Fractional Head of Product Marketing | Product Marketing Strategy

I've spent 10+ years working in technical B2B SaaS companies—from employee #3 stage through Series C. I've been lucky enough to work at companies that got acquired (Knack, Mode Analytics), which taught me a lot about what actually matters when you're building for the long haul.

What I do:
I build product marketing from scratch at technical companies where "product" actually means something in product marketing. My sweet spot is complex products—AI/ML infrastructure, data analytics, developer tools, workflow automation—where you need someone who can talk to engineers and then translate that into messaging that makes sense to buyers.

I've led marketing at places like Wallaroo AI (MLOps infrastructure) and LeadIQ (sales tech). I've also done foundational PMM work at early-stage startups still figuring out their positioning and GTM strategy. Turns out I'm drawn to the messy early stages—building frameworks, setting up processes, helping teams figure out what resonates.

What I've learned:
I care a lot about cross-functional collaboration between product, engineering, and go-to-market. Too many Product Marketers forget about the "Product" in their title. I actually like working with technical teams to shape what we're building, not just marketing what gets shipped.

I'm comfortable building with constraints. I've rebuilt marketing with little-to-no budget, launched products without big teams, and figured out how to move fast with what we have. Turns out constraints make you creative.

I've gotten pretty good at translating technical complexity. Whether it's ML model deployment, data governance, or gnarly integrations, I can take technical capabilities and turn them into narratives that resonate.

I have strategic and tactical range. I've led teams and worked solo. I've built integrated campaigns and shaped company-wide positioning. I can do the high-level strategy work and also just get stuff done.

Right now:
I'm running ProductColab, helping early-stage technical companies build their marketing foundations—positioning, GTM strategy, messaging, and the cross-functional bits that connect marketing with product.

Always happy to connect about opportunities at technical B2B companies building interesting products where product-market fit actually matters.

The Culture Recruiter

I’ve been casually writing resumes for friends and family since my early days recruiting. 

It wasn’t until the pandemic that my vision for an exit from recruiting really started to coalesce. 

I’ve finally settled into a career that I LOVE. 💕 

In addition to taking my own clients for full-service resume design, resume reviews, LinkedIn transformation, networking coaching, and interview skill building, I also work for a small outplacement services company, helping folks navigate the job market after a lay-off, as well as an exciting start-up career-growth program based in the Bay Area.

Resume Writer & Job Search Coach

ARCOS LLC

ARCOS received a major investment in March 2021 from Vista Equity Partners, a private equity firm specializing in software, data and tech-enabled companies with over $70B in assets. 

As part of their short-term value creation plan, I came aboard to recruit top talent quickly. In my 5-month tenure, as sole recruiter, I brought on several key executives, including Director of Strategy, as well as multiple mid-level technical positions, filling 12+ positions with an average TTF of just 35 days in a VERY tight market, during the #GreatResignation.

Principal, Talent Acquisition

SPS Commerce

Data Masons Software was acquired by SPS Commerce in December of 2020. During the transitional period, I took ownership of the alignment of the Data Masons' hiring processes and policy into the SPS vision. I was responsible for designing a plan for the merger of the legacy applicant-tracking system into iCIMS, and drafting a plan for discontinuation of other legacy systems. While managing that process, I continued to support the aggressive hiring plans of the Microsoft Market Team, filling 8 key positions in just the first 6 weeks post-merger.

Recruiting Coordinator

I’m an experienced Career Coach and Resume Writer who empowers professionals to unlock new career opportunities through strategic storytelling and targeted job search tactics.

I launched my career in HR and technical recruiting, building a foundation in talent acquisition and employer branding that has allowed me to help both companies and job seekers thrive. Early on, I honed my skills at companies like SPS Commerce, where I managed recruiting for a global business unit, spearheaded the post-acquisition recruitment strategy, and set a new hiring record. My ability to deliver results in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment laid the groundwork for my transition to career coaching and resume writing.

In 2021, I formally established The Culture Recruiter, a boutique career services firm dedicated to helping individuals tell their unique career stories and land roles that align with their goals. Through this business, I’ve guided a diverse array of clients—from industry veterans to career changers—on crafting compelling resumes, optimizing LinkedIn profiles, and developing strategic job search plans. I’m particularly proud of the impact I’ve had on diverse and underrepresented job seekers, improving their job placement rates and boosting their confidence in the hiring process.

Outside my main career, I am a lifelong learner and community advocate. I hold several certifications, including the Professional in Human Resources (PHR) and Certified Career Coach designations. Additionally, I contribute pro bono career coaching to local organizations, supporting job seekers who face unique challenges and providing them with the tools they need to succeed.

Currently, I lead The Culture Recruiter, helping clients navigate the competitive job market with clarity and confidence. Whether it’s through resume writing, interview coaching, or personal branding, I’m passionate about providing practical, actionable advice that helps clients stand out and achieve their career aspirations.
