A little more about me

I am an accomplished global executive and go-to-market leader. During my career I have driven outsized results by building high-performing go-to-market teams, applying core marketing fundamentals and KPIs, as well as driving progressive company cultures. I strive for true sales and marketing interlock where the two teams work together seamlessly during the entire revenue cycle. 

As a leader, I’m driven by the clarity of the “commander’s intent,” the importance of commitment and accountability, as well as being compassionate when managing a team. Throughout my career, I have been called upon to lead transformational change among marketing teams, within a company, and within markets. This has led me to think and move quickly, and communicate clearly.

I’m also driven by a deep understanding of the customer. Properly understanding customer markets is the key to uncovering data that drives compelling and rich storytelling. I have expert knowledge of all areas of marketing including brand development, communications, demand generation, funnel analytics, product management and development, advertising, promotions, e-commerce, customer lifecycle and loyalty, competitive intelligence, sales support, segmentation, social, market research, and strategy.

Focused on these areas, I build successful cultures, create compelling brands, drive actionable, measurable demand, and create positive ROI on sales and marketing spend.
