Marketing Strategist

CEO & Founder at Cribworks | Sales & Business Development | Go-To-Market Strategy | Passionate consultant & advisor helping businesses thrive

Over the last 15 years, I've helped commercial corporations, startups, and non-profits grow, foster new relationships, and crush their overall sales goals. 

From bringing whiteboard ideas to life to building a >$100M of new business, I've taken a very structured business development approach to growth. 

From my hands-on sales experience, working with both small and large companies, I learned a lot about what works and what doesn't. So in 2019, I started my own company. 

I believe building your business relies on a multitude of assets, both internally and externally focused. From your company differentiators to building account management plans, to strategic partnerships, to social selling, building you into a trusted advisor is where you should be. 

I've worked in marketing, business development, corporate strategy, and government affairs for several firms, including Signify (formerly Philips Lighting), Major League Rugby (MLR) franchise Old Glory DC, Royal Philips, Elbit Systems of America, Chenega Corporation and the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs within the United States Senate.

I also sit on the Board of Directors for the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) in Washington DC, a non-profit organization that collaborates with both government and private sector on national security infrastructure challenges. 

I'm an active member throughout the local rugby community, recently serving as President of the Washington Irish Rugby Football Clubs, and work with local youth rugby clubs throughout the area. Lastly, I'm also active in various organizations such as Association for United States Army (AUSA), USA Rugby, Smart Cities Group, and others. 

I hold a Bachelor of Arts from Bates College in Maine and certifications from Shipley University in business development and capture management.

Driven individual focused on:
- Sales & Business Development
- Sales Process Improvement
- Pursuit & Capture Strategy
- Go-To-Market Strategy
- Competitive Analysis
- Win Strategies & Gap Analysis
- Management Consulting

Looking forward to seeing colleagues, industry, and government partners next week at the Society of American Military Engineers Small Business Conference in Phoenix from November 18-21!

As a little teaser, we are going to discuss:

Going to be a fun panel! 

Details are below:
Panel Name: Building Trust: Balancing AI and Human Insight for Relationship-Driven Growth
Date: Wednesday, November 19, 1:30pm Local Time
Location: Room 127 - Phoenix Convention Center

Hope to see you at the conference and at our panel!

Today is Veterans Day. Take this day to reflect, honor, and remember that freedom is not free!

Today, we remember and honor all who have served or are actively serving. Thank you, veterans! 

A short history lesson, the holiday first got started in 1919 when then-President Woodrow Wilson wanted to recognize the soldiers from World War 1, calling the day "Armistice Day."

Then in 1954, President Eisenhower signed a decree establishing November 11th as "Veteran's Day" and recognizing veterans from all wars. And it's been that way ever since.
