Being a small business owner is challenging – so much to do and so little time.

We all know that marketing is an essential skill, but it’s hard to find the time or the budget for it when you have a lot on your plate.

When I started in business for myself I wanted to take all of the great things about big brand marketing and apply them to small businesses. Small businesses deserve to treat themselves like brands too – in fact I believe it is essential for success!

Through my years of leadership roles at tech companies and big brands like Apple in Europe, I amassed a huge knowledge of different marketing tools, go to market strategies and strong execution and productivity.

When I landed in Colorado with no colleagues, no network and no company to tell me what to do I wondered what my next step should be.

The answer came pretty quickly.

This one-time corporate marketer fell in love with helping the small businesses that form the very heart of our local towns and cities.

I built programs and consulting offers that helped businesses take the leap to the next stage of their growth using a success model built by years of experience, with an eye to the future.

Marketing is ever changing and finding success is a challenge that I relish – and with the right tools, and systems to help, I relish applying this challenge to each and every business I work with.

Seeing clients success with sales growth, brand recognition and developing their own strong communities fill me with joy every day.

When I am not at my desk you’ll see me volunteering with Longmont Chamber of Commerce, acting as an advisor and workshop facilitator for the Boulder SBDC and Colorado TechSource program, as well as speaking at various associations and Chambers.

And when Summer rolls around you’ll find me organizing the Front Range’s fantastic free community dance series Dancing Under the Stars, based in the charming town of Niwot.
