I build global B2B demand engines that turn paid media, SEO, and ABM into pipeline growth.
What I'm looking for
I’ve led digital marketing and demand generation for HPE Aruba Networking, Silver Peak Systems, Symantec, and Entertainment Benefits Group, building programs that connect SEO, paid media, ABM, and conversion optimization to revenue.
At HPE Aruba Networking, I led digital strategy for a $3B+ networking division, managed a $12M+ global paid media budget, and delivered 4x ROI on pipeline contribution. My integrated digital programs represented 40–55% of total sales pipeline while I led a global team and agency partners across the U.S., Mexico, and India.
I now advise B2B SaaS teams through La Marketing Agency on ad spend strategy, SEO performance, AI-enabled workflows, technology stack opportunities, and demand generation roadmaps built around buyer intent and measurable pipeline contribution.
