B2B Marketing Leader | Professional & Financial Services

I've spent 9+ years in B2B marketing across accounting and advisory firms, insurance and agency work. I build the programs that turn a firm's expertise and client relationships into pipeline: thought leadership, client stories, buyer research and campaigns that sales teams actually use.

Marketing strategy playbook

How I’d start or grow marketing at a B2B technology or professional services company. The first 30 days are for listening and auditing. After that the plan splits into two 90-day paths, one for building marketing from scratch and one for growing a team that’s already running. Both paths run quick wins alongside slower foundation work and measure everything from a baseline.

Bringing AI into a marketing team

A 90-day plan for AI adoption in a marketing team. It starts with picking the right tasks, then sets clear rules on data and review, pilots with a few champions on real work, and finishes by training everyone and building AI into daily workflows. It draws on my experience leading the marketing side of an AI rollout across a 28-person team.

Customer marketing program

A plan for a global services firm to turn long client relationships into case studies, references and partner proof. It covers which clients to start with, one shared flow for every story, a permission ladder that lets each client choose how public to go, what each internal team gets back, and how to measure success in years one and two. Client and company names have been removed.
