As a marketer and executive leader, I’m known for creating awareness that drives action, forms community, and achieves transformational growth. I'm also a two-time founder, most recently building an activist brand, Swing Left, into a nationwide movement that drove historic electoral wins. My experience largely spans for-profit industries—art, luxury, and tech. Digital comms and brand strategy are my bread and butter. I've designed earned, owned, and shared media strategies that establish relevance and credibility, expand reach, and drive conversion and retention. As a strategist and expert communicator who puts users first, I've created passionate customer ambassadors and word-of-mouth growth. As a senior leader at companies like Artsy and a founder of two successful startups, I also deeply enjoy aligning, inspiring, and serving a team.
