About

Hi, I’m Nikki! 👋 I’m a journalist turned marketer and now personal brand strategist. The through-line? Storytelling that drives revenue, visibility, and real impact. My background spans growth marketing and leadership roles across CPG, Financial Services, B2B SaaS, Media, and Healthcare, where I’ve worked on everything from positioning and go-to-market strategy to performance growth and brand storytelling. That experience taught me how to translate complexity into clarity and how to build strategies that drive measurable, sustainable growth. Over time, my passion for storytelling led me to build my own personal brand. What started as sharing marketing insights on LinkedIn grew into a platform of 35,000+ followers, opening doors to partnerships, speaking opportunities, and long-term client work. More importantly, it gave me a front-row seat to what actually works when visibility, strategy, and narrative are aligned. Today, my work is focused on helping people grow, not just companies. As a LinkedIn Personal Brand Strategist, I work with executives, founders, coaches, and professionals as both a strategic coach and mentor. Through my Authentic Story Framework™, I help clients clarify their positioning, differentiate their voice, and translate their experience into content and thought leadership that compounds over time. I’m also the Co-Founder of Brand ME, where we work with companies to develop their executive teams and employees as strategic brand assets. Brand ME focuses on helping organizations empower leaders to build credible, aligned personal brands that strengthen company visibility, trust, and culture through workshops, training, and enterprise programs. Alongside this, I continue to partner with a limited number of startups and established organizations through consulting and Fractional CMO engagements, focusing on strengthening marketing foundations and strategic growth initiatives. Whether I’m guiding a leader through a career pivot or helping a brand navigate its next stage of growth, my mission is the same: help brands, and the people behind them, grow with clarity and purpose.
