About


Sr. Director, Head of Marketing at SmartBiz


I’ve spent over 15 years in marketing, specializing in product marketing, digital and web marketing, branding, and partner marketing. My background spans both startups and large organizations, giving me a unique perspective on how to build and scale marketing programs that connect with customers.


At SmartBiz, I lead marketing efforts across product positioning, go-to-market strategies, partner and channel marketing, SMB engagement, and brand development. I love creating clear, compelling messaging that makes complex financial solutions more accessible for small business owners.


Background


Before SmartBiz, I worked at FIS and Scrum Alliance, where I focused on go-to-market execution, integrated payments marketing, and partner programs. I enjoy blending creativity with data-driven strategies to build marketing campaigns that resonate and drive results.

1. We conduct a soft credit pull that will not affect your credit score. However, in processing your loan application, SmartBiz Bank and the lenders with whom we work will request your full credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies, which is considered a hard credit pull and may impact your credit score.
