➡️ We will develop compelling brand stories and effective go-to-market strategies
➡️ Align marketing operations with business goals, so every dollar works smarterI offer small, agile businesses like yours, the benefits of my years of corporate experience to help you scale more cost effectively.

I’m an experienced marketing leader with 20+ years of blending creativity, analytics, and technology to drive results. A true left brain/right brain thinker — my colleagues describe me as “creatalytical.” I’m equally at home crafting brand storytelling and creative campaigns, or diving deep into data, CRM/automation systems, and workflows. I also love mentoring teams to deliver their best work.That blend of analytical rigor and creative vision lets me bridge strategy and execution in ways that deliver measurable impact for marketing, sales and business operations.Here’s what I can help you with:
• Go-to-market strategy for offerings in both complex B2B and simpler consumer environments
• Product & channel marketing (B2B & B2C), including communication strategy, web support, events & trade shows
• Customer experience & journey mapping, aligned to your business goals
• CRM & marketing automation (HubSpot, ClickUp, Monday.com, Pipedrive, Sugar, MS Dynamics, and others)
• Digital transformation & process optimization — first refining your existing tools, then layering in cost-effective tech or AI tools to boost efficiencyI thrive on connecting strategy to execution and making process collaborative, clear, and results-driven.
