CMO & Communication Strategist

• Built the full marketing function from scratch: content operations, positioning, sales materials, and editorial system across the agency’s portfolio work and its own brand.
• Launched a strategic communication consulting practice, a net-new billable service the agency had never offered. Turned positioning and messaging work into a differentiated, client-facing capability.
• Led end-to-end brand development for a PE-backed B2B platform: competitive audit across 10+ industry players, 150+ naming candidates across multiple rounds, and complete messaging guidelines from positioning framework to audience-specific playbooks.
• Integrated AI tools into research, content, and deliverable workflows, reducing production time on complex projects without lowering quality standards.
• Led website projects for B2B clients end-to-end, from sitemap and information architecture through page flows and copy, with a focus on how the site supports brand image, and assists the sales conversation

• Grew agency revenue 2.5x over 3 years by rebuilding the lead generation system and launching a client retention program that delivered 3.5x LTV growth.
• Built a reputation-led lead channel with 550% ROMI from scratch. Became the agency’s most consistent acquisition source, a standalone business driver, not a supporting activity.

• Rebuilt the agency website as a commercial asset: restructured service pages and industry positioning around buyer decision logic, improving inbound lead quality.
