I’ve been fortunate in life, with a supportive family and a career building global brands for Fortune 100 companies, dynamic startups, government institutions, and impactful charities. It’s not been easy, but it has been incredibly rewarding and interesting.
While proud of the marketing impact and growth we’ve driven for brands, the true highlight has always been the people: building teams, fostering talent, and achieving collective successes greater than the sum of our parts. That collaboration has been enormously satisfying.
If you're leading a mission-driven company focused on exceptional products, a strong brand that needs to be growth multiplier, and empowering your people, I'd welcome a conversation. Let’s chat.

Recognition for marketing excellence
My three-decade career has consistently earned recognition, including over 40 international awards for marketing excellence from organizations that celebrate world class marketing excellence like Cannes Cyber, One Show, and DMA Echoes.
Transitioning to the corporate world, I was honored as WSJ Marketer That Matters, Brand Marketer of the Year (for businesses under 1,000 people) at Box.
As CMO of Elevaate (now Quotient Technologies), I led the team to recognition as a Gartner Cool Vendor in Consumer Goods & Manufacturing and a Unilever Foundry top 50 company.
At Looker Data Sciences, our work in building the product and brand culminated in its $2.6B acquisition by Google.
