Positive Experiences. Positive Results. Positively Refreshing.

Positive Experiences. Positive Results. Positively Refreshing.

People say I’m inspired, experienced, and results focused. It makes me blush, but if you see my work and meet me, you’ll probably agree.

With start-ups, I’m often a CEO’s best confidant for a successful launch. For mid-sized companies, I’m the go-to person who builds teams and develops integrated marketing campaigns and lead generation programs that will even impress sales!

I have a deep understanding of marketing security technology, fraud prevention and SaaS solutions. I have established global marketing programs and consistently increased awareness, leads and revenues for companies. I’ve done multiple company and product launches, branding, PR, event, social media and lead generation activities (direct and channel).

Feel free to peruse my portfolio in technology, clean tech, and great causes, and if my experience matches your needs and you want to see your business grow, I’d be happy to share more about these and other experiences.

Develop an identity and website that communicates the value proposition that people can offset their environmental impact as consumers.

The Impact
The Cooler site was designed to educate about the impact of the things people buy, while also encouraging them to shop online through the site. Their purchases were then made carbon neutral using the highest quality offsets, advised by NRDC, Environmental Defense, National Wildlife Federation and the Gold Standard.
