> Former Chief Brand Officer at Hannah Grey VC.

I was most recently Chief Brand Officer at Hannah Grey VC.

I helped founders in shaping brand development, content, and go-to-market strategy to accelerate growth, aiming to transform early-stage companies into household names. I also led our thesis-building thought leadership platform called Cultural Vibrations.

Prior to Hannah Grey VC, I was the CMO at Virtual Dining Concepts, SVP at MediaLink, and spent nearly 15 years on the agency side, including nearly at decade at Publicis Media agencies where I last served as SVP, Global Head of Futures & Innovation at Blue 449 (now Spark Foundry). 

Having made the transition from the world of Brand/Marketing/Advertising to VC has made me realize how much of an opportunity there is for seasoned professionals to contribute to the startup ecosystem, for mutual benefit. Existing knowledge can be leveraged for advisory positions, freelance work, and the ability to earn equity in high-growth startups. 

I’m offering time to fellow Marketing veterans to offer advice on how to capitalize on this murky and often misunderstood overlap between industries.

Things I can advise on: 
✔️ A 101 on how Marketing / GTM works at startups and VC firms vs agencies and brands
✔️ How to get involved with the startup ecosystem and apply your knowledge to VC firms and startups
✔️ How Brand Strategy, Positioning, Channel Strategy, Media, and Sales from the Marketing world directly plays into the success of high growth startups
✔️ How to sharpen, hone, and position your skill set to prepare for VC or startup advisory positions
✔️ Identifying how your career experience in Brand, Marketing, and Advertising can be leveraged to deliver value to the startup ecosystem within 30 days
✔️ & more 

I am very passionate about sharing all of my learnings with others on similar journeys. 

Excited to connect!
