Marketing leadership for companies improving the lives of parents, families, and caregivers
I provide senior marketing leadership for FamTech companies and Behavioral Health Practices — leading your marketing, not just advising.
Marketing leadership built for your world
The best marketing leadership starts with understanding the business behind the marketing. I focus on two types of organizations where I understand the customers, the business, and the challenges that shape what marketing needs to do.
FamTech Companies
Companies building products and services that help parents, families, and caregivers navigate everyday life — from parenting and childcare to financial wellness, education, healthcare, aging, caregiving, and beyond.
Behavioral Health Practices
Therapy, counseling, psychology, psychiatry, child and family behavioral health, and specialty practices looking to grow with a more strategic approach to marketing.
Marketing doesn't need more activity. It needs an owner.
You may already have people doing the work — an internal marketing person, agencies, freelancers, ad partners, a web team. What’s often missing is someone senior looking across all of it, setting the priorities, and taking responsibility for whether it’s actually working.
That’s the role I play as a Fractional CMO. I lead the marketing function, connect it to the business, and take ownership of moving the right numbers.
I don't just manage marketing. I connect it to the business.
Marketing doesn't operate in isolation. My job is to understand the business around it, determine where marketing can have the greatest impact, and lead the people and resources responsible for making it happen.
Set the strategy
Translate business goals into clear marketing priorities, decisions, and a plan for getting there.
Build the system
Connect messaging, channels, lead generation, sales or intake, measurement, and the customer journey instead of treating them as separate activities.
Lead the people
Give internal staff, agencies, freelancers, and specialists clear direction — and make sure everyone is working toward the same goals.
Own the numbers
Define what matters, create visibility into performance, and use real results to decide where to invest, what to change, and what to stop.
Find what’s getting in the way
Look beyond campaign metrics to identify bottlenecks and opportunities across the parts of the business that determine whether marketing actually works.
Get the level of marketing leadership you need
For some organizations, that means ongoing Fractional CMO leadership. For others, it starts with a focused strategic project.
Fractional CMO
Ongoing, month-to-month senior marketing leadership for organizations that need someone to own the marketing function without hiring a full-time CMO.
I set the strategy, lead the people and partners doing the work, connect marketing to the broader business, and create accountability around the numbers that matter.
Learn More →Focused Projects
Not every marketing challenge requires an ongoing engagement. I also take on select one-off projects when there’s a clear problem to solve, opportunity to evaluate, or decision to make.
That might include a focused marketing review, positioning and messaging work, go-to-market strategy, an assessment of what’s working and what’s not, or a broader strategic marketing plan.

Champion Partner
Nearly 20 years in marketing taught me to look beyond marketing
I spent more than a decade on the agency side, then several years consulting with companies on marketing, strategy, and growth. Along the way, I learned that the biggest marketing problems rarely stay neatly inside the marketing department.
Today, I bring those experiences together as a Fractional CMO, with a focus on FamTech companies and Behavioral Health Practices.

Let's talk about what's going on
We'll talk about your business, what's working, what's not, what you're trying to accomplish, and where you're getting stuck.
I'll give you my perspective
I'll share what I see, where I think the biggest opportunities are, and — if I can help — what I'd recommend.
You decide what makes sense
That might mean an ongoing Fractional CMO engagement, a focused project, or simply taking what we discussed and running with it.
