Passionate Global Speaker

I have a calling: guiding and arming marketers to take control and better leverage the most powerful data source on the planet: organic search. From building professional service teams from the ground up to evangelizing the power of search data directly to clients and marketing leaders, I show organizations how to translate “SEO” into a source of transformative intelligence that helps every facet of a business tap directly into the needs of their customers.
