I am the current VP of Demand Generation at Bloomerang with a background as a 3X CMO. I have with a proven track record of helping companies scale from early stage through late growth, building marketing functions that drive sustainable scale. I thrive at the intersection of brand, demand generation, and AI-driven go-to-market strategy, translating innovation into market momentum.

Start-up stages: Seed to Series D & $1M - $150M
Enterprise experience at Cisco, Verizon, and AGCO

Core expertise includes:
- Building and scaling global marketing and growth organizations
- Harnessing AI as a growth engine, with hands-on experience in agentic AI models, Voice AI, and leading platforms such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and more to transform marketing, customer experience, and operational efficiency
- Partnering with CEOs, boards, and investors to guide companies through critical growth inflection points
- Positioning organizations for long-term success through strategic storytelling, brand building, and market leadership

In addition to my executive roles, I serve as an advisor to founders and leadership teams, an investor, and an author on the future marketing, AI and modern go-to-market strategy. These roles keep me deeply connected to emerging technologies and the evolving growth landscape, enriching the perspective I bring to every company I help scale.

I bring a balance of strategic vision and operational rigor, ensuring marketing not only shapes the narrative but also drives measurable business impact in revenue not just pipeline. Today, I am focused on helping organizations harness AI and modern growth strategies to reach their next stage of expansion with clarity, momentum, and scale.

ABSOLUTELY FIRED UP to be included in this piece dtcmvp just dropped....  the first of it's kind. 🔥 


FYI (For Your Intelligence) is a collection of anonymous 2026 predictions from operators across the Shopify ecosystem. Real conversations, real experiences, zero polishing for platform optics.

What I love about this is how unfiltered it is. 

On LinkedIn and Twitter... everything looks perfect.  DTC looks like a well-oiled machine. Everyone is confident.  Everyone appears winning.  Everyone is "scaling" or flexing. Celebrating wins, but staying quiet about the real challenges.    

Behind closed doors, it’s far more complicated. 

This ebook pulls from thousands of hours of anonymized conversations and surfaces the recurring problems leaders are actually trying to solve this year.

🌶️ There are some hyper-spicy takes in here, especially around the murkiness of attribution, measurement, omnichannel delusion, and what “performance” even means anymore.

I also want to give massive praise to Sean Wendt for what he has built with dtcmvp. He's true master connector in this ecosystem and the community of operators he has built is among the most impressive I have seen.  

If you want to read something REAL...  Something that strips the vanity and gets right to the guts of it... this is worth your time.
