As the Founder and CEO of Creatorland, I am on a mission to create the first professional networking platform for the $100 billion creator economy. Creatorland is for content creators, talent managers, casting agents, influencer marketers, brand marketers, agency owners, and everyone who makes the content economy possible but doesn't have a central ecosystem to network. With over 10 years working creators, I have gained valuable insights into the needs and challenges of creators and industry professionals, and how to leverage product, education, and data-based insights to empower them.
Before Creatorland, I was the Founder and CEO of Heartbeat, the marketplace for connecting real consumers with brands that desire scalable influencer-style campaigns on TikTok and Instagram. With over six years of experience in leading and growing Heartbeat, I pioneered the concept of nano-influencers and created a platform that fosters communities of consumer advocates, generates invaluable data, and offers trackable creator-marketing solutions. I am also a serial entrepreneur, a guest lecturer at USC Annenberg, an investor and advisor at No Cap Sports, an official member of Forbes Agency Council, a contributor at Adweek, and a Techstars LA alum. I am passionate about all things web3, technology, creators, entrepreneurship, and emerging trends, and I love helping other founders however I can.
