STEVEN MALE
Head of Growth at Verified
(BEGIN.)

I've spent the last decade diving deep into the world of growth marketing. I've built and sold a marketing agency,  most recently worked as a Marketing Director in the climate tech space, built AI tools, and helped companies like Stripe & Coinbase with digital accessibility!

In total I've helped four companies get acquired and I'm ready to bring my expertise to new horizons.
