I’m a partner success leader with 15+ years in retail and CPG marketing technology. I’ve managed a $15–20M partner portfolio with 100% retention and 98%+ fund utilization, and I’ve advised major CPG brands on strategy changes that delivered $10M+ in incremental profit. I’m at my best as the bridge between what a partner needs and what the business can deliver: building trust, aligning cross-functional teams, and turning complex programs into measurable growth.
