I am a global brand strategist with a passion for building powerful, well-loved brands. I bring over two decades of consumer and professional marketing experience with industry-leading companies across the CPG, Medical Device, and MedTech sectors, with a successful track record leading strategy development, branding, market research, product innovation, and omni-channel campaigns for $100M+ brands to $1B+ portfolios on a national and global scale. My career journey has led me to the formation of my own strategic marketing consultancy, Walker Branding, leveraging my expertise in brand, portfolio, and innovation strategy in partnering with companies to create winning business plans that build brands, delight consumers, and maximize long-term organizational growth.Born and raised in Texas, I inherited both a pioneering spirit and warm southern hospitality that have formed my personal style. A lifetime of team sports has taught me the value of teamwork, the shared camaraderie of working together toward a common goal, and celebrating winning together. While my early career years were focused in the US market (as a CPG marketer at Pepsico), I’ve spent the last decade working and traveling in an international capacity as a global marketing leader, which has afforded me a rich understanding and appreciation of diverse cultural perspectives and work styles. I am recognized as an inspirational leader and strong collaborator with both high IQ and EQ, who motivates teams through positivity and infectious optimism to perform at their full potential to deliver business goals. I have also demonstrated resilience and success in championing large, complex change management initiatives to accelerate company growth and build corporate culture. I find great fulfillment in leveraging my talents to help aspiring organizations capitalize on new venture opportunities and business partners in meeting their business goals.
