Results That
Speak for Themselves

I'm a results-driven business development leader with 15+ years of experience across SaaS, hospitality, nonprofit, and community-based organizations. I specialize in building the relationships and systems that translate strategy into measurable growth.

My work spans new market development, strategic partnerships, fundraising, sponsorship acquisition, and community engagement. Whether embedded in a team or working as a fractional partner, I bring a producer's mindset: focused on outcomes, not activity.

Based in Big Canoe, GA, I'm available for hybrid and remote engagements throughout North Atlanta and beyond. I bring hands-on experience with HubSpot, Salesforce, and the full partnership lifecycle — from prospecting to close to long-term retention.
