HI! NICE TO MEET YOU!

I am a strategic account and business development leader with over a decade of experience spanning both advertising agencies and brands. At GSD&M, I was named one of Omnicom’s top 50 high performers nationwide and led winning pitches for brands like Zales, Crocs, Hilton, and MD Anderson.

I’ve managed national integrated accounts across healthcare, hospitality, retail, and CPG, with additional depth in financial services (Wells Fargo Advisors, Schwab, MetLife), food and beverage (PepsiCo, Avocados From Mexico, Panda Express), and entertainment (Warner Bros Discovery, Netflix, Disney, YouTube).

On the client side, I launched Belgium’s first digital subscription-based bank, driving 106% customer growth in Year 1 and leading cross-functional initiatives across banking, lending, and investing. I also managed agency ecosystems from RFP to execution.

Previously, I opened Bailey Lauerman’s Los Angeles office as Managing Director, growing Bosch’s U.S. business internationally. I also built Co:Collective’s business development function from the ground up and managed Infiniti’s global account.

With nearly 20 years in luxury, design, and lifestyle marketing, I specialize in moving brands past outdated playbooks and into clear, modern, high-impact growth. I’ve led brand transformations for Farrow & Ball, PANTONE, and Hudson Valley Lighting Group alongside work with startups, manufacturers, and mission-driven organizations, delivering everything from 7-figure partnerships to DTC breakthroughs to globally recognized creative collaborations.

After years in-house, I spent the last 4+ years as a brand strategist and fractional CMO, working with early-stage companies, heritage brands, nonprofits, and teams that needed help getting out of their own way. I’ve seen how fractured and inefficient marketing has become. That’s why joining an agency like Uprated—one that operates like a true partner, with strategy and execution under one roof—felt like the right move.

Today, I serve as Head of Strategy, North America at Uprated—a UK-born agency now expanding stateside—where we help brands align, grow, and deliver with purpose. We act like operators, not order-takers. And we flex to fit what clients actually need, from full-service support to collaborative experts who understand what it really takes to get things done. We work with companies who want bold direction, not busywork—brands with good bones and bigger ambitions.
