10 years of experience building and managing lean content creation and social teams in fast-paced start-up environments in both the DTC and digital publishing spaces. My track record of fast internal promotion is a result of the hard work, dedication, and grace under pressure that I bring to any challenge, regardless of the industry or topic at hand. I pride myself on being an effective and thoughtful leader who's not afraid to get his hands dirty with content creation, scheduling, and anything else that needs to be done to help bring the team across the finish line. I believe in strong mentoring of junior employees, providing them with transparency and participation to foster both professional and commitment to company vision and initiative. At The Underwear Expert, I cut my teeth and learned to be scrappy in a DTC startup with a headcount of four. We had fun, got creative, and tested our ideas in order to find and keep an audience of potential buyers of our subscription product. At Ranker, I joined a nimble and laser-focused audience team that was 'winning' the internet every day by approaching data analysis in an incredibly deep and thoughtful way, allowing us to deliver on both social KPIs and business and revenue goals. I adapted their philosophy of doing more of what works, less of what doesn't, and using numbers over anecdotes to make that determination. I added newsletter strategy and execution to my wheelhouse of knowledge and I developed my skills in paid social. At Outside, I used my knowledge and experience to completely overhaul Outside's approach to social media, working to educate the broader team on best social practices and creating efficient and meaningful systems of reporting. With my promotion to senior manager, I applied these new tactics and processes to Outside Interactive's broader portfolio of brands. I built out the social team, hiring and managing a talented roster of social media employees and independent contractors. I'm ready for the next challenge. Whether it’s a full-time role or consulting, let’s discover how I can make your days easier and your mission a success.
