DNA

For the better part of my career, I've been immersed in Sales and Marketing. You could say it's in my DNA.

I've played progressive leadership sales & marketing roles with an iconic global leader that has helped millions of sleep deprived, frustrated consumers get a better night's sleep with innovative sleep products.

 

Along the way, I've developed a deep arsenal of skills and talents driving revenue, consumer awareness and brand affinity.

 

Developing solid, long-term partnerships with leading retailers, I've connected millions of Canadian consumers find best-loved mattresses.

Through my journey, I have been blessed to lead highly talented creative marketers and skilled salespeople, that as a team, we built the rocket fuel to connect consumers during their purchase journey and drive dominant market share in Canada. 

PLAY TO WIN

Winning

If you want to win, you can't stand still.

I'm experienced in retail consumer product marketing + sales. With experience comes wisdom.  I've learned from successes.  I've probably learned more from failure.  I'm focused on driving market share, revenue and profit.

You needed to constantly inspire your team to evolve.  Remind them to work smarter, run faster than the best competitor and trust them to take smart risks.

CREATIVE & STRATEGIC

Creative

I'm creative at the core.  I'm strategic.  A nerd for data.

 

If you ask others, they will say that's what makes me stand out. 

I have a curiosity for continuous learning.   I love to tear things apart to see how they work.  And then rebuild them - better. 

 

Effective marketing must be born from mind and heart.  Data analytics & insights meshed with powerful storytelling that cuts the clutter and connects consumer love - with authenticity.
