Recruiter

I am a growth-focused C-suite executive with a proven track record of driving revenue and demand generation across diverse industries, including finance, insurance, professional services, and government sectors. My leadership style, shaped as a decorated military veteran, combines strategic vision, disciplined execution, and the ability to build and inspire high-performing teams.

Passionate about leveraging AI-driven digital marketing, strategic branding, and talent acquisition, I specialize in creating and fulfilling demand–whether for talent or market presence. As Chief Marketing Officer at N2Growth, I built the firm's global brand from zero to one, driving demand generation that expanded our influence across 50+ global markets. At USAA, I spearheaded the demand for talent through comprehensive digital engagement and employer brand strategies, positively impacting millions of members and thousands of employees.

My expertise encompasses integrated marketing campaigns, product launches, B2C and B2B demand generation, and forming impactful alliances with top global brands. By innovating employee CX engagement strategies, I've consistently delivered sales growth, client retention, and increased demand by aligning internal culture with external brand promises.

I am actively exploring opportunities for board and C-suite roles where I can leverage my deep experience in demand-focused marketing leadership to drive organizational growth, enhance brand visibility, and foster cross-functional, high-performing teams ready for sustained success.
