About ME

Entrepreneur & Innovator

I am a four-time founder C.E.O. I’ve built, run, and sold startups (including a Series A-1 funded ecommere company).
I currently am the Co-Founder and CEO of Rêve Health.

My experience includes guiding executives, building and selling a wellness startup, pioneering early digital projects at StubHub and Apple, and serving as Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Johnson & Johnson.

In 2022 I almost died and had 2 major surgeries that could have been avoided had my startup existed. I had suffered for years with issues that likely stemmed from a career full of stress, where I put everyone else first. Now, I prioritize my health because without it, we have nothing.

My journey brings me a unique insight into working with leaders and founders, who often put their business ahead of their own needs. I make it my priority to create focus, so leaders can do more with less. Hopefully this helps them thrive in work and in life!

When you live in alignment with your values, everything comes together

01

Purpose

For 25 years I’ve been an entrepreneur and storyteller. The common thread is helping people design a life, or brand, of purpose.

02

North Star

My North Star is the dream, the dream to increase my healthspan and lifespan, and help other people avoid what I experienced.

Catalyst

When you take a step in the right direction–no matter how small–you start a chain reaction that propels you forward.

a life of purpose

Freedom

I have been a founder and entrepreneur for the past 20 years.
I was inspired by my Grandfather who ran a small store in rural Massachusetts. In high school and beyond I worked for him, and was always impressed by the amount of dedication and diligence running a business entailed…but also how much freedom you can have over your day, your environment, and even your customers.

My Journey So Far

I wanted to be a writer when I was a kid…and life got in the way. I moved to San Francisco after Grad School and got caught up in the startup world. It was exciting and I was good at it. I was known as a disruptor–and I immersed myself into the startup world. No matter where I worked, I was able to get to the real “story” behind a brand, or a person. I was always a writer at heart.

Entrepreneur

I am the Co-Founder and CEO of Rêve Health. Before that I was the CEO of a multi-million dollar consultancy helping Fortune 100s with GTM strategy, marketing strategy, and business strategy. Funny enough one of my most requested services was helping executives hone in on their life purpose.
Prior to my consultancy, I ran an Ecommerce marketplace for holistic wellness retreats. We were Series-A funded, and we sold the assets to a competitor, after which I took some time off to travel.

Executive-Level Consultant

I’ve worked with some of the largest companies, including Johnson & Johnson, where I was a Producer and Editor-in-Chief of a caregiving resource. I got to meet Rosalyn Carter at The White House!

Experience and skills

01

Strategic Marketing

I have touched all aspects of the marketing funnel including branding, messaging and positioning; designing websites and CMS’, crafting the content, CX, and UX strategy; Seo, Sem, ppc; marketing plans, business plans, investor decks and financial modeling; email marketing, analytics, GTM strategy, product creation and launches; event planning and launches. I’ve helped Fortune 10s and startups, B2B, B2C, and enterprises launch and scale.

02

Brand Positioning

I am an executive level strategic brand builder and marketer. For 13 years I ran a marketing and digital strategy consultancy, called Kusadama Enterprises which served clients such as Nasa Ames, Google, Apple, Microsoft, HP, NRG Energy, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and Goldman Sachs. I also have provided services to startups and the occasional purpose-driven small business!

03

Innovation & Thinking Outside the Box

My special sauce is my ability to truly think outside the box, and to work with you to make the improbable come to life. I’ve hosted half-day and all-day sessions with clients where we dream up ideas that motivate everyone on your team, and make an impact to your bottom line, and create competitive moat.
