More Than Consulting: Embedded Marketing Leadership for Lasting Results

Fractional CMO Services delivers more than marketing—it’s embedded leadership. With over 17 years leading a successful agency and senior roles in manufacturing and technology, I provide executive-level guidance that helps companies grow, compete, and win without the cost of a full-time CMO.

About Fractional CMO

My Approach

I founded and led 97 Degrees West for more than 17 years, serving manufacturing and technology companies from ambitious startups to industry leaders, before successfully selling the agency in 2019. I’ve also held senior marketing roles at companies such as Lancer Worldwide and Clarus, and earlier in my career worked at top ad agencies supporting Fortune 1000 clients.This depth of experience sets me apart from many who call themselves fractional CMOs after only working within a handful of companies. I embed directly into client teams to align marketing with business goals—driving execution, optimization, and measurable results.

Hands-On Leadership

I step in as your fractional CMO, leading from within your organization, not outside of it.

Strategic + Tactical Execution

From building demand generation programs to launching products and entering new markets, I bridge high-level strategy with real-world action.

AI Acceleration 

I integrate modern tools and AI to streamline marketing operations, improve scalability, and maximize ROI.

Revenue-Focused Marketing

Every strategy is tied directly to growth, brand strength, and market expansion.

Why Choose a Fractional CMO?

Hiring a full-time CMO is a significant investment. With a fractional model, you gain the same level of strategic leadership and expertise—without the overhead. I provide the structure, frameworks, and execution power to ensure your marketing isn’t just busy, but effective, scalable, and growth-oriented.
