A senior marketing strategist with over two decades of experience leading high-impact growth initiatives across fintech, consumer, and digital first industries. I specialize in building marketing infrastructures from the ground up aligning data, creative, and customer behavior to drive measurable business outcomes. Currently, I serve as Director of Marketing at Tradesk, where I’ve been leading go-to-market, performance, and retention strategy in one of the most regulated and competitive verticals in tech. From launching a FINRA compliant behavioral loyalty engine to building our CRM and funnel architecture, I’ve helped shape how we acquire, educate, and retain users with a strong focus on long-term AUM growth and platform engagement. Over the years, I’ve run campaigns across Meta, Google, and every major biddable media channel, driving consistent gains in CAC efficiency, ROI, and mid-funnel conversion. But my strength isn’t just in execution it’s in translating complex, often fragmented insights into clear, strategic narratives that move teams and customers alike. I’ve worked both agency-side and in-house, and I’ve seen firsthand how the best growth comes from systems that connect brand, product, and performance not just from tactics. I take pride in building those systems, mentoring teams, and creating marketing that earns attention because it adds value. If there's one through line in my work, it’s this, clarity wins. Whether you're building a brand or educating a user, the ability to communicate simply and strategically is the most underused advantage in modern marketing.
