Blending my artistic background with my interest in corporate strategy, I leverage business principles and sound design as the backdrop for leading digital transformation, campaigns, and product launches that elevate the connection with our customers, and ultimately, positive outcomes for the company. There is responsibility in stewarding a world-class brand, and it's one I take on with respect. Working alongside leadership, product development, sales, and channel distribution teams, I enjoy the collaborative process, the passion for the outdoor lifestyle, and the commitment to innovation. Understanding the totality of the business landscape has always been important to me and has made me a better marketer. From concept, budget, and development to logistics, execution, and analysis, I can glean the necessary information that informs and inspires our audiences ― enthusiasts, dealers, and internal stakeholders. I lead authentically with accountability and invest in listening within the Benelli digital ecosphere. There, I glimpse consumer's conversations, hear about our products, and much more. As a brand marketer, I am grateful for such access and the ability to ensure our brand values align with the voice of our customers.
