Strategy Alchemist

Fractional CMO and Strategic Marketing Consultant

Marketing Leadership that Delivers

With more than 25 years of executive leadership and marketing experience, I help organizations clarify their vision, strengthen their market position, and achieve sustainable revenue growth. As a Fractional CMO, Marketing Consultant, Advisor, and Coach, I provide the strategic direction and hands-on execution businesses need during expansion, transition, restructuring, or turnaround initiatives. My approach combines marketing strategy, business operations, brand development, customer acquisition, and measurable performance improvement.

As a Fractional CMO, I develop and implement comprehensive marketing strategies aligned with business objectives. Services include brand positioning, go-to-market strategy, marketing plans, customer acquisition, revenue-growth planning, digital marketing, SEO/SEM, content marketing, website development, media buying, campaign management, sales enablement, and marketing operations. I help organizations build scalable marketing systems that improve visibility, attract qualified prospects, strengthen customer engagement, and convert opportunities into revenue.

As a Marketing Advisor and Coach, I work directly with business owners, executive teams, boards, and emerging marketing leaders. I provide objective guidance on market expansion, business development, customer experience, competitive positioning, marketing technology, budget allocation, and strategic decision-making. Through executive coaching and practical mentorship, I help leaders prioritize initiatives, improve accountability, develop high-performing teams, and translate ideas into actionable marketing roadmaps.

Executive Strategy. Practical Execution.

Combining strategic imagination with operational rigor to turn brand differentiation into measurable market advantage and sustainable growth

My experience includes serving as an embedded Fractional CMO, COO, and CEO for organizations navigating growth, organizational change, operational inefficiency, and underperforming marketing programs. I diagnose fragmented execution, unclear positioning, inefficient processes, and missed revenue opportunities, then create practical solutions focused on process improvement, organizational alignment, performance management, and measurable business results. I have led teams and project contributors ranging from 2 to 25 people while fostering collaboration, accountability, motivation, and professional development.

I also bring a strong background in project management, stakeholder engagement, vendor management, budgeting, requirements gathering, implementation, KPI development, and continuous improvement. I translate executive vision into cross-functional initiatives, project plans, operating models, and day-to-day execution. My consulting business grew from four pre-launch clients to 350 clients, with 88% of clients acquired through referrals—demonstrating the value of trusted relationships, consistent results, and exceptional client service.

Whether you need an experienced Fractional CMO, strategic marketing consultant, marketing advisor, or executive coach, I can help build the strategy, structure, and momentum required for growth. From brand strategy and digital marketing to business transformation, sales enablement, marketing operations, and customer acquisition, I provide integrated solutions designed to improve visibility, strengthen market positioning, increase efficiency, and support long-term profitability.
