About

👋🏻 Hey there! I'm a Digital Marketing Technology professional. More importantly, I'm a Digital Marketing Technology enthusiast.


I'm passionate about Marketing Operations, Demand Generation, Growth Marketing, Marketing Automation, Web Design, and Front-End Development with over 15 years of applied experience


My typical role can be described as a “Technology Consultant” to Marketing Departments, having served as such in both Agency and Client-side settings. My background in enterprise marketing technology solutions has spanned across both B2C and B2B channels, which has coalesced with numerous industry verticals. Most recently, I have transitioned to settle in the Tech Sector.

My core emphasis as a results-oriented Marketing Operations Leader is on data-driven strategy and execution.


This line of work can become rather complex. If there's one simple aspect, it would be my definition of success: non-stop learning 🚀

Marketing Operations/Growth Manager & Web Developer

Seasoned, data-driven marketing technology professional with a passion for problem-solving.

I also possess official Google Partner status via certifications in Google Analytics and Google Ads.

Skills

Below is a list of each discipline I have specialized in and notable platforms I have experience with. While I have a flexible background, my primary occupation is distinctly centered on advanced cloud enterprise platforms with two areas of emphasis: marketing data and marketing development.


Nowadays, I have been zeroing in on marketing automation and CRM platforms within the technology stack, while consistently working to extract insightful, meaningful, and actionable data to help guide strategic decision-making. As an analogy, some electricians are good all-around electricians but focus on auto. In this case, marketing cloud and marketing analytics would both be classified under that specialization.

Interests

Outside of my career endeavours, I am a longtime hockey fan. Wins have no meaning without losses, much like how successes contrast with failures.


Recently, I've picked up the guitar and fun doesn't even begin to describe that learning experience 🎸🤘🏻


A few of my other favourite pasttimes include running, cycling, movies, travelling, concerts, karaoke, reading blogs, and enjoying Mediterranean cuisine. Speaking of movies, does anything even hold a candle to Deadpool? I'm not just saying that because Ryan Reynolds is a Vancouver native too, but that tidbit is a definite plus.


As a technology enthusiast and not just a marketing technologist by trade, I've also been taking a real interest in futurology. In particular, I look forward to discovery around AI and the presumed reality (or not) of the technological singularity. ChatGPT is as cool as it is scary, and it's super scary 🤖👻 on that note, you might want to give my new Marketing AI Prompt Generator powered by ChatGPT a try!
