About me

I'm a digitally savvy, business development and marketing executive with significant experience building teams, creating new products and delivering results for my colleagues and clients.


I excel and thrive in "uncharted territory" and have always reinvented or created my job. I have even been called a "pioneer" for quickly recognizing the potential of the Internet as a powerful marketing channel for brands and entertainment companies.


I worked for Prodigy and helped launch the service on the Internet.


I worked for Microsoft and produced original content and delivered revenue from brands that had never previously purchased digital advertising.


I was part of the Expedia team that successfully executed an IPO from Microsoft to become an independent public company.


I built a successful research and consulting practice within Creative Artists Agency and have become a recognized expert on millennial and Gen Z consumers.


Im a dynamic public speaker and have had the honor of sharing my point of view around the world at events that range from The Future of Storytelling, Google's Think Retail conference and CES to the Milken Conference and Marketo's global sales conference. I write and comment on consumer marketing strategies for publications such as Advertising Age, The New York Times, Forbes, and the Wall Street Journal.


I'm a catalyst in an organization and bring tremendous creativity, ideas and the proven ability to create and execute global marketing and business development programs.


Currently I am passionate about translating the complexities of data-driven marketing to inspire our clients about the creative potential for modern consumer engagement.
