An unusual résumé
for a marketing CEO

Most agency founders come out of design or media. Ray came off a trading desk — and it changed every question his companies ask first.

Ray started on Wall Street at eighteen and became one of the youngest securities agents to pass the Series 7 and Series 63. By twenty-four he was Vice President of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services, an NYSE-listed firm, and he closed out his banking career as Senior Vice President inside a Fortune 500 global investment bank.

That background shows up in how his companies operate. The opening questions on any engagement are about unit economics — customer acquisition cost, contribution margin, payback period — not mood boards. Traffic is a means. Revenue is the scoreboard.

In 2016 he crossed the desk and became an operator. Since then he has managed and grown start-ups, one of which became an industry leader and was acquired in January 2022. Building from nothing, carrying it through the unglamorous middle, and closing an exit is the experience clients are actually buying.

Today he is Chief Executive Officer of Corunit Media Corp, a Uniondale, New York growth firm operating since 2017, with strongholds in the two industries where the rules are hardest: finance and healthcare. He also serves as Managing Director of Compassionate Care Advisors, a boutique consultancy for medical practices.

Deal file — Cannabis health · Category leader ◆ Closed · January 2022

A sales division,
from zero

As Chief Operating Officer from 2017 to 2022, Ray owned day-to-day operations in one of the most tightly regulated corners of American healthcare — where advertising rules bite, platforms ban you without warning, and demand is real but hard to reach.

He built the sales division from nothing. It went on to capture more than 75% of MarijuanaDoctors.com's client base, the dominant demand source in the category. Revenue grew more than 600% in five years.

In January 2022 he orchestrated the sale of the business — the full arc, from a standing start to a signed deal.

04 / Operating Thesis

How he actually
runs things

Five positions he holds regardless of client, sector or budget.

Position 00 — the house rule
“Marketing is a game of
chess, not checkers.”

Most agencies answer the last move. Ray plays three ahead — with the data and the bench to back every play. The knight above is running a real tour: every square it lands on, it lands on once.

Position 01

Unit economics before creative

Margin, customer acquisition cost and payback period get asked first. A campaign that cannot survive that arithmetic does not get built, however good it looks.

Position 02

One connected system, not six tactics

Website, SEO, paid media, CRM, reviews and automation run as a single engine. Leads get lost in the gaps between channels, so he removes the gaps.

Position 03

Seniors on the account

The person who sold the work is the person doing it. No junior handoff after the pitch.

Position 04

Regulated by choice

Finance and healthcare are the strongholds — HIPAA-aware, compliance-conscious, client sign-off before anything ships.

Position 05

Partner, not vendor

Understand the business before the keywords. Strategy has to survive contact with reality.

Corunit's stated values: integrity, openness, teamwork, dedication, enthusiasm.
