About

A little about me

I help organizations grow by building marketing functions that align brand, demand generation, customer experience, and business strategy.

Over the past 20 years, I have led marketing initiatives for high-growth companies, national associations, and membership organizations, driving revenue growth, expanding audience engagement, and building high-performing teams. My experience spans brand strategy, demand generation, events, communications, digital marketing, and organizational leadership.

Whether launching new programs, revitalizing underperforming products, or building marketing infrastructure from the ground up, I focus on creating sustainable growth and measurable business impact.
