About

I build integrated growth systems across creators, communities, partnerships, and AI-native consumer products. Over the past 9+ years, I have led marketing, growth, partnerships, community, and product GTM work across AI/social products, creator ecosystems, campus and local-market networks, entertainment/media, and cross-market expansion. Selected signals include driving 0-to-1 growth to 1M+ users, helping an AI-native social product scale to 150K+ cumulative users, and driving 100K+ partner-channel sign-ups. I have also personally built and maintained 100,000+ user community, 2,000+ influencer / KOL / KOC resources, generated 100M+ cross-platform content views through public-facing content and media projects, and led founder/operator work recognized by 5 national-level entrepreneurship awards. I am strongest at turning ambiguous growth goals into repeatable systems: positioning, campaign architecture, creator/KOL strategy, community conversion, partnerships, offline activation, channel analysis, and cross-functional execution. I’m especially focused on Integrated Marketing, Growth Marketing, Creator Growth, Community Growth, Partnerships / BD, Product Marketing, and AI-native consumer product GTM.
