Built for the AI-Native Era

The immersive advertising category I helped build over 15 years has converged with AI — and AI-native interactive content is where I'm focused next. I bring an established network of C-suite relationships at Fortune 500 brands and global agency holding companies, a proven track record of building 7-figure pipelines from zero, and the consultative enterprise sales motion that turns skeptics into multi-year platform clients. The brands I've sold — Walmart, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Mars, Netflix, Unilever, Diageo — are exactly the buyers the next AI-native advertising platform needs. I know how they buy, who signs the deals, and how to build the commercial infrastructure to scale.
