Sr. Product & Lifecycle Marketing Manager
B2B SaaS | PLG | 14 years experience
Marketing doesn’t work in a silo, and neither do I.
I’ve built growth from the inside out: embedded in Sales, plugged into Product, and focused on what makes users convert, adopt, and stay. I’ve driven 21× activation gains, built narratives that convert, and beat expansion targets by over 40% through lifecycle campaigns that turned customers into our biggest growth driver.
