Having spent a good portion of my career living in Frankfurt, Germany, I am also fluent in the German language and culture.

As a seasoned marketer and director of growth, I’ve learned that caring, connection and consistency are the cornerstones of success in driving brand engagement and demand generation with integrated marketing programs and campaigns. I have supervised 25 employees as head of marketing, helped to increase sales 65% over 4 years (avg. YoY 13% CAGR) and am known for my love of analytics, process innovation, efficiency increases and leadership.

My mission is to help business leaders grow their companies with modern marketing driven by storytelling, a motivated team, process innovation, and a customer-led tech stack – all built on insights, big data and AI with a focus on today’s digitally empowered customer.
