As EVP, I have the pleasure of getting my hands dirty to help nearly every part of the business bloom.
Client success and strategy, marketing and growth, employee development, and even operations are tasks I dig into nearly every day. I love the mix of creating new things (from marketing programs to new media list formats) alongside delving into the data (from team allocation to communications campaign analysis). My efforts are primarily focused on marketing strategy and development, stemming from my 15-year background running marketing programs for B2B companies primarily in commerce tech and two years in publishing beforehand, including at “PARADE Magazine.”
I’ve loved working with Ketner Group since the very beginning, back when I was a client while working as marketing manager for mobile-tech company Digby, which was acquired by Phunware. Meeting with the team always felt like a warm hug — I knew they’d help get things done while laughing through it. And it’s just the same today.
Early on, I received a much-loved liberal arts degree, a B.A. in film and electronic arts from Bard College, and I learned how to cook while working for author Pam Anderson, who literally taught me “How to Cook Without a Book.”
Outside of work, I continue to explore my passions for creating, community and helping things grow. I love to garden when I have the time, teaching my daughters to find joy in the sunshine and soil. I’ve practiced yoga for more than 20 years — it makes me feel both rooted and like I can fly.
