Influencer Marketing & Demand Generation
2015 - 2017
Spearheaded the creation of our influencer channel. Purpose is to promote brand awareness, build partnerships, and generate co-branded, co-promoted content with other companies in the space to drive sales. Reach out to executives - Directors, VPs, C-Level, at companies in our space like Zuora, WalkMe, Zendesk, Influitive, ServiceRocket, Gainsight, etc - and get them to commit to a thought leadership interview with our CEO. I build out the campaigns, coordinate the co-promotion efforts between MindTouch and the influencer’s marketing team, run the webinars, and create more partnership & lead generation opportunities.

Founder
2010 - 2012
Created an iPhone app while I was still in college. Worked with developers from China, India, and the Philippines. Managed and coordinated this multi-national team's efforts through every single iteration of this app until it was ready for release in the Apple App Store. The app worked by pairing audio recordings w/ images to ensure time-linked note-taking (ex: you audio record your tutor, take snapshots of the notes that he's writing, then after the session you can click on the image snapshots and it'll jump back to whatever he was saying when you took that picture). Published in Gizmodo, Mashable, TUAW, Lifehacker, etc. Broke even and was profitable after only ~3 weeks.
