A little more about me

I am an accomplished technology executive and go-to-market leader. My strength is building go-to-market teams that truly integrate sales, marketing, and customer success for scale - there is no "us vs. them," no "marketing vs. sales." 

I'm passionate about building cultures that thrive on cooperation, connection, and teamwork. Every employee contributes to the company's success, regardless of role.

I’m also driven by a deep understanding of the customer. Properly understanding customer markets is the key to uncovering data that drives compelling product development and rich storytelling.

Throughout my career, I have been called upon to lead transformational change in companies of all sizes. This has led me to think and move quickly, and communicate clearly. My leadership philosophy is the "commander's intent" which drives both commitment and accountability across the organization.

This leadership style and a focus on both culture and go-to-market is what has driven me to success roles such as CEO and CMO.

I am a proud graduate of both Indiana University (B.A.) and The Kellogg School of Management (M.B.A.).

• Instrumental in four successful exits: three private sales, and one initial public offering
