Executive Professional Profile

I bridge high-level business goals with operational reality.

I am a senior CRM, lifecycle marketing, automation, and growth operations leader with more than 11 years of experience building the systems behind measurable customer and revenue growth.

My work connects customer strategy, CRM architecture, lifecycle marketing, artificial intelligence, revenue enablement, compliance, campaign execution, and data intelligence into one cohesive operating model.

I have led complex initiatives across healthcare, benefits administration, home services, manufacturing, real estate, education, digital services, and regulated customer environments. I am most effective when the opportunity is clear, but the systems, processes, data, or customer journey require stronger structure.

I bring both strategic perspective and hands-on execution. I can define the operating model, build the workflows, repair the CRM, launch the campaigns, align cross-functional teams, establish governance, and create the reporting leadership needs to make confident decisions.
