Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) - AI
Seattle, United States of America
First and foremost, I am a people person. In my life and my work, I always seek to understand those around me and the context we live in, so I can lift them up and create the conditions for my teams, organizations, and customers to thrive.
Today, in the new era of AI, that means thriving through change to drive success and growth, and learning - every - single - day. For my teams, I do this by combining a vision for the future with clear goals and a roadmap for how we will get there, identifying what we need to do and learn and create with them - to accelerate the business along the way, together. And for customers, I do this by focusing on their needs, challenges, and pain points. By defining what it is we are solving for them, we can better serve customers, especially as the world around all of us quickly evolves.
This is a lesson I have learned throughout my career, where I have had the privilege to work across many areas from consumer to commercial businesses and across industries. I have seen first-hand how innovation can empower people in organizations of all sizes and industries to not only endure extraordinary challenges in their business but also accelerate impact and thrive.
I believe that when we bring empathy, a learning mindset, and a customer focus together, we can foster greater human connection, embody trust and empower teams everywhere to lead through change and achieve even more. And that, especially, is what we all need in order to drive real outcomes and success today.
