Marketing strategist.

AI-native.

I help companies build marketing systems powered by AI to supercharge their growth in a fast-changing world.

Core Capabilities

AI-Augmented Strategy

Designing marketing workflows where AI handles the heavy lifting—content generation, research synthesis, competitive analysis—while keeping humans in the loop at every decision point that matters.

B2B Growth & Internationalization

From buyer persona research to multilingual go-to-market plans, building the strategy companies need to expand into new European markets with positioning that resonates locally and scales regionally.

Data-Driven Decision Making

Turning raw analytics into clear strategic direction—identifying what’s working, what’s not, and where the highest-leverage opportunities are hiding in the data.

Digital Presence & Content

SEO architecture, social strategy, and content systems that build compounding visibility—so your marketing works harder over time, not just in the moment.
