With 20+ years in product, digital, social media and brand marketing, and deep immersion in AI, I work as a fractional marketing lead and consultant to give you clarity and confidence in your marketing.

Let's Create Something Great

I partner with businesses to provide fractional marketing and leadership for long-term strategy and growth, and consulting expertise for specific, more immediate projects. Whether you’re looking to introduce a new product or service to the market, drive customer acquisition and retention, enhance customer experience or propel digital transformation, I will lead every step of the way – from research and strategy to implementation and measurement. With a strong focus on AI, I also equip businesses with the knowledge and tools to enhance market research and marketing strategies, unlock efficiencies and accelerate results.

​

My key areas of focus include:

  • Marketing, GTM and growth strategy

  • AI enablement, experimentation and innovation

  • Lead generation and revenue acceleration

  • Brand and integrated marketing

  • Digital transformation, including agile and lean startup practices

  • Sales enablement 

  • Customer experience optimization


Why work with me:

  • I work fast, get deeply immersed and operate as a true extension of the team – a builder focused on delivering results, with marketing as my superpower.

  • I’m highly engaged in AI, including GenAI and agentic AI, wielding insights and tools to enhance marketing efforts.

  • I’m a full-stack marketer with diverse experience across research, CX, product, social, digital, events, TV, print and brand. I see the big picture, connect the dots and dive deep when needed.

  • I understand how products get built and how they gain traction. I’ve led product marketing and I’ve been a product manager, blending agile practices, customer insights and technical aptitude.

  • I blend enterprise marketing experience and proven frameworks with startup agility — delivering scrappy experimentation and focused execution without big-agency budgets.

​

I’ve worked across insurance, financial services, technology, heavy industry and food & beverage, with experience spanning both B2C and B2B.​

Proven Impact

Launching the Allstate Mobile App

I led the go-to-market strategy for the Allstate mobile app, driving adoption to 17,500 monthly active users in year one (117% to target) with 80%+ customer satisfaction. Challenge: Allstate needed to modernize its digital customer experience. The company had a self-service portal, through which customers could manage their policies and make payments, but adoption was low and there was no mobile app. Solution: I had a leadership role for an executive mandate to build and launch the Allstate mobile app. I drove the go-to-market strategy, leading market research, positioning, messaging and multi-channel execution including email, social and content marketing. Outcome: We exceeded our target with 17,500 monthly active users in the first year, achieving strong customer satisfaction and a positive correlation between customer retention and self-service usage. Further, self-service adoption increased by a minimum of 50% YOY for four consecutive years.

Establishing Social Media as a Key Marketing Channel

I built a national social media program and content strategy, training and activating over 200 sales agents. Challenge: I was hired to establish social media as a key marketing channel. Allstate had flagship accounts on Facebook and LinkedIn, but they weren’t significant revenue drivers. More notably, Allstate’s local sales agents needed a digital presence within their communities to expand reach and generate leads. Social media wasn’t generating revenue, and local sales agents needed a digital presence in their communities. Solution: I developed and rolled out a comprehensive social media program with training, enablement tools and a new content marketing framework, driving cross-functional collaboration and senior leadership engagement. Outcome: I expanded brand reach by activating 200+ agents on social media, and grew the corporate audience by 125% over two years.

Leading with AI-Driven Marketing

AI is transforming marketing, creating new opportunities for efficiency, smarter decisions and growth. I help businesses harness these capabilities to increase efficiency, accelerate execution and stay ahead of the curve, experimenting while maintaining a disciplined, results-driven approach to marketing.

I'm focused at staying at the forefront of marketing and AI, here are some recent educational investments I've made:
