As Wikimotive continues to grow I've been tasked with formalizing things that startups get away with ignoring. Well they ignore them until it causes them a lot of pain. We're ahead of that curve with creating career paths that show people where they can go and what skills they'll need to get there. I've also created operation flow paths that reduce noise and allow us to continue to deliver at an incredibly high degree even with the inevitable "fire tasks" that come with the business. Building systems is really rewarding, but building employees simply can't be beat. Strategic Planning:-Collaborate with the executive team to develop and execute operational strategies aligned with the agency's overarching goals.-Translate business objectives into concrete operational plans.Process Optimization:-Evaluate and refine internal processes to boost efficiency, scalability, and overall operational performance.-Identify opportunities for automation and technology integration to streamline workflows.Team Leadership:-Lead and cultivate the operations team, fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.-Facilitate effective communication and coordination across all departments.Project Oversight:-Supervise the end-to-end execution of client projects, collaborating closely with project managers to ensure quality and timely delivery.-Implement and refine project management methodologies to optimize project outcomes.

Is General Manager a weird title for a marketing company position? Sure, but when you're a mix of Operations Director, SEO Strategist, Marketing Analyst and even a little HR, it makes a lot more sense. I have spent my time at Wikimotive taking my systematic approach to SEO, honed over the course of a decade in the business, and I'm expanding it across the entire company. From keyword strategies that cover multiple intent groups and entity based search, to content that is far and away the best thing available in this vertical (seriously), we make excellence the standard not the edge case. At Wikimotive I'm ensuring our talk is backed up by our walk, and I'm proud to say that when our marketing material talks a big game it's because we really do provide it. Those who know me know that I'm as pragmatic and no-nonsense as they come, so if I say it works it's because I know for a fact it does.Outside of my SEO efforts in the company, I love mentoring my employees through advanced training, regular 1:1 meetings and company activities. It's incredible to have such a dynamic group of bright minds asking questions that matter to them, coming up with solutions to unique problems and taking the systems and processes I've developed to the next level.

As Director of Product, I owned the entire life cycle of our SEO, SEM, Analytics and Content Marketing programs. During my time in the position I released three new products, developing target personas, producing market research,in- market testing, training sales and operations for release, producing marketing collateral and supporting documentation and providing direct field support after release. My approach is to take great care in understanding the problems the clients have and developing solutions that address them in an easily recognizable way. This approach allowed sales to focus on selling the product, rather than having to explain it. I took pleasure in interacting with clients and sales directly, taking their feedback and using it to further refine our offerings in an iterative process. My hands-on approach made me a go-to resource for product questions and general marketing questions from the field.

At Propel Marketing, I've redesigned our international SEO program to bring boutique SEO practices to main street America and beyond. We serve small, medium and a growing number of enterprise-level clients, offering long-lasting results using proven methodology that has resulted in impressive results quarter after quarter. I owned the entire lifecycle of this program, from earning buy-in from the C suite and finance to creating market research, go-to market plans, training materials including live presentations and webinars, and post-release support. I was known as a get-it-done worker who wasn't afraid to sit down with individual sales people to help them see the full potential of a client, even beyond my own products. Results:Net revenue churn cut in halfNet Client churn reduced by two thirdsARPU trending upwardI also created an analytics department to ensure that we're backing up our talk with full reporting that doesn't filter out the "bad news," accurately shows off the good stuff and displays what our client's ROI really is. Having a dedicated analytics team means we can serve as trusted advisers for our clients, and drives all our products, from PPC and Display advertising to responsive websites, to improve to better serve our customers. Our holistic view of SEO goes beyond metas and backlinks, approaching our client's web properties in a way that will make the greatest impact on their business. The real strength of our program, however, is our complete transparency. We base our actions on analytics, and we give our client's access to that same information.
