About Me

There's no silver bullet or one-size-fits-all, just my instinct, experience, strategic thinking, and concentration on effective daily execution. I am all about left-brain/right-brain collaboration. I understand business and creativity. I can market a product or develop one. My brain is where data-driven insights meet incredible ideas, a combination that changes brands' futures and how consumers think about them.
