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 not only reflects strategy—but drives it
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.
The Foster School of Business faced a fragmented user experience and a brand identity that undersold its value in a competitive graduate education market. Partner-led content decisions led to inconsistencies across web, email, and social channels, diluting our message to prospective students, current students, and alumni.
As Director of Marketing, I led the strategy, alignment, and execution of a comprehensive rebrand alongside a cross-functional team of designers, content creators, and project managers. I partnered with leadership to define key narratives and worked closely with our Director of Design to reimagine the visual identity. In parallel, I introduced a funnel-first content framework to unify messaging across the applicant journey—from awareness to application.
