I am a Senior SEO & Content Marketing Manager with 8 years of experience driving organic growth and revenue across fintech, investing and B2C/B2B SaaS. I specialize in multi-channel organic acquisition—SEO, AI-search, content, social, CRO and email—and I’ve led content and SEO strategy at fast-growing fintechs and publishers, collaborating with product, growth and performance marketing to turn search and content into a predictable revenue engine. Most recently, I delivered a +22% YoY organic revenue increase via a four-month US tax season campaign, and achieved a 350%+ revenue lift from organic search content, despite a -11% dip in traffic due to changing search behavior from AI Overviews/LLMs. I’ve shifted focus to AI-search optimization (LLMs, AI Overviews, GEO) with outputs that increased AI and SERP visibility, restructured content hubs, and scaled editorial to support go-to-market campaigns. Since mid-2025, I’ve been leveraging agile workflows to scale publishing output, automate social activity, and reduce freelancer costs while maintaining high editorial quality.
