Present: Game Partnerships - Alienware
I've come full circle coming back to my love of making magic happen by creating and building strong relationships and collaborating with my gaming friends for Alienware. When you've wore so many hats and played so many roles, titles don't matter as much, it comes down to what you love to do and creating unique and beneficial programs for the gaming world is where my love lies.
Prior: VP of Marketing - CLX Gaming. Monkey Plum brought our team to middle America where we had the opportunity to build a exclusive luxury PC brand for a not so well know PC company called Cybertron. The core team settled for a year in Kansas, took new exciting roles and built up an amazing brand that created valuable connections for the company and nourished some new long lasting friendships.
Prior: As CEO of Monkey Plum, I lead a team for 7 years of experienced creative thought-leaders that know how to plan, execute and work with our clients to build a plan for success. My responsibility includes research, strategy development, media strategy and new business development. We are a group of team members are lively, creative and are able to quickly executive projects
Prior: As Director of Marketing Communications at Alienware™, I led public relations, print advertising, sponsorships and events and had the honor of partnering with many great companies like SQUARE ENIX™, Electronic Arts™, and Microsoft® just to name a few.
As the global public relations liaison for the Dell™ Gaming Group, I ensured that the Alienware brand and corporate message across all of the international regions were consistent, as well as supported multiple product launches and corporate communication.
Also being a mom, I've learned the fine art of balancing a career, family and looking for the inner calmness in moments of madness with always thinking on the positive side of things although some days it proves to be quite the challenge.
Other loves are scifi, toys, brainteasers, supercars, music, my hometown NYC and my husband who has always given me the strength, fire and respect I've always wanted.
