The Story So Far: Marketing and Growth Leadership

​
My advertising and marketing career started in ad agencies back when AOL CDs still showed up in the mail. That pace taught me to move fast, adapt, and use creativity to solve real problems. I launched retail stores, promoted video games and toys, and filled hotel rooms for major consumer brands.
​
I then moved into corporate marketing with global leaders such as Hitachi Vantara and Cisco, where I focused on integrated marketing that united strategy and storytelling with a focus on scale and growth.
​
For the past 15+ years I’ve built and scaled marketing at startups and high-growth companies. I lead demand generation, launch brands, and shape messaging that differentiates. I bring a scrappy, player-coach approach, rolling up my sleeves and/or building teams toward a broader vision. I combine the creative edge of B2C with the strategic discipline of B2B to deliver impact across industries.​
​
Practical and collaborative, with an eye for breaking through clutter, from standout programs to creative second acts for old swag and even relics like those old AOL CDs.
