Summary

I'm a creative AI-augmented marketing leader with a proven track record, driving over $8 million in marketing-sourced ARR at HeroDevs alone (I have the receipts). I'm an expert in full-funnel demand generation strategy and team leadership. I make it happen by creating impactful campaigns that enhance brand visibility, generate high-quality leads, and fill that pipeline. I work really well with others, I believe I drive people to want to better and I love lifting up my whole team to get the credit.
