About

I've spent 15 years across B2B and B2C tech companies — from small to global enterprises with 20,000+ employees — building high-performing teams, functions, and operating models that turn marketing and content into measurable business growth. My work sits at the intersection of brand, content, and demand — where I translate business strategy into storytelling and integrated marketing programs that build audiences, grow pipeline, and drive revenue. For the past eight years, I've worked at the center of organizational decision-making, reporting directly to different C-Suite executives — Chief Marketing Officer, Chief Content Officer, Chief Strategy Officer, and Chief of Staff to the CEO — and leading global teams of 12 to 35+ across continents. I've transformed and scaled content teams into growth engines, built marketing functions from scratch, and partnered with a CEO to take his first thought leadership podcast from idea to platform. These were different challenges at different companies, but with the same two constants — earning trust and delivering results. The teams I've led have reached audiences in 180+ countries, delivered double-digit YoY growth, driven millions of site visits, scaled owned-channels to 3M+ followers, secured a 95% content CSAT, and generated multi-million-dollar revenue through content monetization. While those numbers matter, it is the people who made them happen that matter more. Born and raised abroad, I've built my life and career across cultures, markets, and time zones, and speak five languages — that foundation has shaped how I lead. I hold a Master's in Digital Marketing from Georgetown and have completed executive education at Harvard and Wharton, which have sharpened my strategic thinking and business acumen. I've visited 30+ countries and have spent years leading global teams across the US, UK, and India — experiences that have deepened my global perspective. And I find creative inspiration in art, design, and fashion — bringing that same eye for aesthetics and audience to every brand and content challenge I take on. I'm always open to connecting with leaders who care about building strong teams, developing people, and creating work that truly matters.
