I’ve built programs that connect people, performance, and purpose.Today at Maritz, I help brands inspire, engage, and grow through channel partner strategies, incentive programs, and performance-driven engagement solutions that drive measurable sales impact. Career Highlights:• Baptized by fire in experiential marketing on Chevrolet’s Olympic Torch Relay Team, an unforgettable start that led to a decade managing mobile tours and brand activations for clients including Levi’s, GM Card, XM Satellite Radio, and GEICO.• At GEICO, I helped establish and scale the Partnership Marketing division, uniting events, creative marketing, strategic alliances, and business development to drive consistent double-digit annual growth and long-term brand partnerships.• Supported more than 150 restaurants in adapting and thriving during the pandemic through technology innovation, creative marketing, and strong relationships, contributing to Snackpass’s $70M Series B success.Now, I’m channeling that experience into the channel partner ecosystem, empowering brands to motivate their networks, strengthen loyalty, and deliver results through tailored incentive and engagement strategies.Let’s connect if you’re looking to drive growth, deepen partner engagement, or reimagine how your brand inspires performance.
