I’m a strategic communications, marketing and content leader with 20+ years of experience shaping enterprise marketing and communications, integrated campaigns and omnichannel customer experiences. My leadership style is grounded in collaboration, fluent in digital and obsessed with the intersection of content, culture, commerce and performance.
I have built my career by diversifying, where my work spans retail, healthcare, government, media and corporate environments.
