Brand, partnerships & customer strategy

Senior brand & customer strategy leader · New York

Moments that matter.
Experiences with meaning.
Loyalty that lasts.

I find the opportunity beneath the brief, connect what’s been treated separately, make the case for what should happen next, and build it with the people who have to make it real.

The work has spanned brand, partnerships, digital and social, loyalty and customer experience. The disciplines change. The through-line doesn’t.

What a brand says in a crisis starts with what it stops.
