Every kickoff depends on you
You’re still the one making sure the team knows what was promised, who owns the work, and what needs to happen first.
I help founders build stronger client teams, improve how accounts are run, and grow existing business through focused consulting or fractional leadership.
You’re still the one making sure the team knows what was promised, who owns the work, and what needs to happen first.
A milestone slips or results fall short. The client asks for an update before your team flags the issue, leaving less time to adjust.
When something goes off track, the team waits for you to decide who owns the fix and what to tell the client.
The team shares the results, but no one uses them to recommend what the client should do next.
Clients could benefit from a broader scope or another service, but the opportunity goes unraised. Renewal conversations start too close to the deadline.
To see which clients are growing, which are at risk, and what’s coming up for renewal, you have to piece it together yourself.
I help founders clarify who owns the work, improve how it gets delivered, and build a repeatable approach to retention and growth.
I help founders structure, build, and lead client operations from pre-sale alignment through delivery, retention, and growth. Bring me in for a focused project, ongoing advisory, or fractional leadership.
Set clear expectations for what the client is buying, what the team will deliver, and how success will be measured.
Give every account a clear owner, a launch plan, and milestones the team can manage.
Keep campaigns and projects on track, help clients see progress, and address risks early.
Use what’s working to retain clients and identify where the relationship can grow.
I build AI and automation into workflows where they help account leaders act sooner. A weekly digest can flag a campaign pacing behind goal or an implementation milestone that’s slipped, giving the account owner time to investigate and update the client. Your team owns the decisions and approves client communications.

I’ve spent my career building and leading global teams on both sides of the sale in AdTech and digital media. Before the deal, I shaped the positioning and messaging, then partnered with Sales to turn that story into a pitch, scope the work, and define success. After the deal, I led teams that owned client relationships from onboarding and live campaign delivery through renewal and expansion. Leading Customer Success, Creative Operations, Sales Enablement, Insights & Measurement, and Marketing taught me how to connect what we promised in the pitch with what we delivered, how we measured it, and what we recommended next.
The constant in every role was building. My experience spans private equity-backed operations, public-company growth, acquisitions, and post-merger integration. Along the way, I wrote playbooks in the early days of programmatic, helped build the framework for a retail and commerce media services division, and spearheaded the launch of a CTV platform. Most recently, as the business shifted from managed services to a platform model, I led the launch that brought the offerings of five businesses together under one brand and platform, helping teams and clients navigate the change.
Today, I help founders build their first client team or strengthen the one they have through focused consulting or fractional leadership.
