I'm a product marketer with over 7 years of marketing experience. My passion lies in creatively bringing complex technology solutions to life through captivating storytelling that builds awareness and hits home.Â
Currently, I'm steering the product marketing strategy for our entire data security product portfolio, which I find both thrilling and rewarding.
Before transitioning to product marketing, I specialized in marketing automation, focusing on Marketo. This experience laid the foundation for understanding the critical need for strong demand generation and ignited my passion for product marketing. The ability to creatively position products and connect with prospects and customers on a deeper level inspires me every day.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Marketing from the University of Ottawa. I was selected for an internship program (co-op) that required gaining marketing experience in various industries, including banking and finance, government, non-profits, and technology start-ups.
