I'm offering

A marketing leader, writer, and entrepreneur at heart, I thrive in the place where ideas come together with words to create excitement and action. I enjoy building and motivating teams and mentoring talent towards excellence, and have a great track record of building high-performing marketing functions from the ground up for exceptional, fast-growing companies.

In the past 20 years, I have led the global marketing and communications functions for multiple SaaS companies and venture-backed startups, leading growth efforts towards several successful exit events, major funding rounds, and periods of record growth. I gravitate towards companies who innovate, disrupt and create new categories. Basically I want to work in the future.

Most recently I served as global CMO of retail tech company SimpliField, where I led a complete strategic messaging, branding, and website overhaul for a Series A SaaS company headquartered in Paris, building a team to create a content-driven demand gen engine that drove record growth in sales and direct marketing-sourced pipeline globally -all in the midst of a pandemic.

Before that I served as VP of Marketing for Emissary, a Google Ventures-backed sales intelligence marketplace that connects salespeople directly to C-Suite execs of the companies they are selling to. Over a year and a half, I hired an entirely new and highly talented marketing team, completely overhauled the brand and website, launched a new technology platform, installed new marketing automation systems, and launched aggressive demand gen programs resulting in a 300% increase in client logos and revenue and a doubling of network size.

Prior to that, I served as VP of Marketing at AI startup Networked Insights (acquired by American Family), as well as Head of Product and Customer Marketing for Contently. During my time there, Contently was named the #100th Fastest-Growing Private Company in America by Inc. Magazine, 2015's Best Content Marketing Platform by Digiday, and one of Crain's 2015 Best Places to Work in NYC.

My background also includes stints leading the global marketing and demand gen functions for KnowledgeAdvisors (acquired by CEB) and International Survey Research (acquired by Willis Towers Watson).
