10+ years immersed in the world of digital media + start-ups, driving revenue and strategic partnerships for leading tech organizations. My passion lies in brand storytelling and new media innovations. Focus areas include Social, E-Commerce, Audio, and the Creator Economy.My media career began on The Wall Street Journal print/digital team, and in 2011, I joined Spotify's US launch team as the first NA Ad Operations hire. Over the next 7+ years at Spotify, I progressed into a Sales Director designing media strategies across audio, mobile video, and artist partnerships. Since then, I've worked with passionate, fast-paced sales teams at TikTok, DoubleVerify, and Popular Pays -- helping marketers navigate digital trends and create meaningful connections with consumers.I'm inspired by new challenges that push boundaries and contribute to the growth of a forward-thinking organization. Especially teams that balance ambitious products with a bold mission. At home, I'm a proud husband and father who prioritizes spending time in the outdoors - particularly on or near water.
