I’m a strategic marketing leader with 15+ years building global brands at the intersection of sport, entertainment, and culture.
From leading the SiS brand and shaping global marketing for Amer Sports’ portfolio, including Salomon, Wilson and Arc’teryx — to driving audience growth for NASCAR and digital storytelling for Jaguar Racing, I’ve helped some of the world’s most exciting brands connect with fans in bold and meaningful ways.
I’ve also led sponsorships and partnerships across major sporting leagues and events including the NBA, NFL, F1 and Premier League, blending culture, creativity, and commercial thinking to deliver measurable results. I’ve worked directly with over 50 athletes, connecting them with brands, events, and sponsorships, while building marketing plans that drive awareness, engagement, and performance.
Most recently, I led Cadillac’s launch into F1 — a campaign that reached over 25 million fans in under 24 hours and set a new benchmark for the brand.
