about me
My journey is one of diverse experiences, creative endeavors, and a heartfelt commitment to making a difference. From the dynamic worlds of television and advertising to the strategic intricacies of legal tech marketing, my path has been shaped by roles that have honed my ability to tell compelling stories, engage audiences, and drive meaningful outcomes.
Over 30 years, I've had the privilege of leading and being part of incredible teams, from the bustling offices of major corporations to the heartwarming endeavors at the Love of Brian Farm Sanctuary on my property in Meaford. It's here, among the goats and chickens, that I've learned the most profound lessons of humility and the importance of nurturing connections — lessons that I carry into every project and campaign I undertake.
Diverse Background, Unified Mission
At the heart of my career has been a series of leadership positions where creativity meets strategy. As the Vice President of Marketing at an international tech company, I spearheaded initiatives that doubled our net revenue year over year from 2020 to 2021 and achieved a 13-fold increase from 2015 to 2021.
Our efforts elevated brand awareness from 10% to an impressive 90%, primarily through targeted digital marketing campaigns. This role, among others, underscored my passion for building brands and nurturing them to their full potential.
My freelance consultancy work has further allowed me to support diverse clients, from identifying market opportunities to developing engaging digital content. For a detailed overview of my services, please visit my services.
