About me

I am a strategic commercial marketing leader with more than 10 years of experience driving brand visibility, consumer engagement, and revenue growth across premium spirits portfolios. I have built my career around creating integrated marketing strategies that connect brands with consumers and deliver measurable business results.

I have led national campaigns, managed multi-million-dollar budgets, and developed high-performing teams across commercial marketing, on-premise marketing, and customer marketing functions. My work has included brand activations, sponsorships, retail campaigns, and consumer pull-through programs designed to increase trial, loyalty, and market impact.

I have also partnered closely with sales teams and account stakeholders to execute commercial strategies at scale. In my roles, I have overseen large budgets, launched new programs, and used market and consumer insights to guide planning and execution.

My experience includes leadership across major beverage and spirits organizations, where I managed both direct and indirect reports and contributed to category growth, KPI performance, and national visibility for priority brands. I have been trusted to lead complex initiatives that require cross-functional coordination and strong operational discipline.

I bring a blend of brand strategy, customer marketing, and field execution experience, along with a strong understanding of premium spirits, on-premise channels, and consumer engagement. I am comfortable working across creative, sales, and operational teams to deliver campaigns that support growth.

I hold a B.S. in Business Management and additional certifications in spirits and wine education. My background reflects a commitment to commercial excellence, team leadership, and building marketing programs that create both brand value and revenue growth.
