About

I built Response from the ground up—scaling it into a high-impact, 45-person growth engine. Year over year, I’ve driven 2–3x annual growth, leading marketing transformation for 200+ companies across 90+ markets, including Fortune 500 brands. My leadership spans every layer of the business—from strategic vision to technical execution, talent acquisition to P&L ownership, and client partnerships to public storytelling. I’ve been hands-on in shaping Response’s presence on the global stage—through thought leadership, media relations, and international events. What drives me: Growth at scale—powered by data, creativity, and AI. Talent-first leadership—building teams that thrive on ownership, agility, and ambition. Full-spectrum oversight—from web analytics to AI automation, from media strategy to boardroom strategy. Global fluency—working across cultures, industries, and verticals with nuance and adaptability. Beyond business, I’m passionate about mentorship and investment. I guide young founders and students as they navigate early-stage growth, and I back ventures that push categories forward—with capital, strategy, and belief. These journeys have shaped me into a globally minded, impact-driven operator—focused on building what’s next, not maintaining what’s safe.
