Marketing & Communications Leader with Deep Experience in the Social SectorWhen I was 10, I rallied my friends to build a log cabin in the woods behind our suburban neighborhood. We worked as a team, evaluating the length and weight of each fallen log, dragging them through the woods, carefully stacking them and then filling the chinks with leaves. We didn’t know how to plan and execute a door, so we left a hole in the top to enter like a hatch on a submarine. The finished building was no more than 4 feet by 4 feet – only two of us could fit at a time. But you know what? Three kids built a log cabin, and we were damn proud. Today, I’m still a passionate leader, builder, collaborator, and problem solver with 20 years of experience in marketing and communications. My super power is leading at key inflection points – times of strategic shifts, new leadership, or aspirations for growth. I work collaboratively to assess the organization’s needs, develop marketing and communications strategies, design processes, implement systems, and build high-functioning, excited teams that drive consistent impact.Approaching my work with cultural humility, curiosity, and rigor – I organize colleagues and partners around a shared vision. I’m particularly adept at leading distributed teams, both global and domestic, to articulate an organization’s impact in beautiful and unique ways for donors, stakeholders, partners, and community members. I’ve worked on behalf of students and teachers across the US, mothers and infants in East Africa, readers in more than 100 countries, and the beautiful but fragile natural spaces of California.If your organization needs a marketing and communications function that drives impact, let’s talk. But if you need a log cabin, I have a list of contractors who can build one with a real door. #ChiefCommunicationsOfficer #CCO #ChiefMarketingOfficer #CMCO #MarketingAndCommunications #VPCommunications #IntegratedMarketing #MarketingStrategy #CommunicationsStrategy #StrategicCommunications #DonorCommunications #BrandStrategy #Branding #DigitalMarketing #MediaEngagement #NonprofitCommunications #GlobalMarketing #GlobalCommunications #Leadership #Education #GlobalHealth #Technology #Environment #LandConservation #Arts #InternationalDevelopment
