Rancho Mission Viejo, CAIn My Own Words
Throughout the last 16 years, I've had the chance to work with big-name companies that everyone knows, to small startups that are building their first product. Even though they're all different in size and what they do, they all share one thing in common - they all want to grow.
This shared goal motivates me to concentrate on areas of business that lead to immediate growth and learn ways to accelerate business activities.
Here’s what I’ve done so far:
- Scaled brands from $1.5 million to $6 million, $16 million to $31 million, $64 million to $200 million, and $750 million to $1.2 billion in revenue. 1X exit in luxury fashion.
- Have managed marketing budgets of $75 million.
- Built and managed marketing teams of 30 plus people.
- Owned full P&L
Some cool brands I’ve worked with along the way:
Fender, Louis Vuitton, Brookstone, Hurley, Tilly’s, Rag & Bone, CV Sciences, Hard Tail Forever, Stetson, Cartier, Frye Boots, Honeywell, John Varvatos
Here’s what I’m working on today:
- Constantly focusing on growth both professionally and personally.
- Building my network.
- Teaching other marketers how to create successful strategies and marketing teams.
- Working with small to mid-sized businesses on a 1-1 basis.
- Building strong relationships between companies and their customers and helping companies understand that to grow successfully, they need to really know who they are, who they're selling to, and what the market looks like.
- Always focusing on creating consumer value and driving sustainable, long-term growth.
