I am, by nature, a connector—a storyteller and story seeker inspired by the power of narrative to forge bonds between people of all temperaments and companies of all kinds. As good a listener as observer, I am driven to understand human motivations at every scale, single individuals to large demographic groups, convinced that such knowledge is the foundation of meaningful and long-lasting relationships with customers and colleagues. This worldview, I believe, contributes to a unique professional profile. Although expert at defining and differentiating brands, I am not a traditionally trained marketer. That just means I rarely tackle challenges in the usual ways. Original ideas and unpacking complex problems to find elegant solutions is what I enjoy. Unlike many marketers, I have considerable agency and client-side experience, the former resulting in a proven ability to collaborate and drive new business, the latter teaching me to think holistically about product, marketing, sales and client service. My overarching goal is always to secure the resources, build the teams and install the processes necessary to create and operate healthy organizations. And yet I also enjoy the art of selling, particularly combining the most efficient tools (SEO, mobile, PR) of message delivery with face-to-face client/customer interactions to arrive at effective revenue-generation strategies.
