Executive Advisor | Board Member | Former Google Managing Director & Agency Executive | Global Marketing Strategist | Driving Scalable Agency & MarTech Success
I help Agencies and MarTech companies bridge the gap between innovation and massive-scale execution. With 30 years of experience—including 14 years in leadership at Google and executive roles at Omnicom (Resolution Media), Chicago Tribune Interactive and Nokia—I provide the strategic blueprint for firms looking to accelerate revenue and navigate the shift into an AI-driven marketing landscape. I sit at the intersection of Big Tech platforms, global agency holding companies, and high-growth startups. My focus is on turning complex market shifts into actionable growth engines. How I Add Value as an Advisor & Board Member: - Platform & Ecosystem Mastery: Leveraging an insider’s understanding of Google Ads, YouTube, and GMP to optimize multi-billion dollar revenue streams. - Agency Growth & GTM Strategy: Drawing on my experience leading a 100-person team at Google that consulted for all major global holding companies and the largest US independents. - Operational Scaling: Guiding organizations from start-ups to large global enterprises, having worked across New York, Hong Kong, Frankfurt, and Chicago. - AI Readiness: Helping firms move beyond the hype to integrate AI into their product development, sales operations, and client service models. Current & Past Impact: I am currently advising scaling leaders such as Guideline, InfoTrust, and Channel Factory. My track record includes driving 15%+ YoY growth across multi-billion dollar portfolios and holding leadership roles at Google, Omnicom, Navteq, Chicago Tribune Interactive, and Shure. Let’s Connect: If you are looking for an advisor or board member to help your organization scale, navigate platform complexity, or redefine its GTM strategy in a shifting media world, let’s talk.
