Founder and Principal Consultant
With 30 years of marketing experience I’ve been laser targeted on Marketing Automation for 10 years, seven of those as a Salesforce Certified Pardot Consultant, and more recently a HubSpot Expert.
Since I’ve worked with a lot of clients in various industries I’ve seen several of the same struggles that are common to almost all organizations (as outlined in this article). With each organization and project that I’m involved with I work hard to solve many of those typical problems, plus identifying and solving sometimes unique and complex issues which often involve cleaning up technical debt from legacy systems and helping organizations set up effective lead management systems using best practices and proven methodologies.
I also love dogs :0)
