I’m not your typical CMO - I’m a Chief “Magic” Officer. I’ve been brewing marketing magic for over 20 years, starting with leadership of several iconic brands at PepsiCo (Pepsi Cola, Mountain Dew, SoBe...RIP!!), and expanding beyond CPG to other industries like media (News Corp) and finance (BlackRock). Today, as co-founder of The Band of Sisters, and author of "You Should Smile More", I’m shaping the future of work across industries as a workplace culture champion, and guiding leaders in startups and enterprise companies as an advisor and board director. Most recently obsessed with future-proofing the workforce in the age of AI (humans with teams of agents - or teams of agents with a human!). My formula for success: a trifecta of effective Culture, Strategy & Execution. I haven’t met an elevator pitch I couldn’t make better. And I haven’t met a team I couldn’t inspire to their best work.
We call ourselves The Band of Sisters: six founders who are all former PepsiCo executives as well as C-suite leaders, Industry Advisors and Board Directors with experience across 29 industries. We are passionate advocates for the power of culture to drive outstanding business results. Our collective operating experience powers our book content and our executive speaking platform on the topics of leadership, work culture, and the future of work. We have co-authored the award-winning book, "You Should Smile More. How to Dismantle Gender Bias in the Workplace."
Providing strategic guidance to WovenWorks, formerly Product Ventures plus COHO Creative - a brilliant combination of the leading packaging and brand innovation agency with added creative and design expertise.
