Biography

I help uncover what makes companies, products and brands remarkable, so they may deliver with confidence; fresh, innovative offerings to the marketplace. Equal parts leader and creative instigator, I have led teams in diverse arenas to produce exceptional results.

My expertise ranges from strategic positioning to field execution, with a diligent eye on precise communication, both on and offline. From CPG's, to agencies and entertainment organizations, I've been able to focus a brands efforts on the most critical opportunities; producing exceptional results.

Prior to opening my own brand marketing consultancy in 2007, I honed my marketing and brand building skills during my 8 years with Red Bull North America, where I helped lead the energy drink brand to #1 in the US.

In addition, I currently serve on the board of advisors for Blue Green Ventures and UrbanBuddy.com.

When not leading a brainstorm, you might find me fishing, mountain biking or golfing.
