Hello there!

I’m a marketing executive with more than 20 years’ experience in marketing, sales, and consumer-facing problem solving. I’ve spent the past 12 year in publishing and since 2024 have led marketing, publicity, and cover design for the largest religious book publisher in the world.

• Building diverse teams: I love bringing together people with dissimilar backgrounds, celebrating their unique experiences, and allowing them to feed off each other’s perspectives to accomplish great work.
• Ruthlessly and unapologetically cutting unnecessary work: Life’s too short, and our jobs are too important for busywork that doesn’t make a difference.
• Workflow overhauls: I take great joy in getting stagnant processes unstuck.
• Figuring out the “why”: I need to locate the reason behind our tasks for my own sanity, but I’ve found that my team enjoys the “what” a lot more if I teach them the “why” first.
• Measuring Impact: My favorite kind of projects are ones that allow for incremental measuring to help us improve our work.

• I currently work for the Baker Publishing Group as the Executive Vice President of Marketing and Publicity.
• My longest-tenured publishing job was with HarperCollins where I served as one of the marketing VPs at Zondervan.
• My first publishing job was with the Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. I served as a Field Sales Manager with a territory that stretched from Chicago to the West Coast.
• I was with FedEx in three states–Virginia, Ohio, and Indiana.

• Both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees are in the area of religion and theology. I have a BA in Biblical Studies and earned a Master of Divinity with a speciality in biblical Greek.
• I’m bilingual and graduated high school from the Bundes Oberstufenrealgymnasium in Telfs, Austria.
