Marketing & Communications Leader

I love big ideas.

I approach marketing as a way to share ideas. For an idea to resonate, it has to be researched, debated, and targeted. The best ideas are based on a core belief and serve a clear objective.

I create an environment where colleagues share ideas, feel supported, and work together on clear objectives.
