I've built brands from scratch
and scaled them at enterprise level

With 20+ years across brand strategy, marketing leadership, and creative direction, I've worked at both ends of the spectrum - scrappy freelance engagements and large corporations managing multi-million dollar budgets.

I'm currently seeking my next leadership opportunity - ideally as a CMO or VP of Marketing at a growth-stage startup or mid-size consumer brand.
