A proven leader who excels as a pivotal business partner by collaborating with cross-functional teams. Demonstrated ability to learn and teach new concepts, easily adapt to change and manage numerous simultaneous tasks.  
Successful team builder and leader who recognizes the necessity to develop and train an extremely efficient staff.  Innovative, high-energy professional with excellent organizational and communication skills and the capacity to assume increasingly significant responsibilities. 

Leadership & Teamwork

  • Responsible for the systems, tools and people within the Marketing Strategy & Insights team, my focus is on strategic planning to support the global marketing managers and establishing a Digital Demand Center for the Google for Work team. 

  • As a strategic point of contact for Product Marketing Managers; I consult on industry best practices, data segmentation and campaign optimization.

  • Leading the creation and management of marketing automation initiatives, which has resulted in a significant increase to middle of funnel conversion rates.

Responsive & Interactive

  • In my current role as cross-functional liaison with Sales Ops and the Business Systems teams, I collaborate on data stewardship initiatives and market intelligence projects; building business requirements documents and establishing success metrics. 

  • The Google for Work organization has scaled significantly over the past five years;  I have found it crucial to forge relationships with internal business units and senior management to share pertinent information. This has allowed us to create self-managing teams with shared common goals. 

Keeping the Lights On

  • In addition to overseeing day to day operations, I also manage strategic vendor relationships to ensure that production quality standards are maintained.
