About
I’ve always believed the strongest marketing strategies begin with understanding the business. For over 20 years, I’ve partnered with leaders across sales, product, finance, operations, communications, technology, and executive leadership to align people and priorities to measurable business outcomes.
As a hands-on fractional marketing leader, I bring together diverse business lines to create a unified view of the customer, the brand, and the business. I earn trust by listening first, learning quickly, and connecting ideas across functions—moving organizations from fragmented initiatives to enterprise alignment where business strategy, customer insight, communications, marketing, and data work together.
