Welcome to CMO Growth Guide, built by a marketer who’s been in the trenches both as an entrepreneur and as a hired marketer

I’m a Chief Marketing Officer, Advisor, and Educator to Founders with 20 years of hands-on experience growing brands, creating social media templates & AI prompts, and building demand and lead generation systems. 

I created CMO Growth Guide to help founders and early-stage startups master the essential marketing systems that actually move the needle, without needing to hire a full-time marketing team.

Over the years, I’ve led marketing at startups, scaleups, agencies, and enterprise brands. I’ve served as CMO at Talking-Talent and fractional CMO at SMBs, VP of Digital Marketing at Techstars, and held leadership roles at organizations like Good Sam / Camping World, American Humane Association, and an Ogilvy agency. I've also worked at Fortune 500 companies like Transamerica. 

Working across many sectors, Tech, SaaS, Services, Real Estate, Finance, and more, and having taught marketing at places like General Assembly and SCORE, I learned quickly how to help founders grow their businesses. Whether I’m advising a founder one-on-one or speaking on a course for entrepreneurs, I’m passionate about turning complex marketing strategies into simple, repeatable systems.
