I turn startup visions into brands people love. Working alongside founders, investors, and CEOs from first idea to market success, I help early-stage companies discover what makes them different and build identities that drive real business growth.
My experience includes global marketing at Apple and serving as CMO at high-growth startups across fintech, AI, and consumer brands. At Pixie, we focus on helping early-stage companies build clear GTM plans, compelling storytelling, and strategic brand development that scales.
Whether it's defining your purpose, building your go-to-market strategy, or developing creative that converts, I help emerging companies compete with industry leaders and achieve significant growth. 
15 years of experience in strategy, branding, customer growth, and integrated marketing. I’ve held senior leadership roles on the agency, publisher, and brand side; including COLLINS, Mother, VICE Media, Gemini Trust, Ogilvy & Mather, The Onion, and others.
My previous clients include everything from startups to Fortune 50 brands, including: A24, Target, Yahoo, Netflix, Glossier, American Express, LG, Diageo, Reebok, Burger King, and the State of New York.
As a marketer, I have built high-performing growth marketing teams from scratch, led global integrated advertising campaigns, and worked with some of the most innovative and creative leaders in the world.
My work has been recognized by The Cannes Lions, The One Show, ADC, Effies, Jay Chiat, & OMMA; and has been featured in the New York Times, WSJ, VICE, Rolling Stone, WWD, Bloomberg, Entertainment Weekly, and various trade publications.
