Strategic storyteller and publicist driving scalable marketing outcomes for Silicon Valley executives and brands. I craft category-defining narratives that have helped companies raise $1.5 billion in new investment

Every great company is actually a social movement.

Bring me a highly-technical founder with a muddy storyline, and I will deliver a movement leader with a sparkling new narrative that dominates headlines, and drives business results. 

I’m a media storyteller, community-builder, and thought partner to high-performing executives, investors and visionary founders. 

Together we activate audiences to tackle humanity’s most pressing challenges with ingenuity, passion and deep expertise.  

Everyone says they’re result-driven, but over the past decade I’ve consistently transformed high-growth technology founders into category leaders, launching more than 80 startups that have earned thousands of media features. 

Collectively my clients have raised more than $1.5 billion from the top venture capital funds and private equity groups. 

Leveraging my extensive network of investors, operators and media, I curate unforgettable events that lead to strategic relationships and unlock opportunities that propel my clients to the head of the line. 

I don’t win awards, but my clients do. 

Whether it's being recognized as a Fast Company Most Innovative Company, Central Banking Magazine’s Finnovator of the Year, or receiving the Core77 Design Sustainability Award, the founders I support stand out among their peers year after year.

After 14 years in the heart of Silicon Valley, I remain fired up about technologies that tackle humanity’s greatest challenges, including food security, global warming, and how the rise of artificial intelligence will impact small business owners, knowledge workers, creative professionals and educators.

When I’m not working you can find me coaching my son’s soccer team, nerding out about all things Arsenal Football Club, or exploring San Francisco’s bounty of mysterious nooks and crannies on two legs. 

I’m a lover of spicy food, black coffee and true crime documentaries. 

Lifetime learner.

I only work with clients I know I can help.

LoHi Athletic Club

I was brought on board at the outset of the pandemic for 1 main reason: help the club stay open. 

Before Covid the club had been on a steady growth path, but the initial lockdown spooked members even as restrictions eased- early days saw many cancellations. With an uncertain timeframe & changing landscape they knew they must act fast to ensure the club's survival.

The gym had a lot going for it: great location, personable staff, excellent equipment, basic brand standards, & a freshly updated website. Most importantly, they had an engaged community who valued the gym experience.  

The owners knew they needed social media & digital marketing to drive sales but no idea how to achieve that goal. 

Via a facilitated discovery session with the owners, distinct customer avatars were developed to understand the best customers they already had, & who they'd like to attract. 

We determined 3 simple success metrics - Steady organic IG growth, reduce member attrition, & sell more memberships via social media management, digital marketing, & newsletter creation.

We devised content that would attract & engage the target market. Collaborating with the web dev team, we ensured LoHi Athletic Club was visible and attractive where ideal clients spent time, provided value and social proof to engage prospects, & ensured CTA's throughout the funnel aligned with buy triggers.

Repositioned as a home-grown Equinox for LoHi, focused on safety & cleanliness while adapting to customer needs amidst changing regulations. Members who aligned with this mission retained memberships, & targeted ads brought in new members.

In short, we became a key component to the club's sales process & continued success.

Results: 
- 220+% increase in membership sales YOY
- 12% reduction in membership cancels from June-October 2020
- 214.31% ROAS All-Time. 
- Generated over $611,000 in revenue in 2020.
