Summary
I build experiences that build trust. As Director of Community Marketing at Pivotal (through June 2025), I’ve led local and national field engagement strategies for one of aviation’s most innovative startups. From the ground up, I brought a flywheel model to Pivotal and designed and executed a live event program that connected thousands of people to flight demos and aircraft experiences, helping move audience awareness to tangible interest and conversion. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve consistently launched, scaled, and optimized programs that blend authentic community, strategic storytelling, and measurable ROI—from Pivotal to SF New Tech, RocketSpace, Meetup, and more. Highlights: • Created and ran Pivotal’s first-ever community events calendar and execution playbook • Produced dozens of immersive flight events with measurable lead-gen outcomes, media, and sales • Built SF’s longest-running tech event series (SF New Tech), showcasing 850+ startups • Executive produced innovation summits for Fortune 100 clients • Raised over $400k for founder support through Higher Tide • Co-led media, comms, and outreach for top civic and startup orgs Now, with my chapter at Pivotal concluding in mid-June, I’m exploring what’s next: ideally a mission-driven company or agency that values bold community thinking, creative ops, and a “get-it-done” mindset. 📩 Open to leadership roles, consulting, or collaborations. Let’s talk if you’re building something that needs to connect deeply—with the right people, in the right places, at the right time.
