Where creativity and connection meet

I'm a senior marketing executive with over 15 years of experience leading teams, building marketing strategy, and overseeing implementation across entire digital ecosystems. My work has focused primarily within the global sports and entertainment space. I believe the best marketing starts with a deep curiosity about people — who they are, what they care about, and how to earn their loyalty.

My career has taken me from the broadcast desks of ESPN to pitchside at the FIFA World Cup and Women's World Cup, and from DAZN's streaming launch in the US to Two Circles, where I've served as SVP of Consulting advising organizations like the NFL, Premier League, and Amazon Prime Sports on audience growth and commercial strategy.

My leadership style is founded in two things: trust and honesty. My teams know they can take smart risks, that I'll always give credit where it's due, and that the best ideas come from diverse perspectives in the room. Outside the boardroom, I'm a mountain biker, snowboarder, guitarist, and passionate traveler who believes the same curiosity that drives adventure fuels great strategy. Creating a culture of good energy, openness and integrity is a fundamental starting point before I dive into any project.

I'm currently exploring opportunities to bring my marketing, insights, and growth expertise to industries at the intersection of technology, consumer experience, and mission — including fintech, financial services, entertainment, higher education, and beyond.
