Senior Marketing Strategist
When marketing needs to get serious, I come in.
about
For 20 years I was the person at the table who made things happen.
At AKQA and Huge — two of the world's leading digital agencies — I ran accounts for Nike, Starbucks, Verizon, Ulta, Amex, and Chase. I learned every discipline from the inside: strategy, analytics, UX, creative, product, performance, brand. Not because I had to know everything — but because getting great work across the finish line requires understanding all of it.
I started consulting because I wanted to bring that directly to companies, not on behalf of an agency.
The pattern I kept seeing: a marketing team that's good at execution but missing the system. A director who's been handed a bigger scope than they were hired for. A founder who built a team but doesn't know what 'good' looks like yet. These are the moments I'm built for.
I come in, figure out what's broken, build the strategy and structure to fix it, and leave your team with the framework to run it themselves. That's CMO-in-a-Box. That's what I do.
It's the same problem that led me to found Better Brand Analytics — a platform that gives brand marketers the measurement tools they've always needed and never had.

Marketing system design
For companies where marketing is working but not working together. I audit the full function — strategy, channels, measurement, team structure — and build the operating system to make it coherent, accountable, and scalable.
Fractional marketing leadership
When you need senior strategic thinking without a full-time hire. I step in as an embedded partner to your leadership team — setting direction, building the plan, and making sure it gets executed.
Brand performance & measurement
For marketing leaders who need to defend brand investment in a finance-first room. I build the frameworks, dashboards, and narratives that connect brand activity to business outcomes — in language CFOs can act on. Informed by the methodology behind Better Brand Analytics.
