I design and lead revenue-generating marketing systems that align strategy with measurable execution. As a senior marketing leader and Fractional CMO, I translate business objectives into scalable growth, having led multichannel organizations with full revenue accountability, including a $40M national division, and managing teams across acquisition, lifecycle marketing, and operations. I focus on aligning marketing to defined revenue objectives before activating channels, establishing KPI tracking and executive reporting before scaling spend, building full-funnel acquisition programs, and integrating AI to improve analysis and decision velocity without replacing judgment. Through DigitalMarketingResearch.ca I provide audit-led growth strategy and AI-enabled marketing system design for organizations seeking clarity and accountable growth. In parallel, I teach digital marketing and AI applications at Sheridan, bringing applied research into classroom practice.
