Business Development Consultant

A strategic thinker with a track record of closing high value partnerships that make a meaningful impact. As someone
who co-founded a company built around the ideas of user and consumer engagement, storytelling and collaborations,
and who helped lead it through a successful acquisition, I know how important it is to build relationships to help build
and grow businesses. I am also a highly curious and resourceful team member who is committed and passionate
about solving problems with a "no job is beneath me" mind-set.

? Managed existing partner campaigns (Four Seasons, Perrier-Jouet) with the executive team.
? Co-produced On The Pass, one of the highest rated food and hospitality podcasts in the United States. Most
recently, I was responsible for the most-listened to episode in its history with the interview of famed music

Strategic Partnerships Consultant

Dedicated roughly two years to making original artwork, improving on my photography skills and designing
