I’m an integrated marketing practitioner and thought leader living at the intersection of global urban culture, creativity and nerdcore entertainment. I specialize in co-creating brands with the communities that love them; having led marketing for global entertainment icons such as League of Legends, Rock Band, Dance Central, Fortnite, Unreal Engine and most recently the smash billion-dollar hit VALORANT. VALORANT pushed the boundaries with an ‘unapologetically global’ approach that denied the Western gaze its supremacy, building strong local audiences worldwide through bold hyper-local authenticity.I achieve business results that add millions to the bottom line through cultivating tight strategies, excellent leaders and great teams; and I’m able to steward marketing approaches as diverse as Comms, Brand, Performance, Content, Creative, Influencer, Community, & Product Marketing into highly effective integrated experiences with global resonance.In my seventeen-year career, I have held senior marketing leadership positions with companies such as Rockstar Games, Epic Games, Harmonix Music Systems, and Riot Games; as well as advising an eclectic mix of startups in the tech, music, arts, and culture spaces. I’ve led teams as small as 4 and as large as 100.A graduate of UCLA Anderson School of Management, Wesleyan University and Johnson Projects in East Harlem, NYC; I love to shoot the shit on philosophy, hip-hop, sci-fi, and tacos. I’m interested in meeting authentic creators at all scales across the spectrum of arts and entertainment, for all kinds of chats. Let’s get some coffee or tacos together.I’m nomadic – you can generally find me on the West Coast in the winter, the East Coast in the fall, and Europe in the summer.
