Content marketing strategy and execution for brands with something to say

United States

I’m a B2B content marketing strategist based in Southeast Michigan with 20 years of content experience across multiple formats.

Currently, I'm the Director of Content Marketing at Vitally. I previously served as the VP of Marketing at Nutshell, where I grew the company's content program into Nutshell's best source of sales-qualified leads, generating over $1MM/year in lifetime revenue value.
