Built for pipeline.
Wired for growth.

I’m a B2B marketing and GTM executive with 15+ years across SaaS and media, most recently as VP of Marketing at AudienceView, where I built and led a 17-person team spanning brand, field, product marketing, BDR, and digital.

My work sits at the intersection of creative storytelling and revenue accountability. I’ve rebuilt demand engines, led rebrands, presented KPI packs to PE owners, and more recently, built the AI-native layer (agentic workflows, account scoring, customer intelligence) that turns GTM strategy into daily execution.

Outside of work: triathlons, reading, basketball, and craft beer and homebrewing.

What I’ve built.

Pipeline Engine Scaled
ProblemMarketing sourced roughly 30% of pipeline; the rest leaned entirely on outbound sales with no repeatable system.
BuiltA full-funnel engine across outbound, ABM, paid, and lifecycle, each instrumented back to pipeline and revenue.
ResultPipeline mix 30% → 70%+, 5x ROMI, sub-13-month payback.
BDR Org, Built from Zero Built
ProblemNo BDR function existed. All outbound prospecting depended on AEs with no dedicated motion.
BuiltThe company’s first BDR org, layering in intent signals and AI-assisted prospecting so output scaled ahead of headcount.
Result22% of bookings within two years, at 10% lower CAC.
ABM Across 3 Verticals Shipped
ProblemOne GTM motion couldn’t address three verticals with different buying committees in one finite market.
BuiltConcurrent 1:1 high-touch outbound, intent-based sequences, and 1:many competitive campaigns against a defined ICP per vertical.
ResultWin rate +7%, larger average deal size, faster velocity.
Two M&A Rebrands Shipped
ProblemMerged entities carried conflicting brands, client communications, and GTM positioning.
BuiltCo-led unification of brand identity, client communications, and go-to-market positioning across both integrations, working directly with CEO/CRO.
ResultWin rate and net revenue retention each +3% post-integration.

What I’ve built. Where I’ve shown up.

AI System

GTM Intelligence Loop

A 5-phase framework (targeting, outbound, sales execution, an AI intelligence engine, and close/handoff) mapped straight to win rate, cycle time, and deal size, with a maturity roadmap to get there.

System Design

Client Brain

Proposed architecture for a unified, permission-aware customer intelligence layer spanning marketing, sales, and support: a persistent memory of account context that AI agents draw from.

Recurring Framework

GTM x AI Weekly

A running internal log tracking what's actually working, and what isn't, as AI gets embedded into scoring, enrichment, and outbound, account by account.

Playbook

Outbound OS

Scores and tiers accounts, then auto-builds the account brief and the first call/email script, so reps open a pre-loaded, prioritized dashboard instead of a blank one.

Template

Enterprise ABM OS

An operating template for a named enterprise target-account list: win briefs, living account summaries, org mapping, digital sales rooms, and a leadership coverage dashboard.

Research

Consumer & Audience Reports

Original research on ticket-buying behaviour in the US and UK, commissioned and published in partnership with a leading theatre-industry media outlet to build category authority.

On the ground

Repping the brand at industry conferences: booth presence, swag, and on-site marketing for TPC 2026 and INTIX 2026.
