Crisis Product Strategy: Airbnb Pre-Exit
Having spent a year overseeing changes to the product roadmap at Airbnb to enable increased monetization and efficiency through content monetization (implementation of headless CMS and content schemas for localization and content distribution through host hub and help center), I worked with the global efficiency team to develop and produce the Alumni Portal platform to provide a human capital solution to ease the transition of the COVID related downsizing.

WebbyAward: Adidas Deerupt Unboxing Experience
Adidas' social media agency of record Annex88 had a major issue regarding the launch of the Deerupt sneaker. They needed to be able to showcase the shoe prior to sale to drive earned media and sales, but they needed to shut down opportunities for counterfeiters to reproduce the shoe and undercut the marketing efforts and retail sales. I designed an AR unboxing experience and oversaw the technical implementation. I won a Shorty Award and a Webby Award for the work.
Head of Strategic Development | EdApp Microlearning - Acquired by SafetyCulture
Led growth marketing and revenue generation for EdApp Microlearning overseeing the US, European and Australian growth teams. I implemented a marketing strategy based on social selling techniques raising brand awareness for EdApp through a series of in-person panel-based events. The series called Paradigm Shifters brought together leaders within the learning and development and performance sectors of corporate development including Julie Rice of Soul Cycle, Ariam Mogos of the UN Innovation Fund, Donna Scarola of Johnson and Johnson, and Ian Saville of Facebook. The event series sold out in each instance and became a primary driver of brand elevation and revenue for the company. Under my leadership, the team grew from 8 to 45 and was acquired by the Australian firm Safety Culture.
