All About… Me

Even Costanza wants to know how to accelerate B2B revenue growth.
I’m flattered and honored that you clicked into this page to learn more about who I am.
I’m Erik. I’m a relentless career entrepreneur and go-to-market operator currently in the skunkworks building AI-native revenue systems.
While most GTM teams are wasting their time with yesterday’s news like custom GPTs and AI copilots, I’m designing and shipping production agentic architectures, like multi-agent workflows, LLM-powered signal detection, automated pipeline orchestration, the things that fundamentally change how B2B companies generate and protect revenue.
My career story starts early on, but I’ll spare you tales of being a paperboy or telemarketing long hours trying to sell carpet cleaning services. I launched and successfully exited my first startup, a multimedia search engine (Dustcloud Media) during the original ‘dot-com boom.’
Currently, I’m Head of Revenue at Wynter, the fast alternative to traditional B2B market research where you can get insights from your target buyers (ICPs) in under 48 hours. I lead marketing, sales and revenue operations for a bootstrapped B2B SaaS company that is punching way above its weight.
But the work I’m most obsessed with is building and optimizing the AI infrastructure layer beneath our go-to-market; the autonomous work that 3x enables every team member. Stuff like autonomous agent systems orchestrated through n8n, powered by tools like OpenAI Codex, Claude Code and a ton of APIs, grounded in state management, and gated through human approval flows.
Stuff I’ve shipped recently:#
→ Dozens of single-task agents using frameworks like nanobot, and automations in n8n running >10,000 executions per month
→ A 6-workflow-family AI GTM system with graduated approval models and first-party data as the strategic moat
→ A 12-agent marketing swarm architecture with autonomous reasoning workers, shared state, and all external writes gated through human-in-the-loop approval
→ Event-driven AI customer success systems with rules-based signal detection, LLM triage, and automated intervention workflows
→ Customized AI agent infrastructure: custom memory systems with tiered storage and LSM-style compaction, SOUL.md personality frameworks, SKILL.md capability modules, and episodic/semantic context separation
→ and Stackwell, my lone “playground” agent that’s out living its own life at iamstackwell.com
My approach: before any process defaults to manual, I ask “how would an autonomous agent own this?” That question has reshaped how I think about every GTM function… prospecting, content, competitive intelligence, customer health, and pipeline management.
Tech stack: Codex, Claude Code, n8n, sqlite/postgres, HubSpot, MCP, Agent Skills, Swift/SwiftUI, nodejs and a LOT more.
The longer story#
I didn’t arrive at AI agents through a computer science degree or a machine learning bootcamp. I got here by spending 20+ years trying to make B2B revenue engines go faster and eventually running out of patience with the manual way of doing things.
My prior two roles were at Refine Labs — first as Senior Director of Demand Generation managing the agency’s largest book of accounts by ad spend, then as the senior Enterprise Account Executive, where I closed $9M+ in annualized revenue including the largest new-business deal in company history. Before that, I led the digital marketing team at ThoughtExchange, replacing millions in pipeline lost to COVID event cancellations by pivoting the entire field marketing motion to virtual in a matter of weeks.
I’ve also served as CMO at Blockmason, spent a year as a paid media and digital strategy consultant to SAP, and in 2012 founded Gravytrain, a content marketing and digital advertising agency that I scaled from just me to 35 staff and a seven-figure run rate before closing up shop in 2017.
Across all of it: I build systems that generate revenue. The tools have changed – from Google Ads and email sequences to autonomous agent swarms and LLM orchestration – but the obsession is the same.
Even further back#
As I mentioned up top, I launched and exited my first startup, Dustcloud, a multimedia search engine acquired by eUniverse (Intermix Media), at the time the 10th largest network of websites. I wasn’t even old enough to rent a car when I flew down to sign the paperwork.
Before and during my entrepreneurial ventures, I spent five years with Entrepreneurs’ Organization where I helped quadruple nominations for the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards and launched the first ten EO Accelerator markets across North America.
From 2009 to 2014, I went back to school as a “mature student” and completed a Pharmaceutical Sciences degree at the University of British Columbia while running businesses on the side. During that time I was named the 2013 British Columbia Student Entrepreneur of the Year by Enactus Canada.
The non-work stuff#
I’ve served multi-year terms on the Selkirk Montessori School student parent group, the boards of Kitsilano Neighbourhood House and the Association of Neighbourhood Houses of BC. I currently live in Victoria with my wife and children, where I enjoy long walks along the ocean and our local lakes.
If you want to talk about AI-native GTM, agentic architectures, or just swap notes on what’s working, I’m easy to find on LinkedIn and GitHub.
