Co-Founder at Goldcast | Helping B2B marketers run engaging events | Harvard Business School
Co-Founder, Goldcast. Took a break from my MBA at Harvard Business School to start the company. Previous experience in consulting (BCG) and General Management (Corporate finance/Acted as Chief of Staff to senior executives). Passionate about the startup ecosystem - entrepreneurship, early-stage startups, and VC investing.
I host the podcast Unthinkable, write the weekly newsletter Playing Favorites, and develop podcasts and docuseries for mission-driven brands, authors, and entrepreneurs. I'm also a frequent keynote speaker, and the author of the book Break the Wheel.
It is my personal, professional mission to help others make work that matters -- to their careers, their companies, and their communities.
I see creativity as a form of problem solving and leadership. It's a means of raising your hand to lead and investigate and improve things, and I want to help others frame their work as such. That can help us see the work and the world better and differently.
Before becoming a content entrepreneur, I held marketing and media roles at Google, HubSpot, and the VC firm NextView.
My biggest ambition and maybe grandest delusion is to be the Anthony Bourdain of business storytelling :)
Founder at <imajery> - A Google Premier Partner performance marketing agency

Founder & CEO at <imajery>
I founded <imajery> in 2010, bringing together a team of talented web designers and developers under one roof. With backgrounds in mathematics, computer science, music, and graphic design, our performance-based approach helped clients across diverse industries achieve revenue and growth.

We achieved tremendous success with Google AdWords (now Google Ads), Facebook and Instagram Ads (now Meta Ads), mass email campaigns, organic social media, and affiliate marketing.

In 2022, Google recognized our efforts, naming <imajery> a Google Premier Partner, placing us in the top 3% of Google Partners in Canada for managing our clients' search engine marketing efforts.

I recently bootstrapped our newest department, the <imajery> data team. We centralize our clients' data for invaluable insights. Our data pipelines and warehouses enable us to provide dashboards and reporting that maximize business success.

As a business psychologist with a strong background in talent management, I have dedicated my career to leveraging psychological science and data to drive meaningful impact within organisations.
By building and leading high-performing, highly engaged teams, I have been able to bring the power of psychometrics and psychological science to bear on the full talent management life cycle, from solution consulting to product design and development.
My passion lies in using good science and data to enable evidence-based decision-making that can help people thrive, both personally and professionally. Through my work, I am constantly striving to bring the insights of psychological science to life and apply them in practical ways that influence business outcomes.
