About
I'm a marketer with the soul of a sales guy, musically inclined engineer, and data-driven storyteller.
I'm a whole lotta things that are not "supposed" to go together, but they have empowered me with a unique perspective and ability to see opportunities where many may not.
My passion is and will always be bridging the gap between marketing and sales to create a powerful synergy that is extremely effective at converting buyers into customers. I believe that these two teams need each other more than ever before and that modern marketing and sales leaders must understand how to leverage each other in order to achieve their individual goals and those of the company. This is why I am laser-focused on helping leaders create a clear customer acquisition strategy across brand, demand generation, product marketing, social media, sales, and customer success - that is focused on revenue growth.
I call it creating "togetherness"
With nearly 20 years of experience in marketing, business development, and sales roles ranging from Fortune 100 corporations to early-stage startups, I've had the opportunity to experience best practices and work with top-performing professionals across multiple functions and industries such as tech, manufacturing, and biotech/pharma.
My goal is to continue gaining varied experiences that broaden my understanding of how to win the business of the modern buyer and to share these learnings with B2B companies focused on being industry leaders of the future.
