about

Marketing & Growth Executive

I'm a builder, scaler, and optimizer who believes marketing is most effective when it's connected to the business, grounded in customer understanding, and measured by its impact on the bottom line. Across my career, I've helped organizations navigate digital disruption, changing customer expectations, and evolving business models by building growth engines, strengthening brands, modernizing marketing capabilities, and turning strategy into measurable results.

I've worked across startups and Fortune 500 enterprises, B2B, B2C, B2B2C, and DTC business models, and industries ranging from SaaS and media technology to global healthcare, life sciences, retail, and financial services. At HSN, I helped transform a traditional retail business into a digitally driven operation, growing digital to 73% of revenue. At Sotera Health, I built a digital growth strategy across four global brands, contributing to more than $5M in incremental annual revenue. At Hoopla Digital, I transformed marketing into a strategic growth organization, expanding pipeline 300%, driving $37M in revenue impact, and scaling marketing capabilities across a global business. Most recently, I've brought that same enterprise discipline to a startup, building its go-to-market strategy and marketing infrastructure from the ground up.

My approach combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution. I believe in understanding the business before prescribing solutions, building the right teams and operating models, testing and scaling what works, and continually optimizing investments against business goals. That means connecting brand, demand generation, sales, product, and RevOps; making data actionable; embracing emerging technologies and AI; and creating the alignment and capabilities needed for sustainable growth.

I welcome complex challenges, whether that means building something from zero, scaling what's working, or rethinking what's no longer delivering. The objective is always the same: make marketing a stronger driver of business performance. Let's solve the next challenge together.

"Master the topic, the message, and the delivery."

- Steve Jobs
