The Modern SDR | B2B Growth Engineer | Based in Charlotte, NC
Hi, I’m Angelo - a B2B growth engineer with 5+ years building outbound systems that convert cold prospects into qualified pipeline
I design cold email systems that help YC-backed & early-funded SaaS founders test markets, generate investor-grade pipeline, and build a repeatable customer acquisition motion.
Proof-first by design - these outbound systems surface signal early, pressure-test offers fast, and create the consistent pipeline velocity founders and investors expect.

🎯 Outbound Campaign Recovery + Optimization
For teams already running outbound but seeing pipeline or conversion drag. I audit, rebuild, and relaunch systems to restore deliverability, sharpen messaging, and accelerate qualified pipeline velocity above investor-grade benchmarks.

1. We’ve tried outbound before and it didn’t work. How is this different?
Most outbound fails because it’s rushed, templated, or scaled too early. I build from proof - starting with a clear offer, clean infrastructure, and messaging designed to open conversations, not just trigger opens.
How do I start working with you?
How do you ensure this won't damage our domain or deliverability?
Will this work for our niche product or market?
We’re not even sure we have the right offer yet. Can you help with that?
How does this compare to hiring an SDR or agency?
Do we need to manage the system after it’s built?
How fast will we see results?
