Columbia, Maryland, United States

About

For over 10 years I have been a change agent for SaaS/Enterprise software companies, helping them accelerate time-to-revenue by improving marketing performance around people, process and technology. I translate big-picture business strategy into actionable marketing plans, developing and implementing multi-channel marketing programs and initiatives that drive business results. Both creative and analytical, I craft and execute demand generation programs that build and accelerate sales pipeline – focused on full funnel metrics and measuring marketing’s contribution to revenue. Where marketing teams are struggling to prove value to stakeholders, I build and coach them to become high-performing, global marketing teams focused on new customer acquisition, retention and growth. I’m a critical thinker, motivational leader and collaborative team-player who works effectively in a fast-paced, matrixed environment to deliver on objectives. Specialties: - Building and Mentoring Revenue Focused Marketing Teams - Customer-based Marketing Strategy Development and ABM - Integrated, Multi-Channel Campaign Creation and Execution - Measure, Analyze and Optimize Campaigns - Sales Onboarding, Systems Training, Reporting and Processes - Sales Pipeline Development including Business Development Team Management - Customization and Deployment of CRM and Marketing Automation Platforms - Trade Show and Strategic Event Planning and Management Fortunate to have been born into a military family, I have lived and traveled throughout the USA and Europe.
