My short story
I thrive when helping companies succeed and grow with effective marketing. I’m happiest when I get to combine left-brain data and analytics with right-brain “peel your eyelids back” creativity.
When I led marketing at tech companies, I found it virtually impossible to find agencies fluent in tech and healthcare. In 2001, I started Clarity Quest to grow biotech, technology, and healthcare companies and would not trade this experience for anything.
Before founding Clarity Quest, I was an engineer and product manager at Motorola. Then, I earned an MBA and led tech marketing teams at several Seattle-area tech startups. I’ve marketed medical devices, healthcare IT, biotechnology, software, wireless infrastructure, displays, and semiconductor technology.
Fun facts: I’m the author of Stop Starvation Marketing: 23 Power Moves for Health Tech and Life Sciences. I hold 8 U.S. patents in semiconductor device design and processing. Also, when I’m not working, you can find me swearing at a golf ball or watching Villanova basketball.
Why I love what I do
I get to:
- help our clients and their companies reach their fullest potential.
- enjoy a front-row seat to our clients reaching business and life goals…starting an early retirement from a well-executed exit, securing funding to start a new venture, or getting that well-deserved promotion.
- enjoy the look on a leader’s face when he or she finally sees and really GETS the power of marketing.
- experience a different challenge every day.
- work with fun, creative, kind, and all-around amazing people who bring it every day and always deliver.
