About

I help organizations transform complex business, product, and technical information into clear communications that strengthen customer engagement, enable sales, and support business growth.Throughout my career, I've partnered with executive leadership, product management, sales organizations to solve business challenges through strategic communications, product marketing, and sales enablement.My work spans the entire communication process—from understanding business objectives and identifying opportunities to developing communication strategies and creating the communications that bring those strategies to life.

Selected Case Studies

Gift Card Merchandising & Sales Tool

Problem

Merchants frequently selected standard gift card programs because they struggled to visualize the value of custom-branded cards and merchandising. This limited opportunities to upsell higher-value programs that could strengthen merchant engagement and generate more revenue for Valutec.

Solution

I recognized an opportunity to strengthen sales conversations by developing merchant-specific sales tools featuring each prospect’s own brand. Rather than asking prospective customers to imagine the possibilities, these customized concepts allowed them to visualize a gift card and merchandising program designed specifically for their business.

Impact

Equipped sales representatives with personalized sales enablement tools that shifted customer conversations from standard gift cards to higher-value branded programs, making upsell opportunities more tangible and supporting Valutec’s objective of increasing revenue through premium solution adoption.

Revenue Opportunity Analyzer — OmniToken Sales Enablement

Problem

Sales representatives needed a more effective way to demonstrate the potential revenue opportunity of OmniToken during customer presentations. Revenue projections were calculated in separate Excel spreadsheets, interrupting the flow of the conversation and making it harder to keep customers focused on the business value.

Solution

Partnered with executive leadership and product management to develop a Revenue Opportunity Analyzer that integrated live Excel calculations directly into the OmniToken sales presentation. Sales representatives could enter customer-specific processing data and automatically generate revenue projections without leaving the presentation.

Impact

Created a more seamless, consultative sales conversation by enabling representatives to quantify the potential revenue opportunity in real time while keeping customers focused on OmniToken’s business value rather than the mechanics of the calculation.

Embedded Payments Proposal Builder

Problem

The Embedded Payments business needed a scalable way for sales teams to communicate complex payment solutions while tailoring proposals to each prospective customer.

Solution

Partnered with sales leadership to develop an interactive proposal tool that organized technical, product, and business information into a customizable customer presentation. The tool enabled sales representatives to personalize proposals while maintaining consistent messaging, branding, product information, and automated revenue projections.

Impact

Established a repeatable proposal process that enabled sales teams to personalize customer presentations while maintaining consistent messaging, brand standards, product accuracy, and proposal quality across every engagement.

Vertical Market Sales Enablement Strategy

Problem

Sales teams relied on generic outreach that wasn't tailored to the unique needs and priorities of different industries, making prospecting less relevant and reducing customer engagement.

Solution

Identified an opportunity to organize outreach by vertical market. Developed the segmentation strategy, created targeted prospect lists, wrote industry-specific messaging and email content, designed campaign assets, led the rollout, and trained sales representatives to use a customizable mail merge process for personalized outreach.

Impact

Equipped sales teams with a scalable, industry-specific outreach program that enabled more relevant customer conversations, improved messaging consistency, and streamlined personalized prospecting. The same communication framework later supported targeted monthly reorder campaigns for existing merchants, generating more than $205,000 in annual revenue.
