About

I have worked with large and small teams and organizations to foster innovation and growth through focusing on the connected experiences of products and their ecosystems. (That's long speak for making customers -- internally and externally -- more satisfied with what they have to do).

I have led and collaborated with a variety of cross-discipline teams, which included IT, business development, marketing and communications.

I am currently accepting new freelance projects, as well as open to larger opportunities.
