I lead cross-channel paid media and audience strategy that turns first-party data into measurable growth.
What I'm looking for
At Nordstrom, I lead cross-channel paid media and audience strategy across Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, and Nordstrom Media Network, directing $100M+ in annual media investment. I hold campaigns accountable to ROI, CPA, and conversion targets across SEM, paid social, affiliate, programmatic, video/CTV, and audio.
I use Snowflake Clean Rooms, LiveRamp, and Treasure Data to activate first-party audiences and improve targeting and measurement. My performance optimization work drove an 11% lift in new customer acquisition in 2H 2025, supported by SQL, BI dashboards, attribution modeling, and structured testing.
Previously at Mindshare, I directed $80M+ in national client media budgets and exceeded quarterly ROI goals for 18 consecutive months. I build accountable teams, manage agency and vendor relationships, and advise senior leaders on media investment, measurement, and emerging ad technology.
