PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
VP, Product & Innovation | Refuel Agency / SPIRRA.io
2023–Present
Previously VP, Social & Content Strategies (Refuel) and VP, Product & Founding Team (SPIRRA.io), held concurrently · Nation's largest niche audience media & marketing agency | $60M+ revenue | 35+ year history | Fortune 500 client roster | NASDAQ-backed (PSEC)
- Lead an 11-person cross-functional organization spanning engineering, product, campaign success, and marketing; report directly to the President.
- Own the agency's product portfolio and productization strategy — shipping new products in fixed six-week build cycles, each backed by a business case tied to revenue, margin, or competitive differentiation.
- Develop and present board-facing strategy and investment plans that secured internal capital approval; serve as primary executive liaison to the board through development and growth phases.
SPIRRA — AI-native influencer marketing platform
- Led product from concept to launch — authored PRDs, validated product-market fit through market research, and drove the end-to-end build across product, design, and engineering.
- Designed the proprietary match-scoring algorithm at the core of the platform: a four-dimension model (overall, brand, content, and audience alignment) executed by an LLM against historical creator data to score 1:1 brand–creator fit. Patent application in progress.
- Owned the initial sales motion from pipeline through close; scaled to multi-million annual revenue across platform and campaign lines — profitable and now in year three.
- Shipped the discovery engine and campaign workflows that, with match scoring, form the platform's core differentiation.
Cadence — Social media management SaaS platform
- Originated the concept, authored the PRD, built the business case, and set the pricing and margin model.
- Led a three-person internal engineering team from approved concept to live client use in a six-week build cycle; personally designed the workflow features and UX.
- Delivered advanced cross-team approval workflows, AI-driven performance analysis, and brand lift reporting. Built first for agency clients; 50+ active workspaces, with public SaaS launch in September 2026.
Ripple360 — Branded entertainment reporting engine
- Originated and single-handedly drove product development and positioning alongside the core roadmap, with no added headcount.
- Unifies performance across every participant and channel of a branded series into one view — brand lift, brand metrics, and content metrics, episode by episode and series-wide — replacing single-platform view counts as the measure of success.
- First deployment validated delivery of 100% of contracted SOW performance by episode 4 of an 8-episode series. Positioned as a competitive differentiator that lowers the barrier to sale for branded entertainment.
Content & Campaign Leadership — Refuel portfolio agencies and SPIRRA Studios
- Led social and content strategy across Armed Forces Communications, 360 Youth, Influyente, and Thinking Cap — integrated social, video, influencer, and digital OOH programs for Fortune 500 advertisers.

- As Development Producer and Director, took original series from concept through greenlight — landing pilots with Science Channel, Hearst, Very Local, and Discovery+.
- Recognized with an Excellence in Journalism award for editorial impact. Six years of firsthand operator experience that directly informs later product work in content workflow, distribution, and measurement.
Co-Founder & Head of Product | JRRNY / Range Influence
2015–2017
- Co-founded JRRNY, a user-generated travel platform built around shareable itineraries rather than reviews, and Range Influence, an influencer marketing agency; led product and marketing from concept through acquisition by Sorse Technology.

- Developed influencer strategy frameworks and managed creator partnerships across lifestyle, sports, and entertainment.
