Experienced executive with a demonstrated history of working in both software/SaaS and consumer goods industries.

- Formation and execution of end-to-end digital marketing strategies including organic SEO, content marketing strategies, paid advertising (PPC), email marketing, nurture campaigns, and conversion rate optimization
- Building a B2B SaaS product/marketplace from the ground up
