GM North America & CMO

California State University, Long Beach

A focus around Big data. I served as a representation of big data and how it can be leveraged across business units.

Big Data Board Of Advisors

Director RevOps and Insights

Passionate about bringing humanity to business. 

High growth leader, Built teams from scratch from 0-120, 3X CMO with a background in RevOps, Demand Gen, and RevOps. 2 Successful exits. I’m a bit of a data freak but I am super creative and have come up with some insanely fun and engaging campaigns. Enterprise leadership roles at Cisco, Verizon, and AGCO, instrumental in driving massive growth. Strengths are driving a growth engine that can scale while building a solid team that can operate and have fun. $0-$150M and Seed - Series D is what I have done several times now.

The personal side of me: I am a father of 4 with an amazing wife, this is what drives me. I am a sports enthusiast & Utah Jazz fan #takenote. 

I believe the biggest gap in today's world is our lack of being human even when there are differences. Be kind in all that you do, it always pays off.
