Director of Growth Marketing @ Deep Brands

About

I’m a Director of Growth Marketing with 10+ years of experience scaling paid media and retail media programs for CPG and consumer brands in highly competitive environments.I currently lead growth marketing at Deep Brands, where I own an multi million annual media portfolio across retail media, paid social, and programmatic, driving 46%+ revenue growth while improving ROAS, NTB, and operational efficiency. I manage strategy, budget allocation, experimentation, and performance storytelling in close partnership with Sales, Finance, and platform partners.My background spans retail media networks (Target Roundel, Walmart Connect, Instacart, DoorDash, Kroger / 8451°), paid social (Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn), and programmatic display. I specialize in building channels from zero, implementing tooling and automation to reduce internal costs, and translating complex performance data into clear executive narratives.I’m most effective in roles where growth, measurement, and cross-functional leadership intersect—and where disciplined execution is paired with curiosity, experimentation, and accountability.
