Who am I?

I'm a 3-yr RETHINK Retail Top Retail Influencer and Advisory Council member, named a Top 10 Movers & Shakers in Retail for 2021 by RIS News. Founder of the Retail Razor Show podcast that helps retailers and retail tech providers cut through the clutter in the industry. I'm currently the Director, Partner Marketing Advisor for Retail & Consumer Goods at Microsoft where I lead US partner go-to-market. I'm also a founding Advisory Council member at George Mason University’s Center for Retail Transformation. My goal is to help both retailers and retail tech solution providers understand current industry trends and what they should be doing about it to help fuel growth in their business! I've been part of the retail tech community for over two decades in both product and marketing roles that have allowed me to work with retailers in depth, understanding their business, and helping to make sense of complex and confusing technology. I've helped retail tech startups with their go-to-market strategy and advised retailers on digital transformation projects over the years. With my experience, I hope to give back to the industry and help others cut through the clutter and the noise to understand how to best use technology to solve retail problems from supply chain to e-commerce to customer experience and everything in between!
