About me.

My career has been shaped by building businesses and bringing people together around a shared vision. Before founding my advisory practice, I held managing director roles at high-growth startups where I built and scaled their development marketing businesses.

That experience taught me to look beyond positioning alone—to understand how a business operates, where momentum is being lost, and what its people need to succeed. I focus on optimizing spend, aligning individual and organizational strengths, and creating a clear path to revenue growth.

Meaningful connection is what continues to draw me to this work. I’m curious about what makes someone feel connected to a brand, a place, or an idea, and what turns that connection into a lasting relationship. I’m drawn to ventures where capital, product, and human experience align. Beyond the offering itself, I believe the most successful ventures create places, communities, and experiences that people want to be part of.
