At the heart of my entire career has been some aspect of business planning and management -- but always with a marketing bent. Leadership initiatives managed included: research and analysis, strategic planning, joint-venture planning, product development, promotion design, events, agency and alliance management, client relations and executive collaboration. While adept at strategy and tactics development, I also have proven skills to tackle execution and project management. This ability to implement helps ensure the strategic plans I develop are operationally sound and will achieve targeted results.MARKETING MANAGEMENT & INNOVATIONMarketing Operations efficiency and effectiveness are personal specialties that tap my talents for both the rigors of planning and market demand for creativity and innovation. As an intrapreneur -- sparking creativity from within a firm and for clients -- I see opportunities from multiple angles, connect inputs from traditional and unexpected sources and create new value.STRATEGYNatural curiosity and an aptitude for numbers and continuous learning are some additional strengths I bring to business and marketing strategy. My bias toward integration across the business makes the strategies and plans I lead development of that much more relevant and impactful.COMMUNICATIONSAnother key part of my entire career has been crafting messages and media that connect. I'm particularly skilled at capturing the unique "voice" of the executive or company to engage the audience in a personal way. I create communications enriched by a broad understanding of business, clients and other key stakeholders.CLIENT-RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENTConnecting with prospects and clients is the foundation of building long-term relationships. With over 25 years of experience successfully serving Fortune 1000 and Global 200 clients, I have the ability to read client organizations and help the account team serve the situation effectively.
