About

I’m a search and AI discovery strategist focused on how brands appear across traditional search engines and emerging AI answer platforms. My work sits at the intersection of SEO, AI search visibility, and performance marketing, helping companies understand how they surface in both search results and generative AI answers—and how to improve that visibility. At Tailored Brands (Men’s Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank), I partner with SEO, e-commerce, site operations, and social teams to translate search and AI visibility insights into actionable marketing strategies. I’m a power user of the Profound AI visibility platform, analyzing prompt-based queries and generative responses to understand how brands are cited and discovered in AI search environments. I also manage large-scale paid search campaigns and use analytics tools like GA4 and Marketing Mix Modeling to optimize performance. Highlights: • Drove 47% YoY incremental revenue growth in Q4 FY25 with only a 4% increase in media spend • Improved ROAS by 41% YoY through search and paid media optimization • Manage $10M+ annual paid search media budget across SEM, Google Shopping, and Performance Max • Analyze brand visibility across AI answer engines to inform SEO and discovery strategies Previously, I worked in music and entertainment marketing where I supported campaigns that generated 600M+ music streams and managed marketing strategy for emerging artists. I’m particularly interested in the future of AI-driven discovery, search evolution, and how brands win visibility in generative answer environments.
