I have extensive success owning marketing strategy, marketing operations, brand, and all digital channels. A cross-functional, global collaborator experienced in building diverse technical and creative departments and being the sole contributor. Most importantly, I understand how to align marketing strategy to business goals, establish the necessary plan to get there, and then execute across channels.
Marketing Operation Efficiency
I grew a marketing team of 10 and built a revenue marketing model that increased revenues by 12% YOY, reduced Cost-Per-Acquisition by 44% and improved Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs) leads by 226%.
Significant Growth
I helped grow a young credit card processor into an established leader that went on to process over $21B annually before becoming acquired. I was the first official employee and was responsible for pioneering all corporate marketing, communications, product, brand and channel strategy for four years.
Global, S&P 500
I oversaw the global online strategy for a multibillion-dollar, global S&P 500. During my four years, I increased our new monthly visitors by 20% to over 100k a month. Projects included a redesign of our US, EU, China and Germany websites as well as numerous project-related microsites. Additionally, I oversaw a redesign and two migrations of our Investor Relations portal, the design of our customer portal and managed our global intranet.
Launching & Consolidating Brands
I defined the brand for a new company holding and oversaw its launch into an established marketplace. Additionally, over my three-year tenure, I consolidated six holdings into three in order to better position our services.
Value, Trust & Authority
Regardless of your product or service, you should ALWAYS be selling three things. Value, trust and authority.
Scalable, Flexible & Modular
Build things in a scalable, flexible and modular way. Businesses, customers and technology are always evolving.
The Hunter or the Hunted
You’re either going to innovate and disrupt or spend your time trying to capture and maintain market share.

I am a lifelong learner who loves soccer, sushi and Chicago deep dish pizza. Above all, I am passionate about my family and our time together. In my free time, I believe it’s important to support charitable organizations who are creating positive change at the human level, elevating communities and inspiring those around them.
