About Me

Marketing leader, passionate about marketing, technology, knowledge management, effective relationship building and communications. I've built numerous international service businesses and worked in-house for leading professional services firms in the US, Europe and Asia. I actively listen and enjoy helping people find and execute their passions.

I've trail blazed and built businesses in marketing, consulting and recruiting. Worked with clients across myriad industries including: legal, consulting, accounting, financial, technology and creative. Proud to be results oriented and attentive to the people I work with.I help clients accomplish their goals by using research, creativity and compelling storytelling. I combine my love for words, images, and business to yield powerful results. I listen well, take a creative approach and consistently exceed the expectations of my clients.

My early career was spent managing projects and large teams in leading US and London law firms including: Wachtell Lipton and Davis Polk. At Proskauer, I recruited attorneys and at Brown & Wood, NY; Finers, London and Clifford Chance, globally, I developed a passion and flair for professional services marketing.

I built 2 successful recruitment firms, Intelligent Marketing Solutions, Inc., in 1997, focusing on Marketing consulting and recruiting and, in 2005, Intuition Financial Placement, LLP with a partner whose background was in Equity Finance. Together we focused on placing sales and traders in Equity Finance and Derivatives.

Since 1987, I've written hundreds of articles about marketing and recruitment and given over 250 presentations in the US and Europe. When possible, I try to show people the power of storytelling through humor.
