,000,000 in gross sales & launched a podcast that is now playing in 36 countries.

2020

In September 2020 I published 5 of my playbooks to a Molo9.com. More than 300 people subscribed to the new platform within 6 weeks.

2021

I learned a few computer programming languages and launched Molo9’s™ software. The platform’s revenue grew by 7,137% in just 15 months.

2022

Here are a few nice things people have said about working with me

A few hours with Adi helped me refine our overall strategy for all our marketing assets. We reviewed the website, our product, and different social media platforms. She provided a series of resources and strategies that are priceless. We are already seeing results from the suggestions we have implemented and have a list of things to do still, which is exciting. I think meeting with Adi should be done on a regular basis because the details from her decade of seeing results, that makes all the difference.

Olivia Ramos

CEO, Deepblocks

Adi guided our startup project from the very inception to the moment when we successfully passed the pilot phase and set for further growth. Adi is an amazing growth-hacker familiar with bootstrapped and self-funded projects: under her guidance we maxed out our productivity and achieved targets in a matter of months. We wouldn’t be the same if we didn’t have her support. Totally recommend as a business growth guru.

Maria Sirotkina

Founder, ReStation

Adi has been one of my go-to growth hackers & advisors since we first met in Mountain View, CA in 2016. Here she helped me to quickly grow a real estate investment venture using her growth hacking framework. When we were starting our latest venture, I reached out to get her take on a few things before making decisions on how and where to pivot. In a 30 minute call Adi helped us to identify which of the opportunities would be most profitable and require the lowest initial capital investment. From here she helped us to (1) refine our value proposition & pitch, (2) identify the decision makers within our qualified & available market, and (3) define the operational process we could use & advertise so that we could (4) charge exponentially more for our services.

Katy Levinson

Co-Founder at Stealth Mode Startup

Adi is a reliable, passionate and innovative growth hacker. In her time with GaltGrid, she not only developed the marketing plan and helped with investor relations, she also helped develop the team and the company. Through her insight and experience, Adi helped every person on the team grow and be as productive as possible. Despite the eventual failure of the company, Adi worked hard and helped in every way she could; even when morale was at its lowest. GaltGrid would not have gotten as far without her ability to grow companies, people and plans – as well as her ability to execute. Adi is a valuable asset to any company looking to learn and build.

Jeff Boman

Co-Founder, GaltGrid

Adi’s internet & social media marketing skills are truly amazing! I suspect that she has secretly come into possession of Aladdin’s Lamp.

Jerry Levey

President at Nourmandy Franchise Consulting Specialists

Adi is consistently using new growth hacks before 99% of the population knows they exist. She leverages new developments, tools and strategies, six to eighteen months before they appear in the ‘top 5 things to know’ Medium articles written by ‘cutting-edge’ digital marketing gurus.

Asher Breverman

Product Director, MySpine

We entered a highly competitive market with a projected chance of failure at 90%. Working with Adi, we launched to #1 in our town our first year and expanded to be #10 in the county by 2018.
