About

I help founders bring their brands to market, uncover where growth is hiding with established brands, and build marketing functions that scale.

I was born and raised in California and started my career in advertising. Over eight years on the agency side, I led marketing teams for clients ranging from enterprise companies to mid-market businesses and startups. Today, I work with founders who put product first and treat it as their main lever for growth. My passion is partnering with founders and investors to build a marketing function from scratch and set it up to succeed. I've spent most of my career in CPG, working with brands across the U.S.
