About

Senior field marketing and sales experience, strategic events, and tradeshow leader with 10+ years driving revenue-generating programs in enterprise technology. I specialize in moving the Closed-Won needle by planning and executing third-party tradeshows, global conferences, and field marketing activations aligned to sales pipeline objectives. My background includes owning end-to-end event delivery, from competitive event selection and budgeting to booth execution, onsite logistics, and post-event reporting. Previously at CloudBees, I managed 100+ enterprise tradeshows and conferences, partnered closely with Sales, Product Marketing, Demand Generation, and Marketing Operations, and supported over $2m ARR in realized pipeline impact through Salesforce-driven campaign attribution and structured follow-up. Today, through ITMP, I consult on enterprise field marketing, event production, and experiential activations for technology clients, managing vendors, graphics production, labor coordination, and onsite execution. I’m passionate about building event programs that earn sales trust, create meaningful customer engagement, and deliver real business outcomes. Closed-won deals, one relationship at a time.
