Scottsdale, AZ · RevOps × AI · VanDercook Ventures
I build bridges between intent and outcome.
I'm Charles. By day I'm Head of Growth at Qwick, running revenue operations for a $108M+ marketplace across 41 markets. By night I'm building VanDercook Ventures, where a RevOps instinct turns into real software that ships.
One marketplace I help run, and the ventures I've shipped on my own. Different temperatures, same way of working: brand, code, AI, and go-to-market, taken from zero to live.
Current role Since Oct 2024
Qwick
Head of Growth at a $108M+ staffing marketplace.
I run the revenue operations behind a marketplace spanning 41 U.S. markets: the forecasting, the pipeline, the attribution. I built Avery, an AI orchestrating agent with seven sub-agents that automates account management, and helped align revenue systems through the Qwick and Gigpro merger. Promoted from Strategist to Head of Growth in 21 months.
Arizona Advanced Automation, an AI automation agency for local service businesses.
A³ gives home-service companies an always-on AI front desk. It answers every call and message, books jobs straight onto the calendar, follows up on quotes, and turns missed calls into booked revenue, so owners stop losing work to voicemail.
