Background

The operator behind the strategy

I'm a senior eCommerce leader based in Plano, Texas, with proven success driving double-digit growth across Amazon and DTC channels. As Senior Director of eCommerce Strategy & Sales, I own the end-to-end digital ecosystem — Amazon, branded DTC, CRM and email, customer service, and paid digital media.

My approach is holistic and data-driven: integrating acquisition, retention, and loyalty strategies to deliver both revenue growth and exceptional consumer experiences. Since stepping into this role, I've led the organization to consecutive years of double-digit sales growth on both Amazon and the direct-to-consumer site.

Key initiatives include auto-replenishment subscription programs that grow LTV and retention, buy now pay later services to reduce barriers for new customers, and AI-driven personalization enhancing onsite experiences and conversion rates.

I thrive on balancing innovation with operational rigor — from managing multi-million-dollar media investments across Amazon DSP, Meta, Google, and TikTok, to transforming customer service with a 24/7 Gorgias hybrid AI model, to building real-time Power BI dashboards that guide executive decision-making.

Passionate about uniting premium product science with cutting-edge digital commerce, I focus on scaling sustainable growth, strengthening consumer loyalty, and protecting healthcare provider partnerships in an omnichannel world.
