Bio

I get tremendous energy from leading teams to take on and overcome immense challenges. Earlier in my career, I helped Microsoft and Salesforce achieve triple-digit revenue growth rates by focusing on our customers' thorniest problems. I brought this same approach to RocketFuel & Percolate where I focused on strategies that help make marketing more meaningful. Since selling Percolate to Seismic, I have been focused on helping the world's largest companies bridge the go-to-market gap. What do I mean? Today, buyers are overwhelmed by an information deluge from myriad devices. To break through this clutter, today's marketers must realize that the moment a piece of content appears, and the space (or context) in which it appears, are not independent variables—they’re mutually dependent. In fact, the potential for marketers to create amazing experiences for their buyers that yield real results is rooted in a marketing “space-time” continuum lived in micro-moments. When I was at RocketFuel, we helped marketers find the optimal moments to reach consumers along this continuum. At Percolate, our team helps marketers deliver personalized experiences that consumers crave via story orchestration. And, now, at Seismic, we help marketers and sellers create a consistent experience for buyers across all touchpoints. When I’m not at work, I love being outdoors with my family. road biking, skiing, and coaching my rambunctious boys on the soccer, baseball or football field keeps it all real. Early in my career, I spent 12 years in the Navy, and I’m deeply passionate about veterans affairs, which is why I co-founded Vetforce.org at Salesforce.com. Finally, I care a lot about children's’ education and have served on the YMCA--Embarcadero and the Boyer’s Children’s Clinic's Board over the years.
