About

Over nearly two decades I've led, built and scaled marketing teams for B2B SaaS startups and big tech, managing every dimension of marketing along the way, including demand gen, brand, content, comms, PR, product marketing, creative, marketing ops and customer marketing. If you’re looking for that rare leader who combines right-brain analytical thinking (I’m not afraid of spreadsheets) with left-brain creativity — I’m your guy. I have deep expertise in AI, cloud, data analytics — the more complex the product, buyer and sale, the better. I have experience at high-growth startups, content and communications agencies, and Fortune 50 giants, including IBM, Dell, Oracle, Rackspace, 3M, Cisco, Facebook, Electronic Arts, Informatica, Sisense, and Argo Group. What sets me apart: - I understand how to refine complex portfolios of product offerings into simple message and narrative that will resonate in the market - Results-oriented. Able to think strategically, but act tactically. I know how to break big, seemingly insurmountable challenges down so that my teams can move mountains. - Diverse background with a focus in B2B SaaS technology experience for global leaders IBM, Dell, Oracle, Rackspace, 3M, Facebook, Electronic Arts, and experience at fast-paced startups like Sisense, Alloy,ai and Periscope Data - I combine left brain and right brain marketing. Highly creative with a decade leading brand and advertising teams, but also an analytical thinker who knows how to take a data-driven approach to launching campaigns that impact the business, driving demand and building pipeline. - Seasoned and trusted leader, passionate about building world-class teams and cross-functional management Expertise: Integrated marketing, campaigns marketing, brand marketing, creative marketing and design, content marketing, SaaS, product marketing, positioning and messaging, demand and lead generation, digital marketing, social media, advertising, marketing communications, customer and partner communications/marketing, integrated marketing programs, strategic planning, events, brand development, sales enablement, customer marketing, customer reference, customer engagement, new product launches, employee communications, internal communications
