For over ten years, I have traversed the media industry bringing my charisma and expertise to a variety of established and start-up companies including SS+K, SONY, Sonic Foundry, Intertainer and THEY. An expert in launching, marketing and selling interactive products and services, I understand marketing strategy, advertising, strategic-partnership building and content development.

Currently I am the vice president of marketing for the Los Angeles office of SS+K, an integrated marketing and communications firm with clients including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Citibank, Delta Air Lines, Lance Armstrong Foundation, msnbc.com, Starwood Hotels and Working Assets.  In April 2007, I led the strategic marketing and digital efforts for msnbc.com’s ‘A Fuller Spectrum of News’ campaign and am working on a new brand and product launch for Working Assets Wireless.

Prior to joining SS+K, I held a senior marketing position at Sony Corporation of America. My energy was focused on building integrated marketing and CRM strategies for Sony Pictures Entertainment, Sony Pictures Television, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Movielink, The Game Show Network and Sony Computer Entertainment America. In addition, I helped oversee the re-launch of the Sony Card with Bank One through a national campaign that included on-air, online, print and promotional partnerships.

Before my time at Sony, I served as the president and co-founder of THEY, an award winning integrated marketing services company whose clients included Excite@Home, Game Show Network, History Channel, Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau, NASA, PacketVideo, Spiderdance and Vivendi Universal Television. As President of THEY, I was responsible for overseeing marketing, new business development and strategic alliances. While at THEY, I was awarded the Hall of Fame Honoree by the National Association of Women Business Owners.

At Intertainer, I served as the vice president of marketing, an entertainment on demand broadband company. I oversaw all marketing efforts including publicity, advertising, branding, promotions and trade shows which resulted in the company’s widespread recognition among content providers, distribution partners and trade media. In this role, I launched public relations programs with BSMG Worldwide and an advertising campaign with TBWA/Chiat.

Prior to Intertainer, I was the director of marketing for STV Communications, a premier streaming media company recently acquired for $67 million by Sonic Foundry. I began my career in the new media industry at Davidson & Associates (now Havas Interactive), a leading software publisher. I also served as a business development consultant at educational software distributor Forest Technologies.

I am also affiliated with leading industry organizations, including the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), Women in Technology (WINT), The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (ATAS) and International Interactive Communications Society (IICS).

I hold a bachelor's degree from the University of California at Los Angeles and am very happy to be residing in Brentwood, CA with my dog Lilly.
