About

I'm forever curious.

I've been in the C-suite at every company I've worked at since 2012. My main function isn't marketing, finance, or operations — it's building. I diagnose what's broken, build what's missing, and drive growth.

I co-founded a construction tech startup that went through Jason Calacanis's Founder University. I built a wholesale distribution company from a blank sheet at Laudisi Enterprises — operations, vendor relationships, logistics, dealer network, P&L — and exited my partnership stake in 2025 from a company doing $75 million a year.

Through Greyphin, I served as a fractional CMO and COO to CEOs and founders across 104+ companies in construction, SaaS, e-commerce, financial services, and manufacturing. The role depended on the company's needs. I embedded inside each business, built the operating systems, revenue engines, and team structures, and stayed until they worked.

AI Systems Architect

Strategic Operator

I think about business like a strategic board game — positioning, task orientation, and knowing when to move and when to hold.

Experience

Where I've built.

Every role I've held has been about building something — a company, a division, a system — and leaving it stronger than I found it.

I don't talk about AI. I build with it.

I architect and deploy production AI systems that run autonomously across multiple businesses. These aren't demos or proofs of concept — they handle real conversations, real operations, and are accountable for real outcomes.

Operations & Drafting Tools

AI-powered tools for the construction industry — including a drafting agent for shop drawing generation and a glazing takeoff tool that automates quantity extraction and bid preparation.

Impact

Adaptive Surf Project

Surfing changed my life. The freedom of being in the water, the stress relief, the community that builds around it. My daughter is disabled, and three of my closest friends have spinal cord injuries. I wanted them to feel what surfing gave me. So in 2013, I funded it myself. We designed and manufactured adaptive surfboards, traveled the world teaching people with disabilities how to surf safely, and left the boards behind with every community so the work would continue without us.

That effort took us to the Olympic and Paralympic board, where we advocated for adaptive surfing's inclusion in the Games — conversations that were gaining real traction before COVID paused them.

The organization is still going strong today. I built it to outlast me, and it did. I passed it on because that was always the point — build something durable, then let it grow beyond you.

"I didn't build it because someone funded me. I built it because the people I love deserved to feel what the water gives me."
— Brandon Bellegarde

Let's build something.

I'm exploring my next chapter. If you're building something that matters and need someone who's done it before, I'd like to hear about it.
