Charlotte-NYC-Los Angeles-TampaI’m a marketing leader and business development strategist with over a decade of experience in leadership across a variety of industries, from F&B to Technology. In my spare time, I mentor entrepreneurs in marketing and GTM strategy and recently started consulting and speaking on easier ways to determine brand positioning and marketing strategy using proprietary methodologies I created that have helped me and those I’ve advised. I'm also interested in the intersection of Anthropology with Marketing and Advertising, and look forward to speaking and teaching more around this. Previously, I was a partner and CEO of Uptown Creative which delivered digital marketing for such brands as Lenovo, Microsoft, and Uniqlo. I've helped launch multiple startups and created partnerships or closed deals with Dodgers Stadium, Warner Bros, and Tao Group Hospitality. I'm also a former entrepreneur, creating Cloud under my LLC, Project No. 9, with the main purpose of offering unique skincare solutions for women on the go. Cloud delivered the first non-slip quick-dry solution for high heel pain using nanotechnology, which was featured in The Zoe Report and Beauty Independent and was available at Saks, Dillard's, Free People, Urban Outfitters, and boutiques across the nation. I use my experience in both agency ownership and entrepreneurship to help founders avoid the pitfalls and achieve success! In my spare time, I enjoy writing - including some screenwriting - and spending time with my 3-legged rescue pup, Sweet Baby Jane.
