Head Of Marketing

With 10+ years of experience in marketing leadership across Web3 and cybersecurity service providers, I have built compelling brand identities and led high-performing teams that drive demand generation, community engagement, and strategic product positioning. My passion lies in bridging complex technology with compelling narratives that drive adoption and market growth.

As the Head of Marketing at Pi Squared, I established the company's brand from the ground up, crafting a compelling narrative that connected the founder’s expertise in space navigation verification to blockchain innovation. Through targeted messaging and strategic partnerships with ecosystem partners such as Wormhole and EigenLayer, I successfully grew the pre-testnet community to over 5,000 members, generating 1.5 million social media impressions. Additionally, I launched a developer portal at Devcon 7, and built an exhibitor space at ETHDenver that drove 130+ product demonstrations for Web3 developers and users.

Beyond Pi Squared, my experience spans advisory roles and leadership positions in high-growth blockchain startups. At Floating Point Group, I spearheaded a rebranding initiative that secured top-tier media coverage and boosted lead generation by 7x. While at Fireblocks, I launched the industry’s first permissioned DeFi pool with Aave Arc, driving $30M+ in total value locked (TVL) from 50+ institutional participants.

I am eager to bring this expertise in brand storytelling, product marketing, and community growth. I thrive in fast-paced environments where strategic vision and execution are critical to success. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience and skills align with your team’s goals.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
