• Founder

  • Nov 2021 - Present

  Here's the thing, I'm not your average CEO.I'm Sam. I'm the founder of Autom8Growth, a software company that helps businesses optimize processes and exponentially grow. I feel like I've been the founder of Autom8Growth since the day I was born. Seriously, my mom had me wearing a tie and a suit to work when I was just 2 years old. I'm the type of person that wears my heart on my sleeve...the one I earned at boy scout camp. I've been in the business world for a long time, and I've learned one thing: relationships and results are key. If you want to make things happen, you need to form strong relationships with the right people. That's what I specialize in: building long-lasting relationships that produce ever-lasting results.I started my career in sales. From retail to commercial, hard goods to software. I eventually realized that I wanted to take my skillset and help business owners truly prosper in a meaningful way. That's why I founded Autom8Growth- to help companies optimize their business processes and achieve rapid growth, all-the-while maintaining their work-life balance,I'm passionate about my work, and I firmly believe that there is no substitute for hard work and determination. When you combine those qualities with a little bit of luck, anything is possible.
