I am a strategic operator by trade and a marketer by training.

I have spent the last 15 years in high growth CPG environments.

I bring a unique combination of large and small company experience. I had the privilege of being at Clif Bar for nearly a decade during one of their highest growth periods. Contributing to 500% growth as a natural foods brand grew to land in every national retailer and build the bar to what it is today was training and experience equal to my Haas MBA. I then rolled up my sleeves as an Executive at Navitas Organics, where I built out the team and evolved the products from a commodity space to a lifestyle brand, all while integrating CPG best practices into company operations.

I am a brand operator and business manager who understands what it takes to sustain high growth and change. I get the unique combination of nimbleness, strategy, flexibility, structure, enthusiasm and hustle required to navigate todays’ retail demands.
 
With a highly collaborative, team centered approach I apply both analytics and passion to get the most out of the business. I partner with you and your team to get to where you need in the style and approach that fits your culture.  
 
My favorite analogy for what it’s like building a high-growth business: “we are building the ship as we are sailing it many days there are storms, some times we change course. ”
 
Grab a tool and let’s start moving.

Born and raised in the Midwest with a large family, I value connection, warmth and authenticity. Having spent the last 20 years in the Bay Area I have built up a drive and hunger for entrepreneurship, garnered a Haas MBA and a regular habit of exploring the outdoors.

I keep my tank full with giggles from my kids and a regular yoga and meditation practice (certified Vinyasa and Kundalini teacher.) I enjoy abstract painting and regularly collect inspiration in nature. I engage in continual learning and inspiration as an adjunct professor in branding and differentiation at the Culinary Institute of America.
