Trestle Solutions Inc.

I build trestles that get Marketing programs from “here” (strong regional player) to “there” (ready to compete on the national stage).

Using a framework that makes Marketing transformation PREDICTABLE and FASTER, I will create a change vision + structure + execute with you or on a project basis, for you.

You’re a CMO or VP Marketing in a $20-$500 million company that’s unifying after long-term growth, starting EOS, or consolidating post-merger or acquisition who realizes that fractional, expert support will accelerate change - it can't be done off the "side of your desk."

Or a CEO who’s activating change and needs an interim Marketing leader to light the fire during an extended search for the right permanent resource. (I’ll onboard them too!)

Transformation is chaotic (IYKYK 😉).

And having the path, the plan, and a Marketing transformation expert at your side accelerates change and gets you to results faster. Companies with trestles:

🚀 Smashed an all-time monthly leads record within 10 months.

🚀 Untangled a 25-brand portfolio into a powerful unified brand that changes lives. (And saved $120K in annual regional media costs.)

🚀 Built a digital customer journey that became the template for all countries in the global model and teed up 25% more leads (and counting) from existing buyers.

🚀 Optimized their sales enablement touchpoints and tools, bringing Marketing and Sales together for the first time, and pivoting to a “shared responsibility for leads” mindset.

🚀 Uplevelled people, processes, and vendor partners, creating a Marketing infrastructure that can scale with growth. (And they posted 20% YOY last fiscal.)

Fractional CMO and Marketing Transformation Consultant I Founder & CEO

WSAudiology

During an extended search for a permanent Marketing leader, the CEO brought me in to oversee their large-scale rebrand project execution (US + global stakeholders, consolidate 36 brands to 1) and realign the team. Spearheaded evolution of the legacy Marketing program into the lead engine they needed to fuel significant growth plans. I also onboarded the new Marketing executive and ensured a smooth hand-off to that permanent role.

Brand strategy, traditional + digital media, client journey, acquisition & greenfield (new build) centres growth plans, call centre inbound & outbound lead generation.

Vice President of Marketing

I joined shortly after Connect Hearing was acquired by Sonova. Immediately executed a national rebrand (consolidating 23 brands into 1) along with a culture plan that unified disparate teams across the country. Transitioned from Operations “order-takers” to a professional Marketing team with an integrated IMC plan to effectively drive lead generation.

I help VPs of Marketing in midmarket companies scale up. That’s my core work.

Because let’s be real—scaling marketing isn’t just “more marketing.” It’s an evolution. Bigger markets, bigger teams, bigger expectations. And it all needs to happen while still delivering today’s results.

No one prepares you for this part. Not your MBA. Not your last role. Definitely not the playbook that worked when the company was smaller. Yet here you are, staring down aggressive growth goals, needing to level up your marketing function—fast.

That’s why I created 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲-𝗨𝗽 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆.

Think of it as your "Batphone" to me. A direct line to an expert who’s been where you are – getting Marketing ready for the big leap from regional to national.

✅ Monthly strategic boardroom sessions to map out what scaling means for your department 
✅ “Ask Me Anything” calls to tackle roadblocks in real-time 
✅ Proven playbooks & templates so you don’t have to start from scratch 
✅ A true sounding board—because big decisions shouldn’t be made in a vacuum

Scaling marketing doesn’t have to be a solo sport. If you need a Batphone, let’s talk.

But what if you’re not at the scaling stage yet? What if marketing isn’t bringing in buyers in the first place? I saw that gap too.

So I teamed up with two experts—each a specialist in their field—to build 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘀.

Mass marketing is dead. Leads ≠ Buyers. And if the wrong buyers keep showing up, no amount of marketing spend will fix it.

That’s why we created a 30-day accelerator that aligns marketing and sales to attract High Value Buyers—the ones who are ready to invest now.

If you’re a Founder or CEO of a high-touch B2C business ($10M-$20M revenue, 50-100 employees) and you’re tired of wasting money on marketing that isn’t helping you sell, let’s talk.

📩 DM me with “BATPHONE” if you’re scaling up Marketing to support ambitious company growth.

📩 DM me with “MTS” if you want to help your buyers to buy and your sellers to sell.
