About
I am an engineer turned marketer with a passion for storytelling and brand building. With a career of 18+ years in leadership roles across various teams, including B2B and B2C, digital - content marketing, and business communications, I am equally comfortable leading large organizations or working in the trenches in early-stage start-ups. I find the blend of creativity and analytical thinking required in marketing very stimulating and satisfying. But most of all, I love nurturing talent, collaborating to create strong brands, and delivering outstanding business results.
