I thrive on helping clients tell their disruptive stories

About Me

I specialize in disruptive storytelling - helping clients disrupt incumbents by describing how their products/services change their customer's lives. I help clients develop a new customer narrative that appeals to them on emotional and rational levels.

With decades of experience as a product marketer in B2B software and cloud service companies, I've produced a broad range of marketing assets for use in demand generation campaigns, inbound marketing, sales enablement, public relations and thought leadership campaigns.

The principles of modern marketing are the framework for all my client engagements. My work is grounded in a thorough understanding of your target personas and their journey from awareness to selection and advocacy.

My experience spans start-ups to global technology leaders and I have extensive domain expertise in IT infrastructure industries (networking, communications & collaboration, security, high performance computing). I am skilled in enabling direct and indirect salesforces.
