Re-Imagining Digital Experiences with a focus on UX, CX and Revenue generation

I have led Revenue generating efforts at start-ups and Fortune 100 firms spanning Software, Internet, Travel, Publishing, Media, Entertainment and Academia. I'm known for simplifying complex projects to get at the core of the opportunity. My passion is in helping others succeed.

I'm currently teaching Digital Marketing and Digital Analytics at UCLA Extension while pursuing creative and revenue generating opportunities. I'd like to offer my service as a Fractional CDO (Digital and/or Data).
