Data-driven PPC and marketing automation leader helping brands scale through ruthless experimentation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Director/Owner focused on Branding and Pay Per Click Advertising, guided by the idea that “If you torture the data long enough, it will confess.” I build performance systems around marketing automation, multi-channel execution, and decision-making through marketing data reporting.
Before leading my own services, I managed and optimized PPC and Amazon advertising at scale—handling about 70 Amazon advertising accounts in a FBA aggregator team, and running PPC campaigns across Amazon digital channels like Sponsored Products, Brands, Display, and DSP. I’m used to turning results into detailed analysis and client-ready presentations, plus recommending listing optimizations and supervising storefront creation and optimization.
My approach connects growth hypotheses to behavior and measurement: I helped launch 30-40 growth experiments per month using the Pirate (AARRR) framework, with ruthless kill/scale testing based on KPIs. I also bring hands-on expertise across analytics and experimentation tools—Google Analytics, A/B testing, AARRR funnel thinking—and I’m certified in Google AdWords (search advertising).
