Welcome to "Building Beautiful Things"
My newsletter, originally started on LinkedIn, but now on Substack.
Hello all!
Welcome to my newsletter on Substack. Building Beautiful Things will cover stories on marketing, growth, branding, leading, and living by your own rules.
We’ll be publishing every other week and covering a mix of topics and formats, and this will be focused on leaving my readers with an ah-ha moment they can bring into their day. You can expect examples, lessons learned, and feisty thoughts from someone who has been there and done that.
A little about me: My career has spanned 9 startups (and counting!) where I’ve helped stand up, grow and lead a variety of functions across Marketing, Growth, Product, Engineering, Data, Customer Service, People and Operations. I’ve been employee 6, all the way up to employee 2,800. I’ve been the first hire on a team and led a team of 280+ people. I’ve built household names, and led global companies that operated in 40+ countries, 30+ languages with over 110M monthly visitors and 100M app downloads. I’ve done B2C, B2B and D2C. I’ve built marketplaces, SaaS, and retail companies. I’ve launched new products, new markets, and new audiences. And I’ve done all of this with an insatiable appetite to try new things, learn new things and ultimately build beautiful things.
If you’re a marketer, a leader, or just a person trying to live life more beautifully, this is for you.
Welcome & thank you in advance for listening to and supporting my rambles.
