I’m a reformed marketing and brand strategist with a knack for building passionate creative teams (my teams give a sh*t), insanely dialed processes (without process, chaos rules), and work that just plain works (I want people to do the hardest thing….pay attention) that moves brands forward. Lodes of experience doing this for DTC and lifestyle brands.
