Resume
After nearly a decade of experience in startup environments, I've been able to use my versatile experience to develop automation products that allow people to focus on the work they love.
I started out in marketing strategy and executed on integrated marketing campaigns and marketing automation. I transitioned into consulting, advising Fortune 500 digital leaders on SEO strategy and analytics. Along with consulting, I was able to use my technical skills to build software that automated SEO keyword research, technical audits and sales upsell identification.
At Data Skrive, I'm leading the team towards a product that generates automated content from data, and is used by the Associated Press, NASCAR, the MiLB and Catena Media.
