PROFESSIONAL WORK (NOT A RESUME):

 
 

00 — LAUNCH by NTT DATA - Head of Marketing Operations

Over ten years ago, we launched 100% U.S. based agile development services. Along this journey, we quickly realized our clients needed more. So we helped them transform from the traditional IT mindset to the product mindset with cross-functional product teams to accelerate their digital product strategy and development.

As a company, our people-first culture has rallied around our mission, “Because life’s too short for crappy software,” with a relentless pursuit to building amazing customer experiences so our clients thrive.

Today, we may have a slightly new name, “Nexient, an NTT DATA Company,” but our relentless commitment to our clients and their business’s digital transformation remains the same. As we join NTT DATA, a top six global IT provider, we are excited to accelerate the scope and value we will be able to bring to our clients, as well as offer additional career and growth opportunities for our team.

01 — TIXXY - HEAD OF GROWTH

Tixxy recommends concerts based on the music you listen to via text message. Never miss your favorite artist ever again!

Growing a low friction, app-less product through grit, experimentation and obsessive measurement.

02 — BUYSIDE - DIRECTOR, PLATFORM GROWTH

As Director, Platform Growth, I am responsible for driving top line growth for Buyside's SaaS platform through demand generation and effective sales operations and management. Top line growth is measured by not only net-new customer acquisition, but also activation within existing audiences and driving expansion within current customers.

My responsibilities are ever-evolving but focus on all things awareness, acquisition, activation and retention within all of our customer segments.

03 — EBTH - DIGITAL GROWTH MANAGER

As a liaison between our technology team and other departments within the organization, my focus revolves around identifying opportunities to optimize our user funnel, prioritizing growth experiments for testing and measuring the successes of those efforts by instrumenting a comprehensive attribution model that helps influence decisions.

While most of the work at EBTH is in lock-step with the marketing organization, I regularly interface with the Sales team to optimize their Salesforce experience, assisted with Customer Success on operational efficiency and other various groups to remove friction within any of the processes that they currently navigate through.

04 — APINation - HEAD OF GROWTH

Operating in the real estate technology space, APINation has positioned itself as a clear integration leader for both cutting edge brokerages and fresh, boots on the ground, agents. As a tool that makes it simple to connect the 40+ tools that every real estate professional uses to conduct business, APINation understands what it means to unlock growth within the customers they serve.

As the Head of Growth, my responsibilities were focused on all things instrumentation, modeling and deployment of high growth efforts. With a focus on digital growth, I was able to deploy social campaigns that reached a critical mass of real estate professionals desperate for solutions, manage a partner program that brought recurring value to the companies we partnered with and drum up net new business through strategic email programming that was actionable and insightful to our users.

05 — ASTRONOMER - DIRECTOR OF GROWTH EXPERIMENTATION

Astronomer is a data engineering platform that collects, processes and unifies your enterprise data, so you can get straight to analytics, data science and—more importantly—insights.

Having raised $6+ Million in venture capital, I was brought in to instrument and manage an experimentation team that focused on iterative growth through paid digital, lifecycle marketing, ABM strategy, funnel acceleration and more.

With a team of 5 we were able to reach 10x lead acquisition targets within 60 days and quickly turn our entire sales funnel into a well oiled machine that positioned the company to accelerate their path towards their MRR goals.

06 — DOTLOOP - MARKETING AUTOMATION STRATEGIST

During my 8 year tenure at dotloop (employee number 7) there were a wide range of responsibilities and influences I had within the organization. I was a critical asset pre-seed round funding, to and through our ultimate acquisition by Zillow Group.

Most notably, my primary focus was on ensuring that the systems we used as a marketing team were properly configured to deliver marketing materials to relevant audiences, route leads based on defined criteria, nurture prospective customers, generate demand in the marketplace and regularly report on the metrics associated with all marketing initiatives.

My experience with dotloop was ultimately what charted the course for my entire career and I am eternally grateful for every single person there.

07 — INMAN NEWS - GROWTH MARKETING MANAGER

As the growth marketing manager my focus is on the core pillars that move the company forward. Most recently, my focus has been on subscriber growth, churn reduction, new product adoption and demand generation growth.

My role has a wide-spread impact but using our growth process allows us to quickly iterate on ideas and scale the business. I was a direct report to the COO and a key decision maker in anything related to measurable, iterative growth.

If you’re looking to grow, we should talk.

In the past 13 years I’ve spent time with countless amounts of companies helping them understand the levers they need to pull to affect change and growth within their organization. With an unbiased approach and proven ability to scale organizations, I’d love to help you tackle your goals.
