CMO at XtraMile

Most companies rush into marketing tactics without building the right foundation.

They focus solely on creating content, launching campaigns and chasing leads, believing that activity equals progress. But without clear positioning, cohesive messaging, or a strategic communication platform, these efforts rarely produce meaningful results.

I help companies build that foundation and connect it to a communication platform that ensures every touchpoint feels cohesive and intentional.

For over two decades, I’ve worked with companies like Dell, SuperOffice, and XtraMile, helping them align strategy with execution. 

At SuperOffice, this foundation-first approach united seven European subsidiaries and contributed to a $100M acquisition. At XtraMile, it’s helping us build a distinct voice in the learning automation space.

Whether it's creating clarity for mission-driven organizations, aligning teams for legacy brands or refining messaging for niche industries, I believe marketing isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about creating clarity, alignment, and trust. 

With the right foundation and communication platform, every initiative builds stronger customer relationships and drives sustainable growth.
