About

I am passionate about building great brands, telling stories, creating new ways of doing business, inspiring consumers with big ideas, leveraging new technologies, media, partnerships and platforms: digital, analog and everything in-between. I love exploring new ways to achieve this, with methods that are data-driven, idea-centric and buzzword-agnostic. I believe that it's a marketer's job to connect the dots between where we are now and where we want to be. Nothing is impossible. The best work elicits goosebumps and tears; heartstrings are often a good predictor of bottom lines. Brands are replaceable, but Lovemarks are forever. I've worked for big companies and small ones. I have founded my own startup(s), built an agency that a public company acquired, co-hosted a podcast, and published a book. I moonlight as an instructor so that I can continue learning by teaching. I have cut my teeth across multiple industries, always on the front lines of innovation. I love connecting with others and will lend my support wherever I can. I've been fortunate enough to have many mentors, guides and supporters on my professional journey. I am constantly inspired and humbled by those around me. If you ask, I will always try my best to say yes.

Experience

  • Founder and CEO at SLT Consulting
    Oct 2018 - Present · 7 yrs 9 mos

    Founder and CEO of SLT Consulting, a boutique digital marketing agency helping brands drive sustainable growth through strategy-led, performance-focused marketing. SLTC partners with organizations across brand and marketing strategy, customer acquisition, paid and organic media, social and influencer marketing, search and SEO, website optimization, and performance analytics. Our work combines strategic insight with thoughtful execution to earn trust and drive long-term business impact. In 2020, SLT Consulting was acquired by Fiverr, where I continued to lead the agency as CEO within a public company environment, scaling operations while maintaining a client-first, high-performance culture. In 2026, I reclaimed ownership of SLT Consulting and now operate the agency independently, leading its next chapter with a focus on deep client partnerships, operational excellence, and durable growth. SLTC works best with leadership teams who value clarity, collaboration, and marketing as a strategic driver of business outcomes.
