🌊 Head of Community-Led Marketing & Growth | Executive GTM & Strategic Comms Leader | 50K+ Members • 350+ Events | Driving Trust → Pipeline | From Flying Cars to FoodTech

I build experiences that build trust. That’s been the common thread through every project I’ve led—from flying car demos and tech summits to grassroots communities and civic campaigns. As Director of Community Marketing at Pivotal (through June 2025), I led national and local field engagement for one of aviation’s most ambitious startups. I built Pivotal’s community marketing function from scratch—introducing a flywheel strategy and producing immersive flight events that connected thousands to the future of personal aviation. Awareness became action. Belief turned into buying signals. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve launched and scaled programs that blend authentic community, strategic storytelling, and measurable ROI—across brands like Pivotal, SF New Tech, RocketSpace, Meetup, and more. Highlights: • Built and ran Pivotal’s first-ever community events calendar and GTM playbook • Produced dozens of flight experiences with measurable lead-gen outcomes, media reach, and sales impact • Created SF’s longest-running tech series (SF New Tech), showcasing 850+ startups • Executive produced innovation summits for Fortune 100 clients • Raised $400K+ to support underrepresented founders via The Higher Tide • Led media, comms, and outreach for top civic and startup orgs Now, as my chapter at Pivotal wraps up, I’m looking ahead—to join a mission-driven team or agency that values bold community thinking, creative operations, and GTM strategy grounded in real human connection. 📩 Open to leadership roles, consulting, or short-term collaborations. If you’re building something that needs to resonate—deeply and sustainably—with the right people in the right places, let’s talk. 🌊 The Higher Tide: Go-to-Community is the Stronger GTM. 🌐 http://thehighertide.com
