GTM Solutions Architect for B2B SaaS

Defined by adaptability, integrity, and curiosity, I approach problems with a strategic mindset that drives meaningful results.As a seasoned marketing leader, I transform go-to-market strategies by fostering collaboration, leveraging AI-powered solutions, and equipping teams with actionable data insights. My ability to simplify complex processes and technology has consistently enabled double-digit revenue growth and competitive advantages at private equity and VC-backed B2B SaaS organizations.

After more than a decade in B2B marketing, CRM, and email marketing (yep, I’ve seen it all), I launched EMMIE (aka the Avengers of marketing + sales ops.) We’re a handpicked team of A-list consultants and boutique firms ready to take on your most challenging ops hurdles with a mix of top-notch skills and a solid sense of humor.

I’m a Marketo Champion, Marketo Certified Expert, and Salesforce Certified Admin, so I know my way around the tech stack maze. Whether it’s database wizardry, syncing MAP-CRM-Data Warehouse, surviving GDPR compliance, or any other sticky tech problem, EMMIE has the chops and bandwidth to handle it. 

Shoot me a DM if you’re ready to level up with a team that’s as friendly as it is fierce.

Forget badge scans.
Who wants us to bring BUSINESS/CASUAL “notworking” to your city this year?

In 2024, EMMIE Collective ran a little experiment.

We skipped the conference rooms.

We went straight to the only part people talk about later: the parties.

We called them BUSINESS/CASUAL NOTworking events, not networking events (GET IT)

We hit:
Cleveland
New York
Denver
Portland
Raleigh

No sponsored keynotes.

Just:
Marketing and RevOps peeps
Good vibes
Real talk about tools, teams, and trash TV

On a couch. At a bar. On a patio.
Not under fluorescent lights at 8:00 a.m. with stale pastries.

In 2026, we want to bring BUSINESS/CASUAL back.

Plan right now:
One East Coast city
One West Coast city
One wild card?!

I want them PACKED with people absolutely sick of trying to explain what they do for a living.

Here is what I need from you:

Drop your city in the comments.
Where should we land next?

CEO @ EMMIE | SFDC certified | 2x Marketo Champion | cohost @ Pretty Funny Business

I made sure to ease into the week back with a light work schedule, but somehow still should have lowered the bar for myself.

Ts & Ps to all parents getting back into it this week after a two week “break.”

Great memories made, they’re only little once, etc etc etc.

But definitely need a vacation from my vacation. 

Anyone else?
