Overview
I'm a specific flavor of marketing leader: a revenue operator who happens to be very good at marketing. Most marketers think in campaigns. I think in revenue levers. What's the right pricing signal? Where is the funnel leaking? Are sales and marketing actually aligned, or just coordinating? That broader commercial lens is what I bring to every engagement, and it's what separates building a marketing function from building a revenue engine. If you're a founder, you've probably been here: marketing is happening, effort is real, but growth still feels fragile. The tactics aren't compounding.

I'm a specific flavor of marketing leader: a revenue operator who happens to be very good at marketing. Most marketers think in campaigns. I think in revenue levers. What's the right pricing signal? Where is the funnel leaking? Are sales and marketing actually aligned, or just coordinating? That broader commercial lens is what I bring to every engagement, and it's what separates building a marketing function from building a revenue engine. If you're a founder, you've probably been here: marketing is happening, effort is real, but growth still feels fragile. The tactics aren't compounding. You're not sure what's working or why. And you know you need senior help, but you're not ready for a full-time CMO. That's exactly where I work best. I come in and cut through to what matters. Not a strategy deck that sits on a shelf, but a clear point of view on where you're leaking revenue, what to focus on, and how to build the systems that make growth repeatable. I think carefully about right-sizing: the tools, the processes, the team structure that works for where you are today and can scale with you through your next raise. My background spans more than 15 years across consumer goods, tech, and growth-stage companies. I've owned P&Ls as a brand manager at P&G and SC Johnson, led demand generation and customer marketing at Gusto, served as Chief of Staff to the CRO, and led marketing at Reforge. That range is intentional. It's what lets me connect marketing decisions to business outcomes rather than treating them as separate conversations. Nothing makes me happier than a blank sheet of paper. The white space problems, the moments where the path isn't obvious and the answer has to be built rather than borrowed. That's where I do my best work. If any of this resonates with where you are, I'd love to connect.
