Featured Customer Engagement Experts

Since 2023 I've managed direct channels (email, SMS, and social media) for Omni Hotels & Resorts. Prior to that, I was in the tech industry for 15 years, working my way up from a site merchandiser at Amazon to the Chief Growth Officer of a seed-stage startup. I've spoken at the SXSW Interactive and Salesforce Connections conferences, and am the author of the book Fatal Abstraction: Why the Managerial Class Loses Control of Technology, which explores the intersection of technology and leadership and the ways poor leadership can lead to technological disasters.

I specialize in what happens after someone signs up. Most companies lose the majority of their users before they ever experience the product's real value. I fix that. I build the lifecycle systems, onboarding sequences, activation triggers, event-based automations, retention loops, and upsell flows, that turn signups into engaged, paying customers. I've done this across SaaS, e-commerce, marketplaces, fintech, and media — building programs from zero and rebuilding ones that weren't working. Whether it's a free trial, freemium model, or subscription funnel, I design the system that moves people through it. Platforms: Customer.io, Klaviyo, HubSpot, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Active Campaign, Mailchimp
