In My Own Words
I’m an insights and strategy executive with over 25 years of experience driving growth, innovation, and brand transformation across the media and advertising landscape.
Today, I’m channeling that experience toward my next chapter — the Outdoor Technical Apparel & Equipment industry — where my professional expertise meets my personal passion.
I’ve built a career turning complex data into stories that inspire action — leading consumer insights, market intelligence, and data strategy programs that have influenced billions in revenue. My approach blends analytics with empathy: understanding what drives people, why they connect to certain brands, and how purpose and storytelling turn insights into loyalty.
As a hiker, skier, trail runner, cyclist, and triathlete, I’ve lived the outdoor mindset — and I’m inspired by the brands that fuel performance, adventure, and connection to nature. My goal is to help those brands grow through deeper consumer understanding, smarter data strategy, and more authentic storytelling.
If you’re an outdoor brand or innovator looking to bridge insights, creativity, and growth — let’s connect.
