San Francisco, California, United States
I believe marketing has the power to elevate, not just brands but people. For what feels like a hundred years, I've led creative marketing and sales enablement efforts with one core purpose: to humanize business through customer-centric storytelling and breakthrough innovation. I wake up every day energized by the opportunity to connect, inspire, and empower; whether it's a client, a teammate, or an entire market. Driven by a lifelong curiosity and a passion for emerging technologies, I stay at the forefront of innovation. Today's explosion of AI-powered tools excites me because it levels the playing field, helping great ideas prevail. I'm living my dream; helping organizations tap into these tools to move faster, think bigger, and drive meaningful change. As a player-coach, I lead with heart and hustle. My leadership style is hands-on and human; grounded in integrity, grit, and genuine connection. As one former teammate shared, "He truly cares about his team in a way that speaks much louder than words…working with him, not just reporting to him." Across industries, I've had the privilege of building scalable programs that turn strategy into action: creating compelling brand narratives, generating qualified leads, equipping sales teams, and amplifying market presence through digital content and PR. Whether launching a campaign or mentoring a team, my compass is always set on purpose and impact. I'm based in San Francisco, but I have lived and worked in Denver, Charlotte, and Sacramento. I am just as comfortable collaborating across the U.S. or Europe. I hold dual citizenship (U.S. and Ireland) and thrive in globally minded, values-driven environments.
At Purple Koru, I get to do what I love: help businesses grow with clear thinking, great marketing, and a team that knows how to get things done. I'm not your typical consultant; I'm more of an "un-consultant," someone who's in it with you, sleeves rolled up, moving ideas into impact. Whether you're an enterprise trying to move faster or a startup trying to scale with more structure, I help bridge that gap. From go-to-market strategy to building strong, differentiated brands, my focus is always the same: make the path forward clearer, simpler, and easier to act on. That same mindset is what led us to build Compare IQ. We kept seeing the same challenge: teams trying to explain and compare storage across hyperscalers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, but getting stuck in complexity, spreadsheets, and unclear answers. So we built something practical. Compare IQ is a pricing intelligence platform that lets you model real workloads, starting with backup and archive, and see, side-by-side, what things actually look like across hyperscalers and your own platform. It's not about abstract "cost optimization." It's about giving teams something they can actually use in real conversations: Clear comparisons based on identical workloads The ability to bring your own pricing into the picture Multi-year views that reflect how decisions play out over time Outputs you can put in front of a customer without translating or reworking It's built the same way we work, with a bias toward clarity, usefulness, and real-world application. From guesswork → to something you can stand behind From internal analysis → to conversations that move forward Purple Koru is still what it's always been: a flexible team that can jump in where needed, short-term or long-term, to help companies move faster with less friction. Compare IQ is just a natural extension of that work.
