  • About

    I am first and foremost a problem solver. Challenges keep me learning, especially when the answers are elusive. I eagerly take things on with a combo of creativity and strategy. I build consensus by understanding the viewpoints at play and finding the common threads.

    My career path has wound through event and experiential marketing, graphic design, and digital marketing of all sorts. I’m a big fan of elegant solutions, compelling brand promises, and evolutionary thinking. When it comes to leadership, I try to empower those around me to excel and feel valued for their efforts.

      Jul 2022 - Present (4 years)
      Responsibilities focus on owning the front of the business funnel, high quality opportunity generation, management of the internal call center team, and leading organization-wide projects, and ensuring a top-quality customer solar experience. Direction duties also include management of projects, budgets, and processes to improve operational efficiency.

      Filing the top of the marketing funnel with consistent, high-quality lead volume is the sweet spot for my marketing efforts. This comes by combining data backed decision-making with human insights and collaboration to unify expectations and deliver results.

      Leadership of company-wide software launches and integration projects, including Pipedrive, ClickUp, Formidable, Aircall, Scoop Solar, and 3CX have also contributed to business growth and employee efficiency. Managing productive external partner relationships to extend the company’s abilities is another facet of leadership in this role.
