About

My career started off working long days at Silicon Valley start-ups. Highlights include leading a large online business development effort for PRM, a high-end destination developer, managing two digital agencies, and building and launching an e-commerce website builder. Today I am the chief marketing officer for a multifamily investment company, where I designed and built a prospect automation pipeline that converts 38% of prospects with no human interaction.

Leading teams to heavily optimize the customer experience through web-based funnels and full prospect automation, pairing UX, development and applied AI with common-sense solutions for fast lead acquisition.
