These roles keep me deeply connected to emerging technologies and the evolving growth landscape, enriching the perspective I bring to every company I help scale.

I bring a balance of strategic vision and operational rigor, ensuring marketing not only shapes the narrative but also drives measurable business impact in revenue not just pipeline.
