The Intersection of Storytelling & Scalable Revenue
Communication and audience engagement are quite literally in my DNA. Raised in a family with a 80-year legacy in radio broadcasting, I spent 16 years as a media executive learning exactly how to capture attention, build community, and craft narratives that truly resonate.
Today, I bring that mastery of storytelling to the forefront of commercial strategy. As commercial executive, I specialize in transforming complex technological innovations into scalable, high-growth business outcomes. I partner with visionary leaders to bridge the gap between engineering, sales, and marketing, building the resilient commercial frameworks that allow technical companies to penetrate hard markets and shape new industry standards.
Operating Principles
Driving revenue growth by treating marketing not as corporate fluff, but as a strategic extension of the manufacturing floor, fed by capital efficiency and ruthless execution.

The Manufacturing Floor
Capital Efficiency
Ruthless Execution
You cannot effectively sell or scale what you do not fundamentally understand. I operate at the exact intersection of sales, engineering, and product. By getting my hands on the hardware, I ensure what engineering builds is exactly what sales can sell.
I thrive in startup and scale-up phases where constraints are a reality. I believe in the power of working with less. Lean environments force inventive scrappiness, allowing us to engineer aggressive growth strategies without burning cash to see results.
Ideas are cheap, execution is the ultimate differentiator. A brilliant go-to-market plan means nothing if it cannot be operationalized on the ground. When the technology works and the execuction is tight, marketing simply becomes the amplifier for the truth.
The Person Behind the Strategy
Choosing a strategic partner is also a values decision. Who we are personally and professionally is never fully separate.
Growth is not just a spreadsheet exercise. It is a human one. Behind every revenue strategy, market-entry plan, investor narrative, or commercial framework are people making decisions, taking risks, building something, and trusting someone to help them get it right.
That is how I approach my work. When we work together, you are not just getting 25+ years of revenue strategy, commercial leadership, and growth architecture. You are getting someone who believes how we bilud matters as much as what we build.
I am a mother of three, and my middle daughter lives with a severe chromosomal condition called diploid/triploid mosaicism. Caring for her has shaped nearly every part of how I see life, leadership, and work. It has taught me urgency, patience, advocacy, resilience, and the difference between what looks important and what actually is. When time is previous, you get very clear about what deserves your energy.
That clarity follows me into business. I care about meaningful work. I care about solving real problems. I care about building things that create value, open doors, strengthen teams, and leave something better than it was before.
I do not believe ambition requires cruelty. I do not play corporate games, hoard credit, or confuse politics with leadership. I believe in direct conversations, honest strategy, thoughtful execution, and treating people well even when the pressure is high.
Outside of work, I am someone who loves movement, watching live sports, playing fantasy football, stories, and discovery. You will find me reading, relaxing in a sound bath meditation, running, playing golf, working out at Orange Theory, cheering at a UT women's basketball game, thrifting, hiking, kayaking, spending time with my children, listening to my vintage vinyl, in church or finding my way to a new place in the world. Part of me will always love media and radio, the timing, the message, the voice, the ability to make people feel something and understand something at the same time.
At the end of the day, I’m a human being first. I value honesty, transparency,, integrity and I want to contribute positively to the world around me. I stand in the trenches with tech leaders because I genuinely care about their vision and the legacy they are trying to create.
I want to build meaningful things with people who care about both the outcome and the way we get there.
