I lead digital investment strategies that strengthen brands and move the numbers that matter. Like a bounty hunter, I take on the toughest challenges, but my bounty is business growth — transformation, revenue, and retention. With 20+ years helping shape agency practice in digital media, I build high-performing teams and lead investment and strategy across channels. My commitment is to driving growth that is effective, efficient, and innovative.

EXPERIENCE

For 26 years, I’ve helped Fortune 100 brands and high-growth startups scale with marketing strategies that bridge digital excellence and full-funnel leadership. Along the way, I’ve led teams for some of the world’s most recognized companies — Disney, FedEx, Activision, McCormick, and the NFL — as well as advised startups and global executives on how to transform marketing for growth.

I build teams that scale. I’ve led 100+ across regions, forged global JBPs with Google, Meta, Pinterest, and The Trade Desk, and built digital operating systems that make marketing faster, smarter, and measurable.”

Highlights:

  • FedEx: 18 straight quarters of ROI growth; 34% CAGR

  • Payzer: +2,400% qualified leads; 2.5× valuation in <2 years (SaaS exit)

  • AOL: Audience modernization; Direct Brands: GTM pivot beyond CDs.

  • Audi & Audible (Amazon): Influencer strategy.

Along the way, I’ve been featured by CNN, Wired, and USA Today, and invited to speak at conferences and panels on digital innovation, brand strategy, and marketing transformation. At my core, I believe the future of marketing is about connecting performance with brand, data with strategy, and global teams with unified vision. I’m also ahead of the curve in exploring AI not just as a text tool, but as a powerful driver of efficiency, enabling teams to get more done with less.

 

What I Deliver:

  • Talent Development: Build and mentor high-performing teams, setting clear OKRs and pushing for measurable growth quarter after quarter.

  • Client Partnerships: Win trust quickly and deepen relationships through candor, transparency, and relentless focus on results.

  • Digital Growth: Design and execute campaigns across programmatic, social, and search to drive revenue, margin, and measurable business outcomes.

  • Operational Precision: Streamline processes and enforce best practices that keep teams efficient, and ready to deliver under pressure.

  • Industry Firepower: Leverage trusted partnerships with leaders at Apple, Google, Microsoft/LinkedIn, Meta/Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, Spotify, and The Trade Desk to unlock access, innovation, and early advantage.

  • Relentless Innovation: Spot what’s next before it scales — championing new tech and methods to keep everyone ahead of the curve.
