Brand Marketing & Strategy Consultant

Brand Marketing executive with 20 years of experience across multiple industries: Consumer Packaged Goods, Ski & Travel/Tourism & Hospitality, Retail, Aviation/Airlines, with significant experience on the client side, as well as additional on the agency side.
My passion and primary expertise is with Brand Strategy, Brand Building, and Team Leadership, with strong supplemental experience related to Marketing Operations and Go-To-Market, Content Marketing and Category Management.
If you're looking to take a deeper look at your brand, its positioning, architecture and vision forward in order to best set it up for the future, I can help. I've stepped away from the daily corporate grind to pursue a more balanced life, and I still have plenty to give from my experience and background.
I've been fortunate to have seen many things across several very different companies, industries, and brands, and that diverse background of experiences gives me deep perspective in my approach.
Bonus: While everything above is true - I would also be open to additional fields that require much less experience, too. This is about generating side income with more control over work/life balance, not about climbing for a resume.More...
