I'm a Creative Director with 20 years of experience in the Tech and Healthcare industries. I believe that good ideas come from anywhere and anyone and I've dedicated myself to ensuring that those good ideas are executed to their greatest potential. My focus is to learn the essence of any topic, break it down to its core and then communicate it in the most relevant and compelling way possible.

2014 - 2025

AprilSix

Head of Design and Digital

Responsible for all creative and dev product for the US office of this B2B technology integrated marketing agency. I joined as employee #5 in the San Francisco office, the first creative in the US. My role was to build and lead the creative and dev teams, direct projects from pre-brief through delivery, while also developing a broad range of service offerings for clients like AWS, Docker, Demandbase, Sage, Pure Storage, Symantec, Qlik, VMware and Box, to name a few. The most significant accomplishment was building and managing the team that serviced AWS for a span of 6 years. During that time we ran the vast majority of AWS global demand campaigns that equated to tens of millions of revenue for AprilSix and billions in pipeline for AWS.
