Summary

Fourteen years of marketing experience, on both the agency and company sides. Since 2021, my focus has been on responsibility for brand, international campaigns and the systems behind them; since 2024, on marketing leadership as a Fractional CMO and Interim Head of Marketing. I start where purchase decisions are actually made, decide what the brand should stand for, and build the system that follows from it: messaging, campaigns, measurement and the pipeline connected to it. Close enough to execution to take responsibility for the result. Senior enough to decide what not to build.
