Work Background
Marketing
The North Group, IncMarketing
Apr. 2025Milford, Michigan, United StatesI joined The North Group to lead a new phase of strategic marketing growth, aligning brand development, demand generation, and thought leadership across key industries including healthcare, corporate services, and government. In this role, I’m building a scalable marketing foundation: developing account-based marketing (ABM) strategies, driving cross-functional collaboration, enhancing digital presence, and creating lead generation programs that directly support business development initiatives. My approach is rooted in the belief that marketing should do more than generate leads — it should build trust, create meaningful connections, and support the real-world missions of the industries we serve. I focus on creating marketing that educates, empowers, and strengthens relationships in highly specialized markets like healthcare and private client security. This opportunity has allowed me to expand my leadership impact — from shaping overall marketing strategy to launching initiatives that support sales enablement, executive positioning, and long-term brand growth.
