My Approach
As a former Chief Marketing Officer, I know what it's like to lead a team responsible for an organization's growth. As a writer, podcaster, and speaker, I know how to face the public, drive a message, and grow an audience.
My work has appeared at TED and in national publications including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Financial Times. My career spans the political, corporate, and non-profit sectors — and I tailor solutions to meet clients' unique needs.
