Hello, I’m Kris.
I’ve spent my career helping teams turn complexity into clarity and ideas into momentum. I enjoy working at the point where strategy meets execution, especially when the goal is real growth, not vanity metrics.
I partner closely with founders, executives, and cross-functional teams to solve practical problems. That might mean building a marketing engine from scratch, fixing what is broken, or finding smarter ways to scale what already works. I care about clean systems, strong storytelling, and decisions grounded in data.
If you’re looking for a marketing leader who thinks holistically, builds thoughtfully, and enjoys rolling up his sleeves, I’d love to connect and compare notes.
20+ years of marketing leadership across SaaS, MedTech, Pharma, and digital media.
Partner to executive teams and private equity driving go-to-market strategy and reporting.
Builder of marketing functions from 0→1, and optimizer of existing systems to scale efficiently.
Creator of demand generation programs that accelerate pipeline growth and maximize ROI.
Experience spanning sales, startups, and agencies serving diverse markets.
Holistic revenue-generation perspective that combines creativity, data, and operational rigor to produce measurable impact.
