I’m a marketing leader who builds scalable systems that connect strategy to results. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve led growth initiatives for multi-national brands, launched marketing teams from scratch, repositioned industry leaders, and helped generate strong ROI on marketing and sales programs. My background spans staffing, industrial B2B, technology, and innovation-focused nonprofits. Whether building SEO engines, launching content programs powered by AI, integrating martech like HubSpot and Salesforce, or aligning teams around brand and demand, I’ve focused on creating marketing that actually performs. I enjoy working with organizations going through change—scaling, rebranding, pivoting—and I’m especially interested in opportunities where marketing and growth strategy are central to success. I'm open to executive roles, strategic partnerships, and select consulting engagements where I can help make marketing a true growth driver.
