With over 20 years of experience in marketing, merchandising, UX, and e-commerce, I’m a growth-focused leader passionate about building brands, scaling teams, and creating customer experiences that drive results. I recently co-founded Boundless Digital, where I offer fractional CMO services to companies with great products that need sharper strategy and execution to grow faster and smarter. From performance marketing to product innovation, I bring cross-functional alignment and a proven track record of delivering measurable impact. Across my career—from eBags to Naked Wines and Gardyn—I’ve led high-performing teams, built data-driven strategies across digital and retail channels, and consistently exceeded revenue and profitability goals. My core strengths include eCommerce, UX, Paid and Organic Media strategy, and conversion optimization—all centered around a deep understanding of the customer. At the core, my mission is simple: connect people with products and experiences that improve their lives.
