What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role where I can lead innovative marketing strategies, foster team collaboration, and drive measurable growth in a forward-thinking company.

I am a marketing leader with over 15 years of experience in both B2C and B2B markets, specializing in go-to-market strategies, brand development, and digital campaigns. My career has been marked by successful collaborations with industry giants such as Meta, PlayStation, and Electronic Arts, where I have consistently delivered impressive ROI and user growth.

Currently, I lead marketing at Imangi Studios, where I have successfully increased monthly active users by 15% for the Temple Run franchise. My previous roles have included driving product marketing for Meta's Identity team and building marketing teams from the ground up at various organizations. I thrive in cross-functional environments and am passionate about leveraging marketing analytics to inform strategic decisions.
