About

AI-Driven Marketing Leader | TrendAI | Mentor & Diversity Advocate I’m a growth-focused marketing leader passionate about bringing AI-powered innovation to market and turning it into real, measurable business impact. With extensive experience across Tier-1 technology organisations, I specialise in translating complex technologies into compelling, customer-centric narratives that drive adoption, build brand authority, and accelerate revenue growth. I’ve led high-performing, cross-functional teams across Australia, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa, delivering integrated marketing strategies that align closely with sales and business priorities. My approach is both strategic and hands-on—combining data, creativity, and emerging technologies to build scalable demand engines. From AI-led campaigns and account-based marketing to digital transformation and partner marketing, I focus on what matters most: pipeline, performance, and ROI. I’m particularly energised by the role AI is playing in reshaping marketing—how we engage customers, personalise experiences, and drive smarter decisions at scale. Beyond marketing, I’m deeply committed to mentoring future talent and advocating for diversity and inclusion, helping build stronger, more innovative teams. Core areas of focus: • AI-led Marketing & Go-to-Market Strategy • Demand Generation & Pipeline Acceleration • Account-Based Marketing (ABM) • Partner & Channel Marketing • Digital Transformation & Customer Journey Optimisation • Brand, Thought Leadership & Market Expansion Always open to connecting with leaders who are passionate about innovation, growth, and the future of AI in marketing.
