Fresh Eyes on Challenges and Opportunities from a B2B Expert, Comfortable with Complexity, Category Creation and Reinvention
I have accelerated growth for numerous early-stage SaaS, science, and services businesses -- both as a member of the executive leadership team and as an advisor to the Board. Hired initially as their first Chief Marketing Officer, today I lead marketing, partnerships, and revenue as Chief Commercial Officer at a Series B technology startup that provides multimodal data infrastructure to biopharma.
I started my career at Red Hat and Oracle, before leading marketing at numerous growth-stage tech and services firms, spanning several successful exits via acquisition and spin-offs. From 2018-2023, I ran a thriving fractional CMO practice, providing a flexible alternative to full-time, in-house marketing leadership to dozens of organizations, specializing in founder-led B2B tech startups.
Clients love working with me because I bridge gaps.
I’m experienced and energetic, a sophisticated thinker with an insatiable curiosity. Complex science?
Emerging technology? Intricate business model? Multiple routes to market?
Let’s go.
Board-facing, but I speak geek too.
Big company, SMB and startup experiences.

Ask hard questions. Encourage decisions.
We are going to make progress, together.
