Director Global Marketing | Integrated Marketing
My responsibilities include Strategic Planning, Brand Development, Advertising, Market Research, PR direction, Digital traffic growth and Inside Sales initiatives. My scope is global as I drive new product initiatives within a worldwide SBU/franchise team. I transfer classical brand strategy and departmental structure from CPG background/training and apply them to B-to-B Medical Devices. By connecting with people and clarifying accountability around the business, I have driven the passion necessary to outperform categories, often in spite of a dominant share position.I have upgraded Brand talent to the classical level and mentored key contributors to expand their focus within a 30 person Marketing team. Working cross functionally, I have integrated a 70 person Inside Sales team to better understand the Marketing objectives and thus drive a symbiotic relationship between Sales and Marketing, a rarity in business models today.
