About
I am not one thing. But in all things, I am an entrepreneur. My work sits at the intersection of brand positioning, storytelling and sales.
I started my first business, a retail technology company called Bulletin, at age 24. The company pioneered a new way for premium brands and retail buyers to meet and transact, and it sold for 10 million dollars to Emerald [NYSE:EEX], the biggest B2B events company in the United States.
I have been consulting for other businesses ever since. I guided my first client toward a profitable exit, and have helped my founders raise a collective 20 million dollars in venture funding and close multiple five-to-six figure sponsorship deals.
As an author, my latest fiction project, The Raise, challenges the traditional “book launch” playbook and uses devices from cinema, consumer social, and DTC e-commerce to turn The Raise into a branded, immersive experience — not just a book on the shelf. With zero outbound PR, it was featured on Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club Podcast and was named one of “The Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2025” by Bustle. You can order here and watch the “trailer” for the book here.

What I Do
I'm a creative and strategic thinker who partners with venture-backed DTC and B2B businesses to drive real business outcomes and incremental revenue. Think of me like a plug-and-play CMO or CRO for-hire, someone who can drop into your team, spot areas of weakness and optimize what isn’t working.
My expertise covers:
Brand positioning + brand voice (see: Verdoie)
ShopMy + DTC affiliate strategies (see: Dune Suncare)
Fundraising decks + partnership decks
Copywriting for web development (see: Alter:Bio)
Email marketing strategies + templates
Freelancer recruiting & staffing
If you’re new to market, I will use my 10 years of experience to build you systems, templates and strategies that set you up for immediate & longterm success. But if you’re an existing brand, we can still partner.
