Experienced Wholesale Marketing Manager

Marketing & Sales

If you're looking to learn more about my background, my experience is rooted in brand and wholesale marketing. Most recently, I served as the North American Wholesale Marketing Manager at Fjällräven, and before that, I held marketing roles at Backcountry and other purpose-driven brands. But titles only tell part of the story. I'm passionate about the power of creative design; how imagery and language can spark emotion and drive connection. I’m continually drawn to the strategic challenge of balancing precision with reach in targeted campaigns, always aiming to elevate both brand and consumer experience. Outside of work, I find inspiration in the outdoors, whether I’m on my mountain bike, skis, or hiking trails. While I appreciate solitude, I’ve learned that shared adventures, like a group ride after work, are often the perfect reset. To me, a product isn’t just something you buy, it’s an entry point to an experience. That belief drives how I build marketing campaigns: creating stories that resonate emotionally and connect meaningfully with the people they’re made for.
