About

A marketer who never stopped being a fan.

I've spent 20 years at the intersection of great products and the people who love them. At Disney+, I got to work on something I genuinely believed in — building the tools, stories, and experiences that kept millions of subscribers coming back.

That passion isn't performance. It's how I approach every brand I work on. I care about what we're building, who it's for, and whether it actually lands — not just whether the deck looks good.

I'm based in Los Angeles and looking for my next chapter somewhere that takes product marketing seriously and wants a leader who owns the full picture: strategy, execution, and the AI infrastructure that makes it all run faster.

What I do

The full stack of
product marketing.

01
Strategy that moves products forward

From competitive intelligence and audience segmentation to brand positioning and product roadmap influence — I build the strategic foundation that makes launches land and products grow. I don't just contribute to the strategy deck. I own it.

02
Campaigns that actually convert

I own the full 360 — creative briefs, agency direction, paid media, lifecycle email, CTV, owned social, and in-product placements. Not just oversight. The actual campaign architecture, from first brief to final measurement.

03
AI workflows that scale teams

I've built prompt libraries, workflow SOPs, and team playbooks using ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot — enabling teams to run significantly more workstreams simultaneously while producing sharper, faster strategic output.

AI Practice

AI isn't replacing marketers.
It's separating the ones
who get it.

I built a team-wide AI workflow system from scratch — prompt libraries, workflow SOPs, tool-specific playbooks, governance frameworks, and hands-on training across ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot. The goal was never just to use AI. It was to build the infrastructure that makes AI actually useful, repeatable, and on-brand at scale.

Let's build something
together.

I'm open to Director and VP-level product marketing roles, advisory conversations, and interesting collaborations. If you're building something that needs a seasoned marketing leader — or you just want to trade notes on where AI and marketing are headed — I'd love to hear from you.
