I'm a strategy-forward, hands-on marketing leader with 15+ years delivering messaging, integrated campaigns, content systems, and marketing operations across B2B and regulated environments (insurance, financial services, specialty products). I turn ambiguity into clear positioning, scoped workstreams, and prioritized execution—then build the assets, workflows, and reporting that make results repeatable. I also support personal and small-business projects through discovery, goal-setting, channel selection, and 30/60/90-day roadmaps, as well as larger cross-functional programs.
