About

Marketing strategist with 10+ years of experience driving demand generation, GTM, and channel marketing across high-growth SaaS and fintech companies. I’ve built and scaled programs that deliver full-funnel impact and accelerate revenue, spanning paid media, integrated campaigns, ABM, and partner-led GTM initiatives. I've led full-stack marketing teams, secured and deploying multi-million-dollar budgets through data-driven business cases and partnership with finance. I thrive at the intersection of data, messaging, integrated campaigns, and cross-functional collaboration. I’m passionate about turning complex product value into clear, compelling narratives that resonate with ICPs, build trust, and drive measurable growth.
