I’ve been fortunate in life, so far. I have a great wife, two strong kids who have both just earned degrees, and a career that has given me opportunity to build brands around the globe for major Fortune 100 companies, small-but-mighty brands, government institutions, and superb charitable causes. It’s not been easy, but it has been interesting.

The best part has been the incredible people I’ve been able to meet, work with, and learn from along the way. Yes, we’ve created some great marketing that’s driven growth for great brands. I’m proud of that

legacy, but it’s the people who have been the highlights. Building teams, creating opportunity, helping people discover what they didn’t know they were capable of, and achieving a result that no one of us could have conceived on our own. That has been enormously satisfying.

If you're building a mission driven company that believes in building great products, a great brand, and great careers for your people, I’m sure we’ll have lots to talk about. Let’s chat.

Recognition for marketing excellence

The work I’ve been part of has been recognized consistently over three decades with more than 40 awards for marketing excellence from many of the most respected international organizations, including Cannes Cyber and Cannes Direct, One Show and DMA Echoes. 

When I switched to the corporate world, my luck continued and was awarded the WSJ Marketers That Matter, Brand Marketer of the Year for businesses under 1,000 people while at Box. As CMO of Elevaate (now part of Quotient Technologies), I secured the team credit as a Gartner Cool Vendor in Consumer Goods & Manufacturing and recognition as a Unilever Foundry top 50. At Looker Data Sciences, we built a product and a brand that Google was ready to pay $2.6B to secure.
