I'm a strategic marketing consultant who specializes in building automated marketing systems that scale.

My background spans corporate marketing leadership roles managing multimillion-dollar budgets, plus extensive Go-To-Market experience on startup teams where I've thrived in fast-paced, high-growth environments.

This unique combination gives me a perspective that most consultants lack – I understand both the strategic demands of corporate growth and the scrappy, innovative execution needed in startup environments.

As a HubSpot and Google Ads certified expert who has served as an advisor to both platforms during beta launches, I bring cutting-edge insights that come from being at the forefront of marketing technology evolution.

My passion for marketing drives me to constantly push the envelope exploring new strategies and testing innovative approaches that deliver breakthrough results.

With advanced academic credentials (Master's degree) and elite-level skills in both systems and content, I bring both strategic depth and exceptional execution capabilities.
