ABOUT
Building brands. Moving people.
Turning disconnected efforts into integrated growth
My background:
-
25+ years: Agency founder → Corporate leader → Nonprofit executive
-
Industries: Manufacturing, fintech, healthcare, CPG, associations
-
Scale: Built agency, led marketing for $30M+ companies
-
Tech: HubSpot, Mailchimp, Unbounce, Adobe Creative Suite, Apollo.io, Office 365
The pattern recognition:
Twenty-five years reveals the same truth: the best solutions exist at intersections. Where creative meets data. Where brand positioning connects to sales enablement. Where technology integration unlocks team performance.
At a $30M manufacturer, I connected fragmented systems and disconnected teams — 60% faster deployment, 39% higher conversions. At an ag fintech, I connected complex products to simple narratives — 150% database growth, lead quality jumped from 62 to 89. At Iowa YMCAs, I connected 68 organizations into unified advocacy — $4.5M in state funding secured.
The advantage:
I’ve built a boutique marketing and communications agency, led marketing inside companies, directed nonprofit communications, then returned to corporate. Each environment taught different languages. Now I’m fluent in translation.
Great marketing requires connecting sales insights to messaging, customer data to creative decisions, executive vision to team execution, and technology capabilities to business outcomes. I build the bridges. Then I help teams walk across them.
What I’m looking for:
What matters isn’t the title or the structure — it’s whether we can create the impact your organization needs. Whether that’s as part of your leadership team or as strategic fractional support, I’m focused on results.
