I am a veteran marketing & innovation leader with over a decade of experience building teams for start-ups and enterprises who are passionate about what they do and challenge themselves every day to think differently about the world. After all this time, I’m still an optimist who believes in a bright future and our
ability to build it together.
For the last several years, I’ve been focused on utilizing my time and expertise to bring enduring value to
organizations with a purpose, a mission, or a cause. I really enjoy consulting on and leading marketing strategy and delivery for companies that are in transition, ready for high growth, or are entering new markets.
Throughout my career, I have been able to work with some pretty incredible early-stage startups and
heavyweights like Amazon, AT&T, Bain, CarMax, General Motors, VISA, and HCA.
Additionally, I am a long-time
mentor at the Nashville Entrepreneur Center, where I guide early-stage B2B and B2C start-ups with seed,
round A, and round B funding.
When I’m not writing marketing strategies, analyzing customer and internal satisfaction programs, or negotiating with stakeholders on
transformative objectives, I am home in Nashville, over-analyzing my fantasy sports rosters and watching my favorite soccer (football) team, Manchester City.More...
