What I Actually Do

With 20+ years building brands in health, wellness, and nutrition—and leading B2B and B2C marketing across diverse industries—I turn marketing chaos into strategic advantage.

Growth Strategy & ICP Architecture

The Problem

Most companies waste resources marketing to everyone instead of someone.

How I Solve It

I define razor-sharp ideal customer profiles and build growth strategies that compound over time.

The Outcome

Focused acquisition, higher LTV, and marketing that actually drives pipeline.

Direct Response & Funnel Design

The Problem

Beautiful brands that don't convert. Creative campaigns that don't close.

How I Solve It

I architect high-conversion funnels that blend persuasion psychology with performance data.

The Outcome

Measurable ROI, predictable customer acquisition, and scalable revenue systems.

AI & Automation Systems

The Problem

Teams drowning in manual work. AI implementations that solve nothing.

How I Solve It

I deploy AI as strategic leverage—automating workflows, enhancing decision-making, and scaling intelligence.

The Outcome

10x productivity gains, real-time insights, and competitive advantage through technology.

Analytics, Dashboards & Decision Infrastructure

The Problem

Data everywhere. Clarity nowhere. Decisions made on gut feel instead of evidence.

How I Solve It

I build founder-level dashboards that turn raw data into actionable intelligence.

The Outcome

Confidence in every decision, faster iteration cycles, and measurable accountability.

Brand + Performance Alignment

The Problem

Brand and performance teams operating in silos, optimizing for different goals.

How I Solve It

I align brand equity with performance marketing to create compounding growth systems.

The Outcome

Unified messaging, efficient spend, and marketing that builds long-term value.

Executive Advisory & Fractional Leadership

The Problem

Founders and executives need strategic guidance without full-time overhead.

How I Solve It

I embed as a fractional CMO—thinking like an executive, acting like an operator, building like a systems architect.

The Outcome

Strategic clarity, execution velocity, and a marketing engine that scales with the business.

Executive Portfolio

Outcomes over aesthetics. Every project tells a story of transformation, measurement, and strategic impact.

AI & Systems Leadership

AI is leverage. Automation is intelligence. Systems are competitive advantage. Here's how I separate signal from noise.

AI Strategy & Implementation

I don't chase AI trends—I deploy AI where it creates measurable leverage. From custom GPT workflows to automated decision systems, I build intelligence infrastructure that scales.

  • Custom ChatGPT-powered content workflows
  • Automated lead scoring with predictive analytics
  • AI-driven personalization engines

Automation & Intelligence Stack

Marketing automation that actually works. I design systems that eliminate manual work, improve accuracy, and free teams to focus on strategy instead of execution.

  • Multi-channel campaign automation
  • Data pipeline orchestration
  • Workflow optimization across marketing stack

Custom Dashboards & Integrations

Real-time visibility into what matters. I build decision dashboards that connect disparate systems and surface actionable insights—not vanity metrics.

  • Executive marketing intelligence dashboards
  • Revenue attribution modeling
  • Real-time performance monitoring

What Separates Me From the Rest

Tactical Marketers
Execute campaigns without strategic vision
I architect systems that compound over time
Tool Collectors
Adopt tech for tech's sake
I deploy tools that solve specific business problems
AI Tourists
Use AI for buzzword credibility
I implement AI for measurable ROI and competitive advantage

Fractional CMO Experience

I embed inside leadership teams as a fractional CMO—bringing executive-level strategic thinking with hands-on operational execution.

How I Operate

Think Like an Executive

I operate at the strategic level—defining growth priorities, aligning marketing with business objectives, and making decisions that compound over quarters, not just campaigns.

Act Like an Operator

Strategy without execution is just theory. I roll up my sleeves, build the systems, train the teams, and ensure plans become reality.

Build Like a Systems Architect

I don't create dependencies—I create infrastructure. Dashboards, workflows, and processes that work with or without me.

What I Bring to Leadership Teams

Strategic Planning & Roadmapping
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Executive Reporting & Board Communication
Team Leadership & Mentorship
Marketing Stack Selection & Optimization
Budget Planning & Resource Allocation

Ideal For

Growth-Stage Startups
Need senior marketing leadership but can't justify (or afford) a full-time CMO yet.
Mid-Market Companies
Have a marketing team but lack strategic direction, systems thinking, or executive oversight.
Founder-Led Businesses
Founder is wearing too many hats—needs a trusted partner to own marketing while they focus on product and vision.
