VP, Go-to-Market, Data

Senior Director, Data Practice

MightyHive

Running go-to-market and commercialization for several products and services in the MightyHive Data Practice portfolio including econometric measurement, advanced dashboarding, and a sprinkling of Cloud platform applications.

Senior Director, Data Practice (now part of Media.Monks)

Working within a lean marketing team and generally serving as "ad tech whisperer." That is to say, my hands-on tech background (i.e., writing code and building ad tech) meets my love of marketing and I get to turn nerdy, esoteric digital advertising concepts into pretty much anything you can think of, from sweeping brand narratives and PR strategy all the way down to sales decks and architecture diagrams. It's cross-functional and extremely fun.

Senior Director of Marketing

Director of Marketing

Canned Banners

Acquired by Thunder in 2017.

Co-founded Canned Banners in 2009 as a self-serve Flash ad builder. In 2013, I led the company's transition to a dynamic HTML5 ad platform. Designed, built, and iterated a creative platform that has since grown to serve hundreds of advertisers, track millions of products, and personalize display ads seen by hundreds of millions of shoppers.

CEO / Co-founder

Thomson Reuters

Global marketing for Thomson Reuters awards programs recognizing high performance and excellence in the investment world. The awards programs included the Lipper Fund Awards, StarMine Awards, and Extel Awards.

The awards recipients and audience spanned both the buy side and sell side. This included mutual funds & portfolio managers, brokerage firms & sell-side analysts, and investor relations professionals.

The awards covered roughly 40 global regions across North America, Europe, and Asia. Our ridiculously small team published tens of thousands of awards results and executed 26 annual awards ceremonies around the world. The awards ceremonies drew thousands of C-level, MD-level, and other senior investment professionals (including actual British royalty in one case!) in 23 global financial centers including New York, London, and Hong Kong.

Senior Marketing Manager

StarMine

Product marketing and marcomms for StarMine Professional. StarMine offered a suite of proprietary equity (stock) analytics, which could be consumed on a standalone basis via a web-based application or as batch inputs into clients' own quant models.

At StarMine, I developed and launched very high-touch, personalized marketing campaigns for StarMine's target audience of portfolio and fund managers.

StarMine was acquired by Thomson Reuters in 2008, at which point I transitioned into a new role. StarMine continues to live on as part of Thomson Reuters' market data products.

Marketing Communications Manager

Wells Fargo

Short-term contract position within Small Business Online Banking marketing group. Authored direct mail campaigns and web content targeted to Wells Fargo's vast customer and prospect base of small businesses. Also compiled business analytics and intelligence for team leads.

Consultant

Embarcadero Technologies

My first "real" job out of college. My role at Embarcadero touched nearly every marketing function at a $60MM / year B2B software company. I had to get good at multitasking fast. Managed print & web advertising, tradeshows & events, marketing collateral, web content, and branding.

I'll be at ANA Masters next week (Shiv Gupta too). Monday night dinner. BRANDS ONLY. DM me if interested. Expecting to have a really good discussion on AI.

If you're on the brand side and have colleagues attending, put me in touch! Yes, we want to talk about U of Digital training and enablement, but we also want to talk some shop and get a pulse on the industry, especially around AI.

Specifically: the ways AI is changing the consumer journey. More people are planning travel, managing their health, researching credit cards and financial products, finding the right car to buy...all using LLMs like ChatGPT and Gemini. How are those impacts being felt now and what will 2026 look like?

Another painting class last night. The painting itself didn't turn out very well, but the starting sketch was pretty cool. 🤷‍♂️

Can't win 'em all.

The project that launched a thousand consulting decks comes to an end.
