What I'm looking for

Seeking a fully remote Director, Head of, VP, or executive-level role leading marketing, growth, digital strategy, AI-enabled transformation, or go-to-market. I bring a builder’s mindset, cross-functional leadership, and a track record of creating scalable systems, aligning teams, and driving measurable business growth.

I am a marketing executive, entrepreneur, and strategic growth leader with 17+ years of experience building brands, developing growth strategies, leading cross-functional initiatives, and translating business objectives into measurable results. I am an American Marketing Association Professional Certified Marketer (PCM) in Marketing Management and hold an M.S. in Marketing with a concentration in Digital Marketing.

As founder and marketing executive of JD Snapshot, I lead strategy across digital growth, integrated marketing, lead generation, customer acquisition, content, marketing automation, funnels, SEO, brand positioning, and emerging AI-enabled operations. My work has supported organizations ranging from growing businesses to major brands including HelloFresh and AmeriHealth Caritas.

My leadership experience extends beyond marketing. I have held executive responsibilities spanning strategy, operations, organizational management, vendor relationships, financial oversight, and cross-functional execution—including leadership of seven departments and responsibility for a $750K+ annual operating budget. My background also includes higher education, nonprofit leadership, media, communications, and marketing instruction.

Increasingly, my work sits at the intersection of marketing, artificial intelligence, automation, and organizational transformation. I develop AI-enabled workflows, agentic systems, marketing automation, and scalable operating processes designed to improve productivity, decision-making, customer acquisition, and growth.

I am also pursuing a Doctor of Business Administration, strengthening my expertise in strategy, leadership, research, governance, and evidence-based decision-making.

I bring the perspective of both an executive and a builder: I can establish the vision, align stakeholders, create the operating framework, and remain close enough to execution to ensure the strategy produces results. I am particularly well suited for Director, Head of Marketing/Growth, VP, and executive-level opportunities focused on growth, digital transformation, AI-enabled marketing, strategy, and organizational scale.
