What I'm looking for
I am a Marketing Automation Manager with over five years of experience in both B2B and B2C markets. My expertise lies in enhancing marketing processes to improve customer experiences, leveraging a strong background in software development, data management, and CRM administration. I am passionate about emerging technologies and user onboarding, and I thrive on mentoring marketing technology teams to drive operational excellence.
In my most recent role at Bench Accounting, I managed the MarkTech stack, optimizing email automation and in-app messaging tools. I successfully reduced contract costs by $10K annually through database hygiene improvements and led a reorganization of Appcues for a smoother user experience. My previous experiences at Blackboard and Accenture have equipped me with the skills to implement advanced automation strategies and data-driven solutions that significantly enhance campaign effectiveness.
