Pavilion

Following a year in which I served the Marketing and Member Success teams at Pavilion, I'm fortunate to now serve the Marketing and Growth teams, whose focus is on growing topline revenue. The departments within this team include marketing (brand, content, product marketing, demand gen, partnerships, events, and community) and sales (both B2B and B2C).

We do this by providing more than 10,000 members in 100+ countries with education, events and community all designed to help them level up their careers.

After 3 years as a Pavilion Member, Chapter Head and Ambassador, I joined Pavilion to serve the Marketing and Member Success teams.

Senior Vice President Marketing

Chief Marketing Officer

VP of Marketing

CannabizMD

The CannabizMD mission is to educate, build and engage a network of medical cannabis industry stakeholders, clinicians, industry influencers and patients to create an ecosystem advancing the needs of Maryland’s medical cannabis industry. I served as a Board-level advisor to the organization's founder.

Advisory Board Member

I spent the first part of my career working to make the world a better place by improving access to clean water and wastewater disposal in 50+ developing countries around the world. I loved my work as an international development consultant, but when it came time to start my family, I chose to settle in Annapolis Maryland and co-found a marketing agency with my husband.

We launched Quintain Marketing in 2006 and through our early partnership with HubSpot, grew it into a nationally-known digital marketing agency. We sold the business in 2017 to HubSpot's largest global partner and I began a new chapter in my career as a head of marketing (SVP, CMO) for high growth B2B tech companies looking to transition from start up to scale up.

Today, I serve the Marketing & Growth teams at Pavilion as part of our mission to help go-to-market leaders and their teams achieve and unlock their full professional potential. My scope includes the entire revenue organization, including marketing, media, events, partnerships, and both B2C and B2B sales. 

Outside of work, I am a Board-level advisor to several tech startups and have been named by USA Today as one of 6 Global Marketing Advisors Who Are Rising Stars, a frequent public speaker on topics relating to digital marketing, and a passionate advocate for entrepreneurs.

I've been named by TopRank as one of the 50 Top B2B Marketing Influencers, by Insightly and TrustRadius and GTM Partners as one of 30 GTM Gurus, and by Influence Digest as a Top 15 Marketing Expert in Washington, DC.

The B2B playbook is being rewritten, and I am SO here for it.

Budgets are tighter. Buyer journeys are longer. And AI is speeding everything up. We've all felt it.

The best marketers I know aren’t trying to shout louder - they’re building trust, credibility, and creativity into how they grow. Because in B2B, buyers don’t just choose the best product, they choose the brand they believe.

The proof point: 86% of buyers start with a “Day One” list of trusted brands and 92% purchase from that list.

That means that the job of marketing can't just be to generate leads (and let's be honest, it never should have been) - but rather to earn a place in the buying conversation before it begins.

What’s emerging from this isn’t just a new set of tactics, it’s an entirely new way of thinking about growth:

✅ Brand to build trust
✅ Credibility to drive influence
✅ Creativity to fuel impact

I’ll be joining Gina Kleiner of LinkedIn, Annie Dunleavy of Edelman, and Brendan Gahan of Creator Authority this Thursday at Advertising Week New York to explore how modern B2B marketers are adapting.

If you’re attending Advertising Week, come by the B2BMX Stage on Thursday, October 9th at 9:50 a.m. for "The New Blueprint for B2B Marketing Success" (link to the panel in the comments below).
