Fractional Chief Revenue Officer

growth in signed contract value at one consulting firm, Q1 to Q3 2026
I started in the startup world as a director of marketing, then learned sales on the job as a partner at a lead gen firm for six years.
What I learned
No amount of leads will fix a broken growth foundation.
The organizations that grew had simple, usable systems and the follow-through to work them. Today, I help mission-driven consulting firms put those systems in place.
A little more about me
I started dreaming about horses when I was pregnant with my son (who is now five!). When he was six months old, I started lessons and discovered my passion for riding. Since then, I've combined it with my other love, international travel. I'm always up for exploring new places and being curious about cultures, food and places that are different from my own. In the last four years, I've been on riding adventures in Argentina, Ireland, Mexico and Italy. Morocco and Kenya are on deck!
