Hi, I’m Miguel.

Consulting, and open to the right senior role

I’ve spent about eleven years on lifecycle and GTM — mostly in fintech, with some SaaS and ecommerce along the way. These days I’m consulting on lifecycle, conversion and automation, and I’m open to the right senior role if one comes along.

Most of what I do happens before anything gets built. Someone hands me a number that’s heading the wrong way, and my first job is figuring out what’s really behind it — which, more often than not, isn’t the thing everyone’s been staring at.

Lately a lot of that has turned into automation: rebuilding the lifecycle system so it keeps running, and keeps getting better, without anyone having to babysit it.

Here’s what I mean

The ask

“Activation is stuck around 24%. The emails aren’t working.”

Work

A few things I’ve built.

The ask is what I was handed. What I found is usually somewhere else, so I’ve put both next to each other.

From calendar time to what people actually did.

Rebuilding lifecycle

Activation is stuck around 24%. The email isn’t working — fix it.

24% → 38%activation; 7-day drop-off 78% → 62%

How I work

Read, decide, pick the metric, build, check.

Same five steps most of the time. Here’s what each one looked like on one project.

Mogo, first three weeks

I pulled on the email data, the onboarding flow and the web journey at the same time. Engagement was healthy, which was the confusing part. What kept turning up was that email was describing one thing and the product was doing another.

Numbers

Some numbers, and what was behind them.

Before24%

After38%

First 2 months, Mogo lifecycle rebuild

24% → 38%

It moved once the emails stopped describing something the product wasn’t doing, and the triggers fired on what people actually did instead of how many days had passed. The 7-day drop-off came down from 78% to 62% over the same stretch — same rebuild, same cause.

Get in touch.

If you’ve got something you’re trying to figure out, or a role you think might fit, I’d like to hear about it.

If you’re in town, coffee’s on me. I’d rather hear it out loud anyway.
