Summary
I am a high-velocity marketing executive who specializes in turning complex market challenges into scalable revenue engines. Throughout my leadership at Bright Horizons, Breezeline, and CVS Health, I have mastered the art of full-funnel orchestration, bridging the gap between high-level brand identity and aggressive demand generation. My approach is defined by a relentless focus on unit economics and customer lifetime value; I have successfully reduced CPA by 28% while simultaneously increasing marketing-attributed sales from 30% to 52% for a top 10 US telecom provider. I thrive at the intersection of data and human psychology, leveraging AI-driven growth strategies to influence multi-million dollar pipelines—most recently driving $7.2M in B2B revenue and achieving 23% YoY MQL growth in the EdTech space. Beyond the metrics, I am a culture-builder who believes that high-performing teams are the ultimate competitive advantage. My leadership style, which earned a peak eNPS of 72, prioritizes radical accountability and cross-functional transparency. If you are looking for a strategic partner to the C-suite who can navigate D2C, B2B, and B2B2C landscapes to deliver durable growth and 25% YoY digital sales lifts, I am the leader you need to scale your organization.
