Why choose left brained versus right brained? My unconventional experience coupling strategic quantitative data decision-making with badass qualitative killer creative has resulted in a career journey I could not imagine. For the past 11 years I've led building remarkable consumer & enterprise brands like TurboTax, QuickBooks, LifeLock and Alteryx. 


What makes me tick is partnering with founders and CEOs for strategic storytelling, making complex SaaS technology simple, engaging and (dare I say) fun. Don't settle on commoditized, ineffective positioning. My teams create and deliver significant impact from pre to post-IPO growing multi-billion dollar valued companies that become leaders in competitive spaces. HOW is your company, its products or services unique and WHY should anyone care?
