Content Strategy | Thought Leadership | Executive Communications | Multimedia Storytelling
For more than 14 years, I’ve helped organizations transform complex expertise into thought leadership that builds trust, engages audiences, and drives business growth.
I partner with executives and subject matter experts to shape messaging, develop editorial strategy, and create content that connects expertise with the audiences who need it most. Whether it’s an executive interview, keynote presentation, podcast, webinar, video series, or live event, I believe the best thought leadership doesn’t simply share information—it helps people see familiar challenges in new ways.
Throughout my career, I’ve built thought leadership programs across HR technology, supply chain, AI, and software engineering. At QA Wolf, I partnered with executive leadership to translate complex AI and software engineering concepts into executive thought leadership, multimedia content, and interviews, helping technical leaders communicate their expertise with clarity and impact. Previously, at Paycom, I created and hosted HR Break Room, helping establish one of the HR technology industry’s leading thought leadership platforms. Recognized by organizations including LinkedIn and VidCruiter as one of the industry’s top HR podcasts, HR Break Room featured conversations with influential voices including Simon Sinek, Adam Grant, Barbara Corcoran, and Guy Raz. Across its first 100 episodes, the podcast generated more than 325,000 downloads while supporting broader content initiatives that produced more than 17,000 qualified leads annually and influenced more than $4 million in revenue.
Portfolio Sizzle Reel
At o9 Solutions, I expanded that work into executive communications and strategic thought leadership, partnering with leadership teams to strengthen the company’s voice across the global aim10x community of more than 10,000 supply chain professionals. I developed executive messaging and narrative frameworks for the company’s South by Southwest panel, The Planet Needs Sustainable Global Supply Chains, while evaluating editorial strategy and content processes that helped increase podcast ratings by 400% and expand executive visibility across digital and live events.
Outside of my corporate work, I’m the Editor-in-Chief of The Cinematropolis and host of The Cinematic Schematic, where I publish film criticism and interview filmmakers, composers, actors, and critics about the craft of storytelling. Leading an independent editorial publication has strengthened the same skills I bring to my work with executives: asking thoughtful questions, uncovering meaningful stories, and translating complex ideas into conversations that resonate with audiences.
Across every role, my work has centered on one belief: the best thought leadership starts with expertise, but earns influence through clear, authentic communication. That’s why I help experts and organizations turn knowledge into trusted voices.
