As the Chief Growth Officer at Marana Group, I lead the company\'s growth strategy, both domestically and internationally, to develop new partnerships and deepen existing ones within our impressive portfolio of clients. With over 15 years of experience in the visual communications industry, I have a proven track record of delivering engaging and effective solutions that inspire consumers to action. I have worked with some of the most successful brands in the retail, grocery, CPG, C-store, quick service, fast-casual, and entertainment categories, helping them leverage their existing assets and optimize their operations.I am also passionate about making a positive impact in the community, which is why I serve as a Board Member at Gerry\'s Cafe, a social enterprise that provides employment and training opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I am committed to driving the cafe\'s mission forward, ensuring that it becomes a thriving destination that not only offers craft food and beverage, but also raises awareness and promotes a more inclusive society.
