***NOT a "L.I.O.N." and NOT for hire until Q4 2024 at the earliest.*** And at this time, ONLY for Pickleball ventures. :)As a Fractional Marketing Executive, I deliver high-impact strategic leadership at a fraction of the time and cost required for a full-time C-level executive. This approach is an ideal, cost-effective solution for small businesses and startups that require expert guidance without the financial burden of a full-time salary and benefits.I provide my clients with senior-level insight and the support of an entire team—offering unparalleled value at a fraction of traditional costs. In some cases, I am open to equity-based compensation in lieu of a full salary, aligning my interests with the long-term success of the business.My expertise centers on e-commerce, with a strong focus on health and wellness brands. I have spearheaded the launch and scaling of over 45 health and wellness brands, spanning hemp, CBD, mushrooms, and more. This includes hands-on experience from initial startup phases to navigating public market entries. My comprehensive knowledge extends across branding, marketing, regulatory compliance, packaging, and sales. In 2019, I expanded my expertise by acquiring and managing 21 health and wellness retail locations, adding extensive retail strategy to my skill set.I have built a network of highly skilled specialists who excel in their respective areas, ensuring that our core offerings—lead-generating, SEO-optimized websites—are delivered with excellence. For specialized tasks outside our in-house capabilities, we collaborate with vetted professionals to meet any business need, either by connecting you to them or managing the process on your behalf.My role transcends traditional marketing; I provide strategic access to key sales channels, develop effective sales methodologies, and offer the tools essential for successful product placement in retail environments. I also create significant value through targeted introductions to influential industry contacts and the development of strategic partnerships that amplify market reach. If connections within the hemp sector are required, I am well-versed, with either direct relationships or close connections throughout the industry. I am ready to leverage these networks to foster opportunities and accelerate growth.P.S. Why pickleball? Because I want to bring what I'm best at--sales and marketing--to the industry I love the most.
