Digital Acquisition Leader · Denver, CO

Tyler
Weed

Building the system, not just doing the work.

I lead digital acquisition programs at T-Mobile where vendors, data, and operations collide — because that's where most programs quietly lose value. In 4.5 years I've held three titles and done about eight jobs. I lead with transparency and air-cover, and I keep the work grounded with humor.

Leader Profile

About

"Market Expert. Brand Manager. Team Lead. On any given day, I wear several hats. My objective is always the same — build the brand, reach the audience, and maximize impact to drive strong, sustainable results."

From my first job at age 12 to launching a successful eCommerce business while in college to overseeing multi-million dollar digital revenue channels at T-Mobile, my career has been anything but traditional. Every time a new gap opened up, I went and filled it — the title caught up later.

I work at the intersection of vendors, data, and operations — because that's where most programs quietly lose value. I lead with transparency, give my team real air-cover, and keep high-stakes environments places people actually want to work.

A few years ago someone told me I needed to speak up more — that knowing my craft wasn't worth much if I kept it to myself. I took the note. I've been proving I know my work and saying so when it matters ever since.

How I create value

01
Vendor Partnerships as Revenue Engines
I turn vendor relationships into measurable revenue contributors, not line-item expenses — spanning contract strategy, technical integration, attribution, and ongoing optimization.
02
Funnel Friction Removal
I find the parts of the customer journey where data shows we're losing people, and get the right teams in a room to fix them. 17K orders here, 50% form-completion lift there — it compounds.
03
Operating Model Design & Tooling
I build systems that let teams produce more, faster, with less rework. When I see a known problem nobody has picked up, I tend to be the one who picks it up — and increasingly, I ship the fix myself.
04
Multi-Stakeholder Launches at Executive Altitude
I'm useful when a launch needs someone to hold the whole picture — vendors, internal teams, creative, legal, measurement, and a hard deadline — without losing the strategic thread.

Proof Points

Impact & Portfolio

The headline work from 2025 that best illustrates the four signature plays — with earlier T-Mobile career wins to close.

Vendor Partnership
Invoca — Advanced Call Routing & Revenue Expansion
Signals: I treat vendors as part of the operating model, not as procurement transactions — and the revenue follows because the discipline comes first.

Led the Invoca partnership end-to-end across Digital, Media, and Virtual Retail — aligning routing logic, attribution, operational readiness, and financial modeling into a single pilot. In December, mitigated $300K in overage risk during a high-pressure holiday escalation without disrupting media optimization signals.

Funnel Optimization
Digital Channel Growth — Voice & Prospect Acquisition
Signals: I run a team that delivers on the metric that matters most, while quietly absorbing scope expansion that would have broken a less-disciplined operating model.

When I took over voice/prospect acquisition in Q4 2024, Digital Activation SOE for Postpaid Voice was at 5.1%. Through 2025, my team roughly doubled that — peaking around 10.5% in Q4 — through BYOD optimization, Credit & Pre-Screen optimization, and a cleaned-up New BAN prospect flow. We absorbed a 154% YoY increase in offer volume without degrading speed or quality.

Operating Model
Digital Merchandise Planogram & Content Control Tower
Signals: I'd rather build the tool than request the tool — and increasingly, I can.

The merchandising team coordinated dozens of concurrent campaigns through fragmented spreadsheets and manual reconciliation — a known problem nobody had picked up. I built the Digital Merchandise Planogram: a 4,500-line React-based Airtable extension shipped using Claude Code, deployed org-wide via Builder Hub. It includes a week-by-week placement grid with conflict detection, a live board, a 4-step intake wizard, and a campaign simulator. The Digital Content Control Tower is the companion piece — a filterable view of everything live across the broader DBM surface area.

Executive Launch
SuttersMill / Un-carrier Move — Q4 2025
Signals: I'm useful when a launch needs someone to hold the whole picture without losing the strategic thread.

Led DBM's role end-to-end on T-Mobile's Q4 2025 Un-carrier Move — a multi-week, multi-product release including Easy Switch (Beta), Save My Upgrade, and "15 Minutes to Better" messaging across web and T-Life. Daily VP steering. 40+ web page updates. Late-breaking creative changes through legal review. The launch landed on time across all surfaces with no escalations. The SuttersMill playbook became a reference asset that subsequent launches now build from.

Career Signature
HSI Digital Share-of-Enterprise Growth
Signals: The pattern of moving the metric that matters most — through structural funnel work, not cosmetic optimization — predates 2025 by years.

Over four quarters as DBM Team Lead for Home Internet, led the work that moved HSI Digital SOE from 10.4% in Q3 2023 to 20% in Q3 2024 — nearly doubling the metric. Work spanned launching three new products in two months, app push notifications driving +150 incremental activations per week, cross-site merchandising (the single largest source of digital orders), and 25+ A/B tests from Q1 through Q3.

Leadership Style

Transparency
I tell my team what I know, when I know it — including the things that aren't comfortable. The information advantage of being a manager is the easiest one to give up, and giving it up builds trust faster than anything else.
Air-Cover
When something goes wrong in front of leaders or partners, I take the hit — that's what I'm there for. My team takes real swings because they know the failure mode is shared, not isolated.
Delegation that Develops
When I bring on new team members, it isn't about getting things off my plate — it's about putting the right people in front of the right problems and letting them grow into the space.
Builder Mentality
I learned to use Claude Code well enough to ship a 4,500-line Airtable extension my team uses daily. The line between "marketer" and "builder" is collapsing — I want to be on the right side of that shift.
Growth Mindset
I run a structured 360 process for my team every year-end, gathering specific feedback from cross-functional partners. I sponsor people I don't manage. When I see exceptional work, I make sure leadership hears about it.

Leadership Practice

Sharpening

Every senior candidate's website tells you what they're great at. Here's where I'm getting better.

01
Scaling influence beyond my immediate team
Execution strength is no longer my growth constraint; strategic visibility and upstream influence are. The work shows up in the numbers — but the numbers don't always show up in the rooms where the next round of investment gets decided. I'm working on closing that gap deliberately, not by accident.
Active focus · 2026
02
Leading with narrative before tactical detail in executive forums
My instinct is to start with the data and let the story emerge. In senior forums, the order needs to flip — narrative first, evidence second. I'm getting better at it, and I notice the difference when I do. The leaders I learn the most from operate in this mode by default.
