Who I am
P. 002 — Who I am
The short version

Hardboiled.
Allergic to BS.

Marketer by trade. Brand architect by instinct. 15+ years across marketing, PR, communications and brand building — financial services, fintech, software. I've built marketing functions from zero, led teams across markets, and run brands that actually meant something. Cynical enough to tell you when your positioning is garbage. Experienced enough to fix it. Not a coach. Not a guru. A CMO with a track record and zero patience for empty credentials.

What I'm great at

Brand architecture.
Applied.

  • Positioning people and companies so they stop sounding like everyone else.
  • Finding the one true thing about a brand and making it impossible to ignore.
  • Building marketing functions from zero — strategy, team, channels, results.
  • Turning 15+ years of pattern recognition into decisions that take others months to reach.
  • Writing copy that doesn't make me cringe three days later.
How I work

Direct.
Async. No fluff.

Through Aah, Monster! I work with C-suite executives and founders who need a brand that holds up under scrutiny. No calls. No workshops. No fluff. Written deliverables, straight feedback, outputs you can act on. The same brand architecture thinking that built real company brands — applied to the person running the company. If you have a brand problem, you know where to find me.

Who this is for
P. 003 — Who this is for
The invisible executive
You run a company or lead a team, but outside your office nobody knows your name. You have authority. You don't have a brand. That's a problem.
The mis-positioned founder
Your LinkedIn says one thing, your website says another, your pitch says a third. You're not confusing — you're confused. I fix that.
The credible professional going public
You know your field cold. Now you need people outside your field to know it too. Expertise doesn't market itself. I help it do that.
Not for

Junior professionals. People who want a logo and call it a brand. Anyone looking for a yes-man. If your positioning is broken, I'll say so — and then fix it.
