Chief Marketing Officer▪️Helping B2B Companies Build Cost-Effective Marketing Strategies for Revenue Growth

As an accomplished executive marketing leader and fractional Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) with years of corporate experience, I have helped drive revenue growth and brand awareness for B2B companies across various industries. I provide marketing strategy consulting and advisory services to small, middle-market, and private equity-backed portfolio companies, helping them achieve sustainable growth.

Since 2019, I have been working as a fractional CMO for multiple clients, developing and executing marketing strategies that create engines for lead generation and revenue growth. My expertise spans strategic marketing planning, digital transformation, multi-channel demand generation, account-based marketing (ABM), brand storytelling, and content marketing.

Prior to my current fractional CMO roles, I served as the Chief Marketing Officer at SunView Software, where I led a team that achieved a 620% increase in organic web traffic and secured the company's first-time ranking in The Forrester Wave Report for Enterprise Service Management. My extensive corporate experience includes senior marketing positions at Oracle Corporation and Siebel Systems, where I managed global teams and multi-million dollar budgets in the financial services, FinTech, and application software sectors.

My approach combines cutting-edge marketing technologies with data-driven insights to deliver measurable business impact. I excel in team leadership and cross-functional collaboration, consistently developing innovative marketing strategies that align with business objectives. 

I'm not just a marketing strategist but a growth catalyst for B2B companies, dedicated to helping businesses achieve sustainable growth through strategic, cost-effective, and measurable marketing initiatives.

The $24B influencer bubble isn't bursting, but the trust mechanics are changing.

As CMOs, we’ve spent the last decade chasing reach. But according to new research in Harvard Business Review, the metric we need to be obsessing over now is authenticity alignment.

The hard truth? Consumers don't trust "influencers" anymore. They trust expertise and connection. Authenticity not as a vague "vibe," but as a rigorous framework built on five non-negotiable dimensions:

- Expertise: Do they actually know what they are talking about?
- Connectedness: Is the engagement real or performative?
- Integrity: Are their values consistent over time?
- Originality: Are they creating or just copying?
- Transparency: Is the commercial motive clear?

When we prioritize reach over relevance, or hide the commercial nature of a partnership, we break this chain. 

The finding is clear: We must move our influencer strategies from transactional exchanges to transformational relationships.

If you're still briefing for "eyeballs" rather than "trust," you're likely eroding your brand equity.
