Marketing technology executive with over two decades of experience, I architect enterprise-grade marketing ecosystems that fuel aggressive growth trajectories. My track record spans transforming marketing operations across billion-dollar enterprises, from healthcare (Memorial Sloan Kettering) to financial services (CIT Bank) to global law firms (Goodwin).

I specialize in the strategic inflection points that determine whether fast-growing companies scale successfully or stall: when marketing technology becomes an integral part of an organization's DNA rather than a departmental infrastructure. My expertise lies in building institutional knowledge and operational frameworks that endure leadership transitions, market downturns, and periods of explosive growth.

CMO and Marketing Ops alignment is critical. So many marketing ops influencers point out how this lack of alignment makes the marketing ops team feel under-appreciated and misunderstood. 

My good friends at Marketing Ops Community and Brilliant With AI are hosting a dinner series for a small, application-only group of CMOs and Marketing Ops leaders who want a real conversation about AI, not hype or vendor pitches. 

If you're in Boston (March 24th) or New York (March 26th), be sure to apply. 

Each dinner brings together 15 senior leaders for candid discussion on what's actually working (and what's not) in AI-enabled orgs. Led by Nish Patel (co-founder of Brilliant with AI) and hosted by MarketingOps.com, this is designed for contributors, not spectators. 

You're a fit if:
 - You're a CMO, VP/SVP Marketing, or Marketing/RevOps Leader
 - You've tried AI initiative's (successful or not)
 - You're ready to share honest experiences
 - You want peer insights, not vendor pitches

You're not a fit if:
 - You're looking for AI tool demos
 - You can't share due to "stealth mode".
 - You're not ready for honest conversations
 - You see this as a networking event

If you're a fit, apply for a seat and get ready to join the conversation.
