Director of Marketing

Thunder Industries

Head of marketing and sales development, orchestrating a full demand generation program.

My content marketing and SEO program have been shockingly successful, resulting in the total dominance of all key search results for terms in our category.

I have implemented a successful, repeatable process for generating leads—both inbound and outbound—getting them sales ready, and connecting them with salespeople to ultimately become a customer.

As a growth marketer at a startup in a competitive mar-tech space, I have achieved phenomenal results with very little resources and team members. Doing a lot with a little is something I'm very good at.

See my job at Thunder prior to this promotion for some idea of what I'm up to.

Associate Director of Marketing

✓ Go-To-Market Strategy
Driving the go-to-market strategy for new products to double multi-million dollar revenues last year.

✓ Product Strategy
Working daily to align product managers and developers as we translate what we know about the customers and market into a ground-breaking offering, including digital product design, feature prioritization, UX problem-solving, and interface copywriting.

✓ Management & Mentorship
Forging cross-team collaboration across the organization, but also working with multiple mentees and direct reports to elevate their skills, careers and overall satisfaction with life.

✓ Sales Enablement
Equipping the sales team with the training, materials, and resources needed to successfully convince and convert their prospects, including collaborating on the sales pitch and deck, refining positioning based on market feedback, and determining how to handle objections.

✓ Content Strategy & SEO
Enabling customer success and prospect interest through high-value content creation and distribution, adding 5,000 page views each month in a niche category and putting us on the map as a thought leader in the space: eBooks, whitepapers, videos, infographics, articles and decks.

✓ Email Marketing
Distributing content to thousands of contacts with open rates that are consistently 33-46% (double the industry average) and click rates are as high as 9.1%.


✾ Personal Growth ✾
At Thunder I've learned that I'm energized by working across the company to build not only a great go-to-market strategy, but also a company culture where people can do their best work. 

About:

Senior Product Marketing Manager

Flite

Generated 22-25% of sales opportunities each quarter through inbound marketing and lead nurturing.

✓ Significant Revenue Impact
Drove marketing effectiveness to help double revenues (in the millions) each year.

✓ Content Marketing
We drove our lead generation with content, and I was the primary producer, contributing a drum beat of 1-3 blog posts each week, and an eBook and video each quarter.

✓ Thought Leadership
Authored 5 eBooks on very niche topics in digital advertising to elevate perceptions of the company. In total they have been downloaded several thousand times and influenced every Flite customer's decision to sign.

Contributed countless decks, one-pagers and professional videos to assist Fortune 500 partners in advertising sales—a key factor in our revenue growth.

✓ Events
Planned and launched the first Flite Customer Summit, and then more-than-doubled attendance each subsequent year.


✾ Personal Growth ✾
At Flite I was put on incredibly challenging projects and leveled up my marketing skills to be promoted three times. I learned that bigger challenges only make me rise faster. Working in concert with the sales, marketing and product teams, I went from novice to expert in B2B marketing, content strategy, marketing automation, event planning and email nurturing.

Social & Digital Media Manager

ProCare Inc

✓ Coordinated services for 51 clients with 7 case managers at a life-or-death level of detail every day.

✾ Personal Growth ✾

About:

Case Aide

Elephant Pharmacy

✓ Managed three departments and 28 cashiers at a natural drugstore (similar to Whole Foods) that did over $5 million in transactions every year.

✓ Promoted four times in four years. Started as a photo lab tech, ended as assistant store manager (4th highest position at the store). 

✾ Personal Growth ✾
I learned what separates leaders from managers, and how to use confidence, charisma and empathy to get the most of out every team member. As I advanced, I became an expert in retail strategy, and learned customer service in my bones. That, and I learned that I love helping build and grow new ventures.

About Elephant Pharm:
Elephant is a natural drugstore startup—trying to be a Whole Foods-style wellness store. You walk into Walgreens and you actually feel worse. You walk into Elephant and you feel better. Despite its best effort, the startup failed in 2009.

Front End Supervisor

Most creators, coaches, consultants, and solo business owners know AI is powerful — but they’re trying to learn it by wading through hype, half-truths, and overly technical tutorials built for engineers, not entrepreneurs.

And that's a problem because those flashy demos and one-size-fits-all prompts ignore what actually matters: practical, repeatable business outcomes. They don’t teach you how to think with AI... they just throw more tools at you.

Because of that, people end up feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or worse: they waste hours tinkering without anything meaningful to show for it. AI becomes another shiny object instead of the time-saving, clarity-creating tool it could be.

Which means you stay stuck in the loop of knowing AI should help your business, but not knowing how to make it stick, missing out on the dozens of small daily wins that could actually move the needle.

On the other hand, what I do is cut through the noise and show you exactly how to use AI in ways that fit your business, your brain, and your bandwidth.

I give you high-leverage prompts, real frameworks, and live walkthroughs that make it easy to start using AI — not just understanding it — whether that’s creating content, refining offers, or automating tasks...

So that you build AI into your actual workflow in small but mighty ways that save time, spark clarity, and support the work you’re already doing — not add more complexity to it.

As a result, you become the kind of business owner or operator who’s not just keeping up with AI — you’re benefiting from it. Quietly outpacing others not with gimmicks, but with smarter systems, clearer messaging, and more momentum — powered by real-world AI you can actually trust to help with your most important work.
