Marketing Simplified | Helping Solopreneurs Master Marketing For Business Growth | Posts and articles with actionable insights.

I’m a revenue operations leader with 10+ years of experience designing systems, processes, and operating rhythms that align marketing, sales, and leadership around predictable growth.

My background spans enterprise and founder-led environments, where I’ve partnered cross-functionally to improve execution, visibility, and accountability across the go-to-market motion. I specialize in turning strategy into scalable workflows, defining the right KPIs, and helping teams operate with clarity rather than chaos.

In my current role, I operate as a revenue-adjacent leader for a multi-location organization (7 locations, 200+ employees), aligning marketing, sales, and operations through shared systems, documentation, and performance metrics. I regularly partner with executive leadership on prioritization, process standardization, and organizational execution.

My experience includes:

• Designing go-to-market and revenue-supporting workflows
• Defining and operationalizing KPIs across demand, pipeline, and execution
• Building documentation, playbooks, and operating cadence
• Improving cross-team alignment without relying on hierarchy
• Translating data into actionable insights for leadership

Previously, I founded and operated a consultancy where I owned end-to-end revenue operations, from pricing and intake through delivery, retention, and profitability, while building repeatable systems to scale execution.

I’m most effective in roles where I can:

• Build systems that reduce friction between teams
• Improve revenue predictability through clarity and discipline
• Partner closely with sales, marketing, and leadership
• Lead initiatives that turn strategy into execution

I’m particularly interested in senior revenue operations roles where alignment, systems, and execution quality are critical to growth.

Founder & Senior Brand Strategist

Medrio

For two years, I was tasked with turning around and breathing new life into Medrio’s global brand. A B2B SaaS company that had rapidly expanded across the world, the company’s brand had been mismanaged and treated as an afterthought. It was a sizeable challenge to not only uncover and push forward Medrio’s true brand promise but also get key stakeholders, aka leadership, on board. 
- Implemented the company’s strategic brand refresh: Conducted comprehensive brand audit to identify gaps and areas for improvement, Stakeholder interviews, VOC research, competitor analysis, brand architecture, customer journey maps, and segmentation.
- Worked with leaders across the company to develop a high-profile transformation of the Medrio brand, including updated messaging, Purpose/Vision/Mission, creative storytelling, positioning, and naming of new services and initiatives within our newly-clarified brand architecture. 
- Worked closely with our web development agency to overhaul the website, creating a better CX and putting our refreshed branding front and center so that visitors felt seen, not talked-to.
- Worked closely with the Director of Communications and VP of Marketing to tease out new brand messaging, tone of voice, and other critical pieces, then built those into tangible brand campaigns.
- Directed and designed a vast range of marketing materials, ranging from whitepapers and solution sheets, to slide presentations, infographics, social media graphics, syndicated and paid display advertising, and much more that all highlighted the refreshed brand
- Conceptualized and oversaw the first commercial video production for Medrio, resulting in our 2021 holiday video that garnered an 85% engagement rate.
- Managed various external vendors that helped us create our library of brand campaign assets, including SEO/paid, creative advertising, audio, and video production, and more.

Creative Chair

Raise your hand if you think food is one of the best parts of any event. Yeah, I see you!

When I was a junior in high school, I took a vocational culinary course and loved every minute of it. My father, however, insisted on academic college and a white-collar career path. So that's the direction I went. And while I can't complain about where my life is today, after 20 years in brand and marketing, I took the leap into something I truly love—cheese and charcuterie.

Now, I create boards that are about more than just food—they’re part of the experience. The kind of spread that gets people talking, gathering, and maybe even taking a few photos before diving in. I’m here for the moments where food matters—the celebrations, the milestones, the “just because” get-togethers that deserve something special.

I want every board to feel like it belongs at the center of a great time. Because when there’s cheese and charcuterie involved, the whole vibe shifts. It becomes warmer, more connected, a little more joyful.

Looking for something that makes your event feel just right? I’ve got you. The cheese will be excellent, and the joy comes built in.
