I am a 15-year data-driven leader from Refinitiv (Thomson Reuters) and the Loan Syndication & Trading Association (LSTA) driving business strategy, product innovation/revenue growth, and continuous improvement. I have created go-to-market strategies for various LSTA offerings to achieve gains in readership, ideated new product offerings which generate revenue gains, and reduced the turnaround time of monthly reporting. I enjoy pushing my knowledge boundaries. I have researched user trends to implement go-to-market strategies for new product offerings targeting investors including Investor Relations, Sovereign Wealth Funds and Pensions, which included expanded offerings of white papers, creation of webinars and lunch learn series, and development of new AI based targeted podcasts for thousands of listeners. I’m highly customer-success focused and drive positive stakeholder relationships with LSTA member firms/employees, internal sales teams, rating agencies, and vendors. I have been successful in connecting senior management to Wall Street executives for sales/partnership opportunities and product guidance. I launched a recurring young professionals series for member companies to highlight diversity, equity, and inclusion through networking events connecting junior market participants to seasoned professionals and spotlight industry efforts for Environmental, Social, and Governance through educational webinar series.
