About Me

I've spent my career helping companies—from fintech and construction to media and deep tech—refine their positioning, build market credibility, and turn product marketing into a growth driver. Whether launching groundbreaking tech, scaling GTM motions, or shaping category leadership, I focus on making complex solutions compelling and commercially successful.

I've repositioned brands ahead of acquisitions, led industry-shaping reports, and built go-to-market strategies that shifted entire industries. At Eastnets, I'm defining the future of financial crime prevention. At Procore, I made Preconstruction a category. At Featurespace, I helped banks rethink fraud detection. Earlier, I worked with Microsoft, Oxford Nanopore, Silicon Valley Bank, and Uniqlo, helping them land their message in the right market, at the right moment.
