What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles that leverage fintech marketing and editorial leadership, offer strategic ownership, cross-functional collaboration, and opportunities to scale global partnerships and revenue.

I am a marketing executive with deep experience in fintech, crypto, and policy-driven communications, focused on data-informed strategy and brand storytelling.

As Chief Marketing Officer I executed global marketing strategies that delivered 15% year-over-year revenue growth and expanded brand presence into three international markets.

Previously, as Chief Content Editor I led a team that produced 1,000+ financial reports and investor materials with a 96% satisfaction score and authored the 2023 Financial Predictions Book cited in industry reports.

I combine advanced analytical skills, editorial judgment, and cross-sector advocacy experience to build partnerships, streamline workflows, and drive measurable impact.
