Growth through Marketing and Data
Let's connect
I believe the CMO needs to be as focused on results as the CFO. With an interest in emerging Marketing tech such as AI, as well as a deep background in the fundamentals of customer experience and research insights, I marry the art and science of brand building. My management style is based on nurturing talent through feedback, consensus building, and mentorship. I build team momentum by celebrating wins, then raising the bar.

I'm frequently asked about marketing and business growth in key trade publications. It's always fun to help my company spread the word as well as share my opinions. My secret trick to a great interview is quite simple... speak slowly! When reporters are talking to many people about a topic, the ones who speak at a pace where they can get write down the sound bites, are the people who get their companies in the press!
