Bio

I'm a passionate and energetic leader with experience in marketing and demand gen, communications, branding, product, software design, P&L management and business/partner development for high-growth SaaS companies. I love creating and inspiring high-performing teams, and I've been a member of the executive teams at Versapay, PlanSource, PeopleMatter and Benefitfocus (BNFT) for the last 18+ years. I started my career in steel manufacturing in Pittsburgh, and after leading ERP system implementations for several years I moved to Charleston, SC and made the jump to software. I've never looked back. I joined the Benefitfocus team as a Product Manager in 2002 and spent 10 wild years there as the company grew from 50-750 associates. I spent most of my time running product, but later made the switch to marketing, and was surprised to find out how much fun it was! After Benefitfocus, I ran marketing, product and HR at PeopleMatter, a Charleston, SC-based company that provides workforce management software specifically designed for the service industry. PeopleMatter was later acquired by Snag. In 2014, I joined PlanSource (a high-growth benefits tech company) as CMO. While PlanSource is headquartered in Orlando, we set up an office in Charleston and began building an awesome marketing team mostly out of that office. At first, my team focused on building and developing the PlanSource brand (including creating our annual Eclipse conference), and then we switched to building and scaling our demand gen engine. As Chief Commercial Officer, I also ran our insurance carrier and HCM partnerships with companies like Guardian, MetLife, UKG and Sage People. In April of 2019, PlanSource was acquired by Vista Equity Partners, a leading private investment firm focused on building world-class SaaS-based technology companies. PlanSource is in the midst of a 4-year transformation plan to implement the systems and best practices that will take the company to the next level. In late 2021, after 20 years in HR and benefits tech, I decided to embark on a new adventure. I joined the Versapay team as Chief Marketing Officer. Versapay is a fast-growing company that provides a collaborative AR platform that makes billing and payment easy for buyers and sellers. In my spare time (that's a joke, I have no time), I'm a wonderful wife (that's how my husband lists me in his contacts so it must be true), a mother of 3 (children, not dragons), and a Les Mills fitness instructor; I'm certified in Body Combat, Body Pump and GRIT. That's what keeps me sane!
