I bring with me 20 years of marketing experience working with thousands of companies from small startup to multi-billion dollar enterprises. I engage, educate, and inspire through storytelling, case studies, and entertainment–nobody falls asleep during my presentations. I empathize and connect with my audiences because I’ve held almost every role within a marketing team including brand strategist, web designer, coder, creative director, copywriter, editor, and account manager–I know what it’s like to be part of a marketing team, and to lead them, and when I speak to teams I speak from a position of knowing the challenges they face and the importance of the work they do. I know how to coach teams through the creative process of coming up with effective strategies, and then give them the practical tools they need to make their vision reality.
