Global Account Manager (Inbound Programs)

Director of Marketing & Community @Antler Canada • Content Creator [43K on YouTube]

• I operate with a challenger mindset—organizations and leaders bring me in when they’re ready to shake things up and drive forward. 

• Proudest achievement: In my first year at FCTG, I helped deliver consecutive personal bests across 2 brands, contributing over 60% of the sales pipeline through strategic, multi-channel marketing efforts. This got me the Corporate Digital Marketer of the Year Award. 

• I’m equally comfortable navigating large organizations and managing complex stakeholder relationships, while also leveraging an entrepreneurial, startup mindset to move fast and experiment boldly. I thrive in environments that demand agility and new ideas.

• My experience spans B2B product and service businesses at various scales, VC and creator businesses, which gives me a broad perspective and allows me to execute integrated, full-funnel marketing strategies with ease.

• Passionate about behavioral science, I’m fascinated by why people make the decisions they do. In another life, I’d have studied psychology alongside marketing, drawing connections between the two fields.

• I’m driven by helping aspiring and junior marketers grow. I’ve supported hundreds in their careers, adopting a supportive, growth-oriented management style focused on fostering autonomy and mastery.

• Marketing is my passion—it’s something I think about even when I’m not working. My colleagues and collaborators associate me with bringing new ideas to the table and pushing boundaries in the space.

I run the only marketing and career channel on YouTube for aspiring and young marketers and reach 51K+ people. I partner with brands I once dreamt of working for as a junior marketer to create content campaigns that drive results for their brand.
