About me

I’m a zero-to-one marketing, content, partnerships, and ops leader with a decade of experience building venture-backed startups and growing products used by millions.

Most recently, I was Head of Growth Marketing at Medium, where I oversaw the platform’s full stack of email channels — marketing, content, transactional, newsletters, and more — reaching millions of readers and writers daily. 

Before that, I was part of the four-person founding team of Knowable, an a16z-backed e-learning app acquired by Medium. At Knowable, I led content production, creator acquisition, marketing, brand strategy, partnerships, content licensing, and more.

Before Knowable, the same team and I built Digital Objects, one of the world’s first Web3 marketplaces for artists and collectors, and Vidme, a social video platform acquired by GIPHY. 

I started my career in the entertainment business at top Hollywood agencies WME and UTA working with star clients including Denzel Washington, Angelina Jolie, and Harrison Ford.
