A little bit about who I am

What has distinguished me in my career is innate curiosity for answering businesses most complex data problems. Constantly learning is a core part of who I am and what I bring to the team.

I work in analytics at Twilio focusing on our marketing pipeline performance, campaign efficiency, strategic planning and marketing data storytelling. I manage a high performing analytics team that transforms business data into storylines. My team analyzes both product-led growth funnels & sales-assisted funnels to create a cohesive growth marketing and demand generation narrative. The team I lead achieves this through combining disparate data with code & visualizing in our business intelligence visualization tools.

What you should know about working with me:
*I am constantly questioning why things are done the way that they are done in a business - this has led me to identify the root cause of business problems.

*I excel at using data to diagnose the bottlenecks in a go-to-market strategy in sales and marketing.

*The most satisfying part of my career has been helping others take these insights and building actionable plans to solve real business challenges.

EVERFI was acquired. by Blackbaud for $750M. Prior to that I helped scale a start-up from less than $500K in ARR to over $13M in revenue. Social Tables was acquired by Cvent in a 9 figure deal.
