My focus and passion is on helping brands embrace emerging marketing strategies, including influencer, social, content marketing and beyond. I also love variety and new challenges, translating into an 18+ year career with a bit of everything. I’ve been lucky enough to be part of a startup who thrived (successful exit via acquisition), and two we'll call "learning experiences". I've driven influencer and product marketing at one of the world’s largest software brands. Led strategy, account, and business development for speciality agencies out on front of the social media and content marketing waves. Somewhere in there I got the non-profit bug and ran marketing for a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation-funded social enterprise serving the public library community. My current role involves leading the strategy team and select accounts for Pace - a 300+ staff agency with 5 offices that was recently named the Content Marketing Agency of the Year.
