About

I've always been interested in helping people understand difficult things.

Before marketing, I practiced law. My job was to understand the facts, identify what matters, and build the strongest possible case. Today I do that for companies.

Since then, I've built a travel publication to 450,000+ readers, launched multiple podcasts, built a content agency, and led marketing for startups from pre-seed through Series B.

Today, my work sits at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and product thinking.

Work with me

A senior marketing partner for Seed to Series B companies navigating growth, launches, or category creation. I work alongside founders to define positioning, sharpen messaging, lead product and content marketing, and build the organizational systems that support sustainable growth.

Content & Thought Leadership
