Who I Am
Senior brand strategy and marketing leader who thrives on building, not just maintaining. Nearly two decades turning insights into growth across innovation, strategy, and marketing roles, trained in the strategic rigor of UK creative agencies and sharpened in marketing roles across diverse categories and cultures.I do my best work as a creator: a Cannes Lions-winning campaign conceived in three hours, a membership platform reimagined for 100 million+ customers, a podcast featured by Apple. My story is one of curiosity and range. I can find anything interesting, which means I bring fresh perspective to entrenched problems. Clients extend engagements because I quickly become the trusted advisor who gets to the heart of what matters.Strategic rigor meets relentless curiosity.Current Project: Leading strategy for a creative campaign to bring a new medical procedure to market to help one out of every two U.S. adults with Koto.
