About

Civil engineer turned performance marketer — I still believe in strong foundations, just different kind now. I've spent my career trying to understand why people do what they do — and then building marketing around that answer instead of around a dashboard. I lead performance marketing, but the part I actually obsess over is the moment before someone converts: what were they thinking, what almost made them scroll past, what made them stop instead. Most of my best work has come from refusing to accept the obvious explanation for why something worked or didn't — asking one more "why" than felt necessary at the time. I care more about the person behind the click than the click itself. That's probably why I gravitated toward performance marketing in the first place — it's the part of marketing where you actually get to test whether you understood someone correctly, and the numbers tell you if you were right. Systems compound. Tactics decay. I try to build the former, even when the latter is easier and faster.
