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.

More Than Advise & Consult Because Advice is Easy to Give; Implementation is Hard

Too often advisors and fractional executives give great advice but fall short of seeing it through. I’m allergic to this approach. Good advice is easy to give and hard to follow. Implementation is where value is created.

When I advise companies, it’s not a typical advise-and-consult only relationship. I dig in, meet with stakeholders, make recommendations and shepherd their implementation so the ideas worth testing don’t die on the whiteboard.
