I’m a growth-focused CMO and executive advisor with deep experience scaling both high-growth startups and global enterprise organizations across B2B SaaS, AI and cybersecurity—bringing an AI-first mindset to how I approach strategy, go-to-market, and execution. I founded Studio CMO to provide fractional CMO and executive advisory leadership to companies at pivotal moments—often as the first senior marketing leader for startups or as a strategic partner to enterprise leadership teams navigating category creation, go-to-market transformation and growth inflection points. My work spans the intersection of product, sales (both direct & partners) and marketing, with deep strength in positioning and go-to-market strategy, and a proven ability to translate complex technologies into clear, differentiated value for enterprise buyers. I apply AI-driven approaches across content, demand generation, analytics and operating models to help teams move faster and scale more efficiently. I’ve built marketing organizations from the ground up and scaled teams from a handful of practitioners to 100+ global marketers, while managing and optimizing $20M+ marketing budgets to drive durable pipeline and revenue impact. Across my career, I’ve built $500M+ demand engines, supported billion-dollar acquisitions, designed and scaled partner ecosystems, and helped organizations move from early traction to sustained market leadership—equally comfortable rolling up my sleeves in startup environments or operating at the executive and board level within large enterprises. I take on selective engagements—fractional, advisory or contract—where there is strong executive alignment, meaningful business impact and the opportunity to build something that lasts. Outside of work, I value balance and creativity—finding energy in hot yoga and Pilates, great food, thoughtful design, film, music and long beach walks with family and friends.
