What I Do
2915
I offer services as a fractional leader, project director, or trusted advisor. In an advisory role, I assist with strategic challenges and creative sessions, fostering brand building from the ground up. As a fractional leader, I merge strategy with hands-on execution across various areas, prioritizing outcomes and objectives. When taking ownership of a project, I manage initiatives like rebrands or product launches, define goals, budgets, and project plans, and ensure execution with internal or external teams. Additionally, I am always open to discussing new opportunities and ways in which I can utilize my skills to help you achieve your goals. If you'd like to know more, please don't hesitate to contact me.
