I’m a fractional CMO and growth marketing leader who helps startups and SMBs scale faster by focusing on what truly drives revenue. I’ve built and led marketing teams from 0, created go-to-market strategies that deliver measurable results, and cut through the noise of vanity metrics. My approach is practical, data-driven, and hands-on. I align marketing with sales, simplify the chaos, and focus on outcomes that matter: pipeline, revenue, and growth. As your fractional marketing leader, I quickly identify what’s missing in your marketing engine, whether it’s the right strategy, people, tools, or processes. I bring structure, clarity, and results without the long-term cost (fraction of the cost) or risk of a full-time hire. What I do: growth strategy and go-to-market execution, marketing team setup and leadership coaching, demand generation and performance optimization.
