About

I build partnerships across the media and tech landscapes that make a difference in their industries.

Over the past eight years, I've operated across the creator economy, marketplace platforms, and traditional media; always focusing on relationships and tangible growth. At Uber, I managed $1.1B in annual GMV across enterprise retail partners, growing my segment at double the organizational rate and building a marketing program worth $6.6M annually from scratch. At DoorDash, I owned a top-performing merchant segment. Before big tech, I co-founded Middle Tech, turning a single podcast into a profitable multi-brand media company.

Today, I'm a Senior Partnerships Manager at #paid, where I manage platform relationships across the creator marketing ecosystem and find innovative new revenue sources.

Senior Partnerships Manager

I lead end-to-end strategic relationships with major social media platforms, overseeing everything from complex technical integrations and partner sales enablement to high-impact campaign funding initiatives. I also identify and execute on found revenue opportunities where I have successfully launched one new channel and initiated pilots with additional partners. Beyond direct revenue growth, I serve as a cross-functional leader by translating shifts in the evolving creator marketing industry into actionable process improvements, ensuring our internal teams remain agile and aligned with shifting market norms.
