I design and lead modern marketing ecosystems that drive growth, strengthen brand equity, and operationalize innovation. With over a decade of experience across B2B, B2C, and hybrid business models, I specialize in translating complex brand and business goals into integrated strategies that perform, spanning full-funnel acquisition, lifecycle engagement, and cross-channel storytelling.
My approach combines creativity with operational rigor. I’ve built high-performing teams, transformed legacy marketing operations, and embedded AI into day-to-day workflows, elevating both efficiency and strategic depth. From architecting brand frameworks to launching global GTM initiatives, I bring a systems-oriented mindset grounded in data, experimentation, and velocity.
Led cross-functional initiatives that modernized marketing infrastructure, aligned executive stakeholders, and accelerated organizational priorities
Built and operationalized growth engines across early-stage startups and global SaaS businesses
Embedded AI and prompt engineering into marketing workflows to scale institutional knowledge and decision-making
Developed narrative clarity and positioning frameworks for complex, multi-product portfolios
Partnered closely with product, data, and executive teams to ensure marketing reflects and drives strategy
I believe the strongest marketing leaders sit at the intersection of brand, performance, and operations. I lead with strategy, build for scale, and measure what matters, helping organizations move fast without sacrificing alignment or clarity.
In a high-volume, matrixed marketing environment, the challenge was not only what the brand said. It was how the marketing organization operated.
Stakeholder requests were arriving with uneven context, unclear priorities, and inconsistent alignment to business goals. This created avoidable rework, slowed execution, and made it harder to distinguish urgent work from strategically valuable work.
As Director of Marketing, I identified intake quality, prioritization, and workflow clarity as high-leverage opportunities for transformation. I led the work across marketing operations, AI-enabled workflow design, governance, stakeholder alignment, reporting rhythms, and team adoption.
I mapped the existing intake and execution workflow to identify where ambiguity, missing context, and stakeholder handoffs slowed progress.
From there, I built an AI-assisted intake system using OpenAI, Zapier, and Asana to improve request quality before work entered the team’s pipeline. The system prompted stakeholders for clearer objectives, audiences, deadlines, deliverables, dependencies, and success criteria before submission.
I also created clearer prioritization and reporting structures to connect marketing activity with business goals, budget decisions, and leadership visibility. The work established more scalable ways for stakeholders to request, brief, review, and activate marketing work, while creating a foundation for broader AI experimentation across content development, reporting, workflow design, and operational decision-making.
The result was a more disciplined marketing operating model: clearer inputs, fewer avoidable handoffs, stronger alignment, and improved visibility into marketing work.
More importantly, the project created a practical example of how AI can improve the way a marketing function operates, not by adding novelty, but by improving upstream clarity, reducing manual coordination, and freeing the team to focus on higher-value strategic execution.
Resonai’s cutting-edge AR digital twin technology was ready for market expansion but lacked focused product merchandising and a scalable inbound engine. With a complex enterprise solution and multiple viable verticals, the business needed clear positioning, vertical prioritization, and a performance-driven demand generation strategy to meet its growth targets.
As Senior Manager of Demand Generation, I reported directly to senior leadership and partnered cross-functionally with product, sales, and creative. I owned the full demand engine—including SEO, content, performance marketing, and nurture—while managing external agencies and internal resources. My mandate was clear: increase inbound MQL volume and quality while building foundational programs that could scale with the business.
Product and Market Strategy: Conducted in-depth market fit analysis and persona development to identify high-potential verticals and refine messaging.
Positioning and Asset System: Developed scalable product positioning frameworks and launched vertical-specific landing pages and sales collateral.

Sales Enablement: Partnered with product and sales to develop vertical-focused pitch decks, demos, and post-event nurture workflows.
PR and Events: Oversaw Resonai’s presence at key industry events (virtual and in-person), and coordinated PR pushes tied to product launches and customer wins.
Resonai’s digital presence transformed from a generalist tech offering to a verticalized solution suite with clear customer use cases. Inbound lead quality improved significantly, supported by SEO-optimized content, a robust nurture sequence, and conversion-optimized landing pages. Sales was equipped with assets and messaging tailored to priority verticals, accelerating sales cycles and deal velocity.
In preparation for future in-app transactions, Leafly needed to reposition itself from a content and discovery platform to a full-service ordering marketplace. Leafly Pickup was launched to enable frictionless online ordering through dispensary partners—laying the foundation for transactional monetization, customer loyalty, and actionable first-party data across Leafly’s national partner network.
As Go-To-Market Product Marketing Manager, I led cross-functional coordination across product, creative, data, and partner enablement. I shaped GTM strategy for both B2B and B2C audiences—developing core messaging, incentives, and adoption programs while ensuring alignment across the sales funnel and partner lifecycle.
Market and User Research: Led user and partner research to validate product-market fit, define personas, and uncover friction in the ordering journey.
Positioning and Messaging Architecture: Developed differentiated messaging for dispensary partners (B2B) and end users (B2C) to support education, adoption, and loyalty.
Integrated Campaign Development: Directed creative strategy for digital assets, in-product messaging, POS displays, print, and OOH campaigns.

Field Enablement: Supported boots-on-the-ground activation in key markets (Seattle, Arizona), working closely with partner teams to refine onboarding and troubleshoot at scale.
Forecasting and Performance Modeling: Built adoption and profitability models to support monetization planning and investor communications.
Leafly Pickup successfully launched in pilot markets, with adoption-driving insights informing broader rollout strategy. The initiative established Leafly’s infrastructure for future in-app transactions and positioned the brand as a transactional marketplace. As legalization continues to expand, Pickup serves as a monetizable engine for Leafly’s partner ecosystem, enabling deeper customer data collection and platform stickiness.

With features including referral incentives, gift card integration, and a social recommendations engine, Favly needed tight alignment between product experience, messaging, and early monetization to gain traction in a competitive app landscape.
Brought in as Senior Product Marketing Manager ahead of launch, I partnered with the CMO, product, and creative teams to define go-to-market strategy, shape product positioning, and guide the user experience. My focus was on crafting a compelling brand narrative, building retention infrastructure, and developing partner incentive models to fuel two-sided adoption.
