About

I am a full stack product, integrated marketing and communications executive whose highest impact comes from launching new products and building businesses at moments of change—when new categories are being created. I lead with clarity, agility, and a consumer sensibility that’s distinctive in enterprise marketing. For more than 20 years, I’ve worked at the epicenter of the biggest shifts in tech—from cloud to remote and hybrid work, to AI. Along the way, I’ve helped shape Microsoft’s culture, communications, and perception as a leader in the world of work. I’m known for taking big swings, simplifying the complex, and building and galvanizing large teams that deliver results. Storytelling sits at the heart of my craft. I bring together customer insight + business opportunity to create narratives that move markets. I’ve built trusted relationships at the top of every room—from C-suite leaders and Fortune 500 boardrooms to top tier journalists and creators, to global stages. I am equally passionate about developing talent and encouraging people to pursue bold ideas and achieve more than they ever thought possible.
