I help technology platforms find their story and scale it globally

15+ years building and marketing platform businesses at Salesforce, Box, MuleSoft, Google Cloud, WeWork, Matterport and Canva. I turn developer love into business growth engines and complex platform offerings into category-defining narratives.

A good platform is a good story — a good story is also a good platform

I'm a marketing executive who believes the best technology companies are built on narratives that serve as rallying cries. I have the receipts.

I helped take Box, MuleSoft, and Matterport public by mobilizing our cross-functional teams around platform storytelling and go-to-market strategy that delivered up to 4-7X growth, and hundreds of millions in revenue impact.

At Salesforce, Google, and Canva, I led product launches, partner programs and large-scale campaigns that ensured our ecosystem play was a multiplier to the business.

Today, I advise select startups and brands navigating the AI era as a fractional leader and advisor— helping them find their voice at the intersection of product truth, customer needs, and market timing.

Let's talk

I work with technology companies that want their platform story to unlock the next stage of growth.

As a fractional leader, I can help with marketing strategy, developer and partner ecosystem growth, go-to-market orchestration, and product positioning and messaging.
