Currently, I’m President and Chief Marketing Officer at KIWI Strategic, a firm my mother Marian founded in 1994 and I now lead alongside her. We build strategy-led, revenue-driven brand transformations for Fortune 500 firms and local businesses alike.
I’m also the founder of Core to Community, an Apple alumni network keeping that culture alive, and IBSIX, an e-commerce brand for fellow Apple fanatics. On occasion you’ll find me teaching Marketing and Branding principles to aspiring entrepreneurs at the Goodwill Microenterprise Institute.
My superpower is asking questions then listening. With that, all things are possible.
20+ years in brand strategy.
11 years at Apple.
From Fortune 500 to local business.

This & That.
A lifelong learner addicted to every genre of YouTube video. Business and personal development books comprise the entirety of my reading list. Perfect Sunday trifecta: early yoga class, followed by cooking brunch for friends as we watch Formula 1.
Based in Fort Myers but returning home to Miami sooner rather than later.
