Over the course of my career, I've successfully worked with companies undergoing accelerated business development, change management, website redesign/blog optimization, digital marketing implementation, SEO/SMO improvements, as well as strategic brand and operational transformation initiatives. I excel in my ability to continually leverage my collaborative skill set to get a true understanding of stakeholders’ perspectives and target audience’s needs to create an effective and balanced go-to-market approach. A key component of my responsibilities involves engaging with business units and country teams to educate them on how corporate teams can be used as a strategic partner in operations and more importantly, enabling them with the tools and resources to implement their strategic initiatives successfully. One of my passions is helping junior team members reach their potential and move onto leadership roles.
