What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead integrated, revenue-focused marketing programs that connect demand generation, ABM, customer engagement, partner marketing, and strategic events to measurable business growth across diverse markets.

I'm leading integrated marketing across North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean at Blackboard, driving demand generation, ABM, partner marketing, customer engagement, pipeline acceleration, and strategic events. I work closely with sales leadership and use 6sense, Salesforce, and Marketo to support data-driven execution.

Over 16+ years, I've built revenue-focused marketing and communications programs at Blackboard, Sancho BBDO, TP, Bizagi, Hill+Knowlton Strategies, and Edelman. I've led regional teams, 20+ annual events, thought leadership initiatives including the Antología documentary series, and integrated campaigns that connect customer engagement with measurable business growth.
