Growth & Content Marketing

I lead and build growth programs where content does the heavy lifting. Over 8+ years I've set strategy, built creative teams, and run brand, SEO/GEO, ABM, and demand generation systems measured against pipeline. I design marketing systems that adapt as channels, tools, and requirements change.

A Bit More About Me

I've spent my career growing B2B and B2C companies across software, technology, and e-commerce, and I've learned how to help a business build strong growth systems that sit at its core. Along the way I've led the creative teams, agency partners, and reporting behind each program, and managed paid Meta teams, so I know how content and paid work together.

I care a lot about measurement. Proper tracking and attribution come first, because you can't improve what you can't see. I report on the numbers every month so the team knows how each piece of content and each channel is performing, and where to put the next dollar and hour.

My background is in film production, which is where I learned to run a team to a deadline and hold a high bar for craft. I studied New Media & Film at Westmont College, worked as an assistant director on films that screened at 50+ festivals, and now live in New York.

Leaders I'm inspired by Tom Orbach, Elena Verna, and Kieran Flanagan.
