What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a senior social role where I can lead organic-first, cross-channel strategy, drive measurable audience and revenue growth, mentor teams, and translate complex products into clear, platform-native storytelling.

I am a senior social media leader with 10+ years building organic-first strategies across B2B, B2C, entertainment, and emerging tech brands. I translate complex narratives into platform-native storytelling, using audience-first frameworks, performance insights, and community-led activations to amplify relevance and drive measurable growth.

I've led omni-channel strategies across LinkedIn, X, YouTube, and Meta, scaled audiences and revenue (including 52% YoY LinkedIn follower growth and 1.7x ROAS), managed and grew teams, and executed high-impact campaigns in life sciences, DeFi/Web3, and entertainment. I partner cross-functionally to turn product and research into clear social narratives and establish KPIs and benchmarks that inform content optimization and planning.
