Welcome to my profile. I am a future-facing marketing firestarter with a reputation for disrupting the status quo to deliver the wow factor that captures the imagination of the consumer. I am passionate about what I do because I can resolve complex issues and develop/lead high-performing teams in the execution of marketing magic that leaves a positive and indelible impression while also increasing revenue and profits for my customers and employers. I have a broad skill set that is applicable to any industry, with an aptitude for “sight beyond data,“ the ability to analyze data and then reach beyond data-driven conclusions to identify answers that can defy the obvious. I am adept at overcoming challenges, embracing adversity “as the brush that paints {the} masterpiece of resilience and triumph." I have a talent for creating compelling narratives and organizational messaging that increase brand awareness, lift consumer traffic, and drive bottom-funnel conversions. I am also noted as a change agent, navigating through all levels of an organization to secure commitment for transformation initiatives. I know I am only as good as the teams I lead, so I take time to develop, coach, and mentor each team member for growth and success. As a result, I can create a cohesive environment with high levels of engagement and performance. My key areas of expertise include Strategic Planning & Execution, Marketing Transformation, Thought Leadership, Omnichannel Marketing Campaigns, Digital Marketing, Social Media Marketing, Brand Awareness & Management, Strategic Alliances / Partnerships, Account Based Marketing, AI & Machine Learning Model Development, Data Analytics & Actionable Insights, Marketing Automation, Stakeholder Relationship Management, Process Methodologies, Programmatic Marketing, Product/Performance Marketing, Cross-Platform Marketing, Staff Development, and Leadership.
