A Global Business and Marketing Executive with strong accomplishments in strategy development, marketing innovation, communications, and results measurement within the technology and healthcare sectors. I have deep IT industry experience in addition to Healthcare and Medical Devices. I drive transformational growth by aligning Marketing and Communications strategy with business objectives – sometimes this includes bringing a strategy back on track, consolidating or restructuring operations, and sometimes it is about starting an entirely new approach. Always it includes setting a clear strategy, driving functional excellence, and measuring functional and program results. I accomplish this with and through a leadership team where I foster trust, empowerment, and a common sense of purpose. I am consistently acknowledged by team members as a true advocate, authentic, bold, and inclusive. A global citizen, I have strong multi-cultural experience having lived and worked for 15 years in North America, South Africa, and Asia.
