I’m a seasoned leader with over 15 years of experience leading brand and product marketing teams for high-growth companies such as Medium, Airbnb, Google, Foursquare, MTV, Daily Harvest, and more.I’m creatively-driven with expertise in developing brand strategy, honing customer segmentation and positioning, launching new products, and acquiring (and keeping) customers.
