Hi, I'm JD Deitch.
I help businesses grow up and scale up.
For over 20 years, I’ve helped consumer data and insights businesses break down operational, GTM, and organizational barriers to scale.
I’ve led nearly every corporate function—from sales and marketing to operations, product, and HR—in businesses of all sizes and ownership structures, from small founder-led startups to mid-sized PE scaleups to large public companies.
My Advisory Work
Growth Stage Businesses
I partner with founders and leadership teams to build next-level growth engines. Together we put people, processes, and systems in place to scale their go-to-market and operations. With clear goals and crisp execution, we lay the groundwork for profitable, sustainable growth.
Investment Firms (PE/VC)
From pre-deal diligence through to post-deal execution and integration, I leverage my deep operating and M&A experience to identify and mitigate risks. I guide management teams of portfolio companies as they pursue their business plans to achieve growth and unlock shareholder value.
Traditional MRAs
With 20+ years of proven operating experience, I help market research agencies transform their operating models to stay competitive and scale. I work with leadership teams to redesign their organizations, rebuild processes, upgrade technology, and adopt more efficient ways of working.
What People Say
Everything we’ve done with JD is enabling us to maintain our strong growth trajectory while significantly and sustainably improving our margins.
