I bring 12+ years of paid media expertise managing everything from strategy and campaign architecture to hands-on execution and technical implementation โ no handoffs, no junior teams. You get a senior specialist doing the actual work. Over my career I have: -Generated over $1B in revenue for clients across B2C, D2C, eCommerce, and B2B -Managed budgets up to $5M/month across Google, Meta, and programmatic platforms -Built and optimized full-funnel campaigns โ Search, Shopping, Performance Max, Paid Social, Display, and Programmatic, for both lead generation and eCommerce growth -Implemented advanced tracking and attribution systems including GA4, GTM, CallTrackingMetrics, and Meta Pixel to ensure accurate measurement and smarter optimization -Led paid media teams as strategic lead while maintaining direct ownership of performance My approach combines rigorous data analysis with creative testing to drive high ROAS, efficient CPAs, and scalable growth.
