About

I started my career in political campaigns and public affairs, and today I help organizations build and measure their reputation. Over the past decade, I’ve managed more than $1B in paid media investments and helped shape the field of reputation marketing, with a focus on data and measurement. At Amazon, I serve as a Chief of Staff–style partner to the VP of Reputation & Content Strategy. Our team shapes how Amazon shows up across paid, owned, social, and internal channels, grounded in research, insights, and technology. Before Amazon, I was a Senior Director at Bully Pulpit Interactive, where I worked with companies, campaigns, and causes to change minds, win elections, and raise funds. I’m also a founding member of Project Healthy Minds, a tech-driven nonprofit building a digital marketplace for mental health services.
