At SYSTM FOODS, I led Humm Kombucha's premium repositioning across 16 SKUs, advancing new messaging, packaging strategy, and visual identity to consumer testing in under six months.

I also restructured the marketing agency and content production ecosystem, reducing annual expenses by $156K while improving paid media performance by 30% ROAS. I used consumer surveys, retail data, shopper insights, and DTC and Amazon analytics to inform brand positioning and product innovation.

At AeroPress, I developed a repeatable New Product Development and Go-to-Market framework and launched more than 10 products, including AeroPress Premium. Integrated campaigns delivered 50% year-over-year Black Friday/Cyber Monday revenue growth, while email and lifecycle marketing increased subscribers by 120%.

At Nutribullet, I led a brand repositioning and launched nine products that came to represent nearly 15% of annual brand revenue. Earlier, at THE WONDERFUL COMPANY, I led FIJI Water sustainable packaging initiatives and directed a $1M digital launch campaign for Wonderful Pistachios No Shells flavors.
