What I'm looking for
I’m a growth marketing executive with 20+ years driving scalable revenue across financial services and fintech. I specialize in customer acquisition, lifecycle marketing, and performance media—turning data and customer insights into measurable business impact.
As Head of Brand & Digital Marketing at JPMorgan Chase, I lead brand strategy, digital marketing, and integrated media for Chase, directing a team of 5 and managing a $55M annual paid media and production budget to deliver double-digit growth and elevate brand equity. I’ve conceived and launched the customer-insight-driven brand platform “All the way home,” and led multi-channel paid media campaigns spanning online video, broadcast TV, CTV, social, streaming audio, digital out-of-home, and programmatic display.
I bring a strong AI-driven optimization mindset, building full-funnel acquisition strategies across paid and owned channels while elevating creative standards through rigorous performance analytics. Across roles at Harte Hanks, Merkle, and Huntington National Bank, I’ve led omnichannel growth initiatives that delivered results such as +13% incremental lift in digital paid media, +21% revenue growth via acquisition and onboarding journeys, and +$300M in new deposits through a Private Bank rebrand.
