An innovative media executive with deep experience growing and transforming multi-platform digital juggernauts. Adept at spotting problems before they surface and finding solutions that creatively blend big-picture thinking and in-the-weeds details. A dynamic public speaker with a deep appreciation of history, people and community. My superpower is spotting and recruiting A+ talent.

I am a tenacious, results-driven, entrepreneurial executive with 20 years of experience developing, building and growing direct-to-consumer, e-commerce businesses, including the tech infrastructure that powers them. I follow a rigorous data-driven process and excel at leading cross-functional teams and vendors to develop strategies for and execute on complex projects. I bring a global perspective to everything I do having lived and worked in the US, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia and the Middle East.
