What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead marketing operations and martech as an AI-first systems builder—owning CRM, attribution, and automation end to end—partnering closely with sales and finance to scale pipeline with a lean, high-output team.

I’m a marketing technology and marketing operations leader who builds the systems that make strategy real. With seven-plus years across B2B SaaS—marketing operations, revenue operations, and the technical infrastructure underneath—I focus on automation, attribution, and tooling that scales lean teams.

Most recently, I was the sole marketing resource across two merged healthcare SaaS brands, owning everything end to end from CRM architecture and attribution reporting to AI-assisted application development and full-funnel execution. I served as the connective tissue between marketing, sales, and finance, partnering with the CRO and executive team on go-to-market strategy, launches, and business reviews.

My approach is AI-first: I ship internal tools with LLMs and Cursor, design attribution models in BigQuery, and architect automation that powers lifecycle and nurture execution. I’ve built custom Next.js prospect-intelligence applications deployed on Vercel, integrated with Salesforce, HubSpot, and proprietary APIs to deliver real-time insights and automated reporting.

I also own the operational foundation—HubSpot as a centralized system of record, the revenue-operations side of Salesforce, executive dashboards, lead attribution and routing models, and performance reporting. Alongside full P&L accountability for a $500K+ annual marketing budget, I deploy tools like Zapier to multiply throughput across content generation, campaign optimization, data analysis, and workflow automation.
