Athene is relentless when it comes to creating an innovative portfolio of fixed annuities to meet accumulation and retirement income needs

I’ve always been drawn to the opportunity to blaze a new trail. That’s why I’m right where I belong at Athene. We do things differently. We embrace innovation and aren’t afraid to move quickly when it’s the right thing to do for our customers or employees. That’s why I know I can make a difference here. It’s satisfying to meet the challenges of a constantly changing market and lead our marketing team toward success. As Head of Marketing, I prize collaboration as the best opportunity to move forward as a group and reach our goals. When we’re all rowing in the same direction, the distance is never as daunting. Every day I lead our team by: • planning the strategy for our marketing team, and working with the Athene leadership team to best align my team with the company vision and goals • making sure everything we do—from priorities and processes to operational support—fits within the broader Athene culture and delivers for our customers • fostering an environment of personal development, guiding team members on day-to-day initiatives as well as long-term career growth I feel responsible not only for the success of our team and our brand, but for each of the individuals who work with me. Their success is my success—and Athene’s as well—so I invest in guiding and developing their talent. Outside the office, I look for adventure. My biggest daily adventure is my family and their activities. We live on seven acres of farmland, and there’s always a fresh challenge we can tackle together. From raising our herd of cattle to rehabbing a rundown farmhouse, it’s a great feeling when I help make an ambitious idea become a reality.
