I’m a marketing strategist with 20+ years of experience working with global brands like Nintendo, Reebok, GlaxoSmithKline, and Fairmont Hotels & Resorts - alongside founder-led companies and startups in health and wellness that needed to grow fast and get it right the first time. I diagnose what’s actually holding your business back and build the strategy that fixes it. I’ve helped scale a NYC fashion brand from 0 to $15M in revenue and 600K+ organic followers (no paid ads). I’ve launched brands, repositioned companies, and built marketing systems that generate revenue demand, not just attention. What I Do Best • Growth Strategy Clear, actionable marketing plans tied directly to revenue, not vanity metrics. • Brand Positioning So your audience instantly understands why you matter (and why they should choose you). • Content That Converts Not random posting but structured content ecosystems built around proof, storytelling, and demand. • Lead Generation Systems SEO and AEO, email, and content strategies designed to consistently bring in qualified leads. • Website & Funnel Audits I identify exactly where you’re losing people and how to fix it fast. • Offer & Pricing Strategy So you’re not just selling more, you’re selling smarter. How I Work Before any strategy call or creative direction, I will review your current website, social media and other marketing channels. What’s working? What’s not? Where the gaps are. Then we build from there, so every decision is intentional, not guesswork. I ask the right questions. I listen closely. And I move quickly from insight to execution. Who I Work With • Founder-led brands • E-commerce and Shopify businesses • Wellness, fashion, and lifestyle companies • Experts turning knowledge into digital products • Businesses ready to grow, but stuck on how Start Here Every engagement begins with a short introductory call. From there, we define the right path, whether that’s a focused strategy session, a full audit, or ongoing advisory support. If you’re serious about growth and want a strategy that actually drives results, let’s talk. Schedule a complimentary intro call with me to begin.

Most fractional CMOs have never run a brand. I have. I built and operate The Passport Project on Shopify, growing it to 300+ partner businesses and brand deals with Red Bull and Universal Music. That operator lens shapes how I work with every client. I help e-commerce brands turn scattered growth efforts into launched campaigns and measurable revenue. My work spans the full growth stack: Shopify builds and conversion optimization, Klaviyo and Shopify Flow email automation, Google Ads and Meta paid acquisition, SEO and content strategy, and analytics. What I bring to a client engagement: I run my own Shopify brand from product development to paid acquisition, so I understand what actually moves the needle. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish and have led projects with people from the US, Chile, Colombia, Canada, Haiti, South Africa, and Iran. Useful for US brands expanding into LATAM or LATAM brands targeting US consumers. I use the StoryBrand framework to simplify positioning and write copy that converts. I spent 16+ years in hospitality before moving into marketing, and my client work spans e-commerce, CPG, food and beverage, pet care, healthcare, and tourism. If you're looking for someone who can both architect the strategy and execute on it, let's chat.

Struggling to make LinkedIn Ads work for your B2B business? You're not alone, and you're exactly who I help. I’m a certified LinkedIn Ads specialist with 5+ years of experience in B2B lead generation, paid social strategy, and full-funnel campaign management. I work with companies that want more than clicks, they want qualified leads, booked calls, and tangible ROI. Clients usually come to me after burning ad spend with no real results. I fix that by: - Building laser-focused LinkedIn targeting - Crafting high-converting ad copy and creatives - Setting up full-funnel campaigns (lead gen forms, retargeting, nurturing) - Constantly optimizing for lower CPL and better lead quality I’ve helped B2B SaaS companies, marketing agencies, and service businesses reduce CPL by up to 40%, double their lead volume, and get in front of real decision-makers (think CMOs, founders, and CFOs). Here’s what clients say: “Fantastic addition to the team for all things LinkedIn Ads.” “Super responsive, flexible, and great to work with.” “Knows LinkedIn Ads inside out, highly recommend!” If you're looking for a LinkedIn Ads expert who gets B2B, speaks your language, and brings results, I’d love to help. Shoot me a message, and let's schedule a virtual coffee chat to see if I am the right fit for your project. - Shaha

Cold email landing in spam? B2B lists bouncing before the first send? I build the system that fixes both - verified contact lists (Apollo, Instantly, SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup), and CRM-ready data. One engagement, fully async. 10 years on Upwork, $100K+ earned, 9,600+ hours, Top Rated Plus, 100% JSS. WHAT I DELIVER Cold email infrastructure setup. I configure SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and MX records across multiple domains, set up Google Workspace inboxes, and launch inbox warm-up via Snovio. Every setup includes a pre-send deliverability audit. From zero to first send in 5-7 days. Verified B2B contact lists. Leads are sourced from LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, ZoomInfo, and Hunter — cross-referenced across 3 sources, never single-source exports. Every email is verified through NeverBounce or Debounce before delivery. Bounce rate kept under 2%. CRM data cleanup and enrichment. I handle deduplication, field standardization, and contact enrichment for HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, and Zoho. Missing data gets filled, stale records get flagged, and the output is CRM-ready on delivery. HOW I WORK Share your ICP and target criteria and I come back same day with a sourcing plan, verification method, timeline, and price. Quality is confirmed before full scope starts — paid pilot batch of 20-50 contacts or one test domain first, then the full run. No calls, no video. All scope, updates, and decisions stay in writing. TOOLS Sourcing: LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, ZoomInfo, Hunter, Lusha. Verification: NeverBounce, Debounce, Snovio. Infrastructure: Google Workspace, Namecheap, Snovio warm-up, Google Postmaster Tools. CRM: HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho. INDUSTRIES SaaS, Tech, Consulting, Finance, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Real Estate, E-commerce, Creative Agencies, Legal.
