I have led Brand and Communications programs at a wide range of companies, from some of the most well-known venture capital firms (Forerunner and Social Capital), to small scrappy startups that saw notable acquisitions (Modern Fertility was acquired by Ro for $225M after ~4 years of operation as a ~25 person team). I have worked on everything from strategic positioning, executive thought leadership, social media strategy and brand partnerships, to crisis communications, media relations, and overall brand building.

I spent 8 years in brand marketing at Nestlé and Dreyer's Ice Cream, where I managed iconic (and delicious!) brands like Häagen-Dazs and Dreyer’s & Edy’s ice cream, among many others.
