Fractional CMO & Strategic Advisor | Empowering Growth in Health Tech, Climate Tech, and Social Impact | Former CEO, President and ECD As a marketing leader with over 30 years of experience, I bring a unique left brain, right brain approach to strategy and creativity, helping organizations define their brands, design their GTM approach and achieve measurable growth. Whether advising health tech innovators, guiding climate/environmental tech startups, or mentoring global social impact leaders, I deliver clarity, focus, and results—delivered with a touch of humor and humanity. Currently, I provide Fractional CMO and strategic advisory services, partnering with companies to navigate challenges and seize opportunities. From brand development to digital campaigns, I work to distill complexity into clear, actionable strategies that drive success. My leadership journey spans roles as CEO, President, Creative Director and agency builder, but at the heart of it all, I’m a connector, a problem-solver, and someone who believes serious work doesn’t have to take itself too seriously. Let’s connect if you’re ready to turn ideas into action—or just need a fresh perspective. Some of my past successes include: Led omnichannel efforts for some of the biggest DTC brands and advertisers including Allegra, Aricept, Copaxone, Chantix, Lunesta, Lipitor, Nasonex, Paxil CR, Premarin Cream, Reclast, Requip, and Viagra. Was the IPG and McCann Global Brand Champion/account lead for J&J Vision Care’s Acuvue. Drove workstreams on behalf of the UN, Government funders, and other multinationals (Gates Foundation, Clinton Health Initiative, WHO) to develop life-saving communications strategies to fight HIV/AIDs, childhood mortality, pneumonia, and Polio and to promote positive breastfeeding, vaccination, and sanitation practices. Led the reintegration of Ogilvy Commonhealth back into Ogilvy as a full-service business offering, Ogilvy Health.
