π¨π¦ I'm a fractional CMO and marketing advisor to startups and scaleups π π In 2004, I founded one of the first virtual assistance businesses in Canada. My very first client was a startup in Silicon Valley that I worked with until they were acquired by Ancestry.com for $100M. π In 2008, I pivoted the company to a marketing agency and provided services to many of the worldβs leading brands, including Disney, Microsoft, Post, Ford, and Alliance Films. π₯ As social media rose in popularity, I worked with Hollywood actors, best-selling authors, and professional speakers to craft their personal brands and build communities of raving fans. π In 2017, I joined L-SPARK, a B2B SaaS accelerator, where I led their marketing and community-building efforts while also advising and mentoring the startups in the program. π In 2020, I then joined Fellow, a B2B SaaS platform for meeting productivity and team management, as their first head of marketing hire. π° In the media, my work have been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, TechCrunch, The Wall Street Journal, The Globe & Mail, and more. π Iβm a TEDx speaker and have delivered talks on social media, community, brand, and marketing on stages around the world. π€ I am also the Chair of the Entrepreneurship Program Advisory Committee at Algonquin College, the Ottawa Chapter Co-Lead for the Slack Platform Community, and a digital marketing instructor at the Telfer School of Business.
