The Challenge

Growth doesn't stall because of effort. It stalls because of system.

If you're between $2M and $30M in revenue, you need executive-level clarity and accountability. But you may not yet need, or be able to justify, a $300K+ full-time CMO.

That's exactly the gap I fill. I come in, diagnose where growth is leaking, build the operating system, and run it alongside your team until it stands on its own.

Symptom

Pipeline is unpredictable

Revenue depends on referrals and founder heroics. No clear ICP, no conversion benchmarks, no forecasting rigor.

Symptom

Tactics, but no operating model

Campaigns run and tools get bought, but marketing and sales don't share a funnel, attribution is murky, and no one owns the system connecting strategy to execution.

Symptom

No one owns the core story

Messaging, differentiation, and pricing sit with everyone and therefore no one. The product is strong, but the words that sell it were never actually built.

How I Work

Diagnose. Build. Operate.

Not strategy decks. Embedded execution, until the system runs without me.

1 · Diagnose

Find where growth is leaking.

ICP and messaging audit. Funnel and CRM assessment. Pipeline math. Competitive snapshot. You get a clear picture of the constraint and a prioritized 90-day roadmap.

2 · Build

Install the GTM operating system.

Shared KPIs, pipeline coverage model, channel thesis, demand engine, sales enablement, and the weekly cadence that creates real accountability across your team.

3 · Operate

Run it until it runs itself.

Weekly leadership meetings, monthly performance reviews, vendor governance, hiring plans. I stay embedded until the system is self-sustaining and your team owns it.

Client Case Study

From fragile pipeline to diversified revenue engine.

A B2B SaaS legal tech company I helped scale over three years. Single-channel dependency, no partner program, limited attribution when I arrived. Here's what a disciplined go-to-market system delivered.

Referral Revenue
+304%
Marketing Qualified Leads
+282%
Partner Channel
+253%
Closed Deals
+99%
Sales Qualified Leads
+83%
Closed-Won Revenue
+77%
All metrics HubSpot-verified · Specific figures available in a confidential conversation

Built channels, not campaigns.

6+ demand gen channels · No single channel dominant

Launched partnerships, referrals, events, paid, outbound, and organic. Revenue concentration dropped dramatically from heavy single-channel dependency to a balanced, resilient portfolio.

Measured what converts, not what moves.

Organic: 3× more efficient than paid per contact acquired

Built dual-layer attribution exposing that channels generating 3× more volume were converting at 5× lower rates. That insight changed budget allocation overnight.

Proved the partner flywheel.

Zero to #1 win-rate channel in the portfolio

The partner program became the highest win-rate channel in the portfolio. Conversion rates improved as volume doubled. That's a system, not a campaign.

Killed what didn't work.

One channel's win rate was a fraction of the others. It got cut.

Data-driven accountability means subtracting underperformers as much as adding. Growth is clarity about what to stop, not just what to start.

The Practice Now

Roman Growth Advisors is a live practice. Current work includes a Series A case-funding marketplace, a physician-founded health-data platform, and ongoing operating work in a different vertical entirely. Legal tech is where I go deepest; the system is the same one I built across 15 years in enterprise software. Names held until clients clear them.

A paid trial of working together

A bounded, low-risk way to see the work before a bigger engagement.
Early Stage · Founder-Led

GTM Blueprint

Growth is coming from founder hustle and referrals, and you know it won't scale. A clear ICP, a channel thesis, and a 90-day plan your team can execute without you in every deal.

$9,000
6 weeks · ends in a plan
Series A–B · GTM Health

GTM Diagnostic

Pipeline feels like luck and you're not sure what to fix first. A structured assessment of channels, funnel, and attribution, ending in a prioritized roadmap and a board-ready readout.

$15,000
6 weeks · ends in a plan
Built to end in a decision, not a document. Each one ends with a prioritized plan and a clear recommendation on what to do next. A low-risk way to see how I work before a longer engagement.
A Lighter Lane

Already operating? Let's think together.

You have a team executing but no senior operator to pressure-test the calls. Weekly access to judgment from someone who has built and scaled at every stage. Agenda-driven, month to month, you set the priorities.

$4K–$5K Per month · Strategic Advisory

Already know the problem? Targeted standalone work, messaging, investment audits, pricing reviews, board prep, is scoped flat or billed at $350/hr. Just ask.

Who I Work With

Built for companies in the messy middle.

Product-market fit is behind you; the repeatable system is what's missing. I have operated from Cisco's enterprise scale down to Series A, so I meet you at your stage. Legal tech is my deepest vertical; the system carries across B2B SaaS.

Post-Seed & Founder-Led

Pre-Scale · <$5M ARR

Founder still wearing the marketing hat. You need an ICP, a channel thesis, and a 90-day plan a small team can actually execute.

SaaS Scale-Ups

$5M–$25M ARR · Series A–B

The board wants efficient growth. You need the repeatable GTM system without the six-month search for a full-time exec.

Scaling B2B

$10M–$30M+ · Series B+

Sales, CS, and a revenue motion that has grown faster than the system behind it. Time to unify the machine and make growth predictable at scale.

CMO Gap or Transition

Any Stage

Your marketing leader just left or the agency strategy failed. You need a stabilizer who resets priorities and builds the bench or runs the search.

Jason Romanosky, Fractional CMO & GTM Advisor
About Jason

A CMO who operates like a CRO.

I'm Jason Romanosky, founder of Roman Growth Advisors. My career started in product marketing and never left it: who a product is for, why it matters, and how to say it so the right buyer gets it. That foundation runs through 15+ years at Cisco, product marketing leadership at Blackbaud and LumApps, and three and a half years as CMO at Case Status, where I scaled the company from $2M to $10M+ ARR. I held the title and owned the number full-time before I ever went fractional.

When I'm not building revenue engines, I'm in the water. Surfing keeps me honest. Conditions change fast, reading the water matters, and sometimes the smartest move is patience. Same applies to GTM.

I work with two to three clients at a time. Intentionally small, deeply embedded, accountable to your numbers.

Every stage. Every size.
