⚡The next evolution of Gated is here! ⚡

I'm an entrepreneur and full-stack marketing executive with a passion for products that make a difference in peoples' lives and a talent for creating clarity from chaos. I believe deeply in finding your focus and taking big swings.  That's why:

- I'm Cofounder of Wednesday Women: a movement that amplifies extraordinary women leaders *everyone* should know and be inspired by. ...  And an Exec Membership that supports those same amazing women.   
- I advise a select portfolio of businesses with my expertise in growth-stage marketing strategy, leadership, and execution.  I love ideating about new solutions and helping entrepreneurs find product-market fit.
- I've spent the last 5 years leading beloved startups:  Matcha (CEO) - a community-focused matching technology and Gated (CMO &amp; Founder) - $3M-raised SaaS startup in the email space. 
- I'm a passionate advocate for fast, frictionless user experiences. Over 14 years at Google, I worked with Fortune 500 Travel companies to build effective cross-channel marketing strategy and create amazing user experiences.  
- I'm a major advocate of remote work and the benefits it brings for mental health, families, and the earth. 

When I'm not working, you'll find me busy working on my most important, fun, and ongoing project - my family. I am an avid fan of the outdoors, reading, and travel.  Bonus conversation starters:  Travel , good books, Taskmaster, The Killers, Modern Stoicism, Mitch Hedberg, and F1.
