Profile

AI-native content and growth leader with 10 years in digital marketing and seven years building organic acquisition for B2B SaaS.

I combine hands-on writing with content strategy, SEO/GEO, product marketing, conversion optimization and distributed team leadership. My work has generated thousands of product signups and made organic a client’s largest acquisition channel.

I also build practical AI workflows for research, content briefs, internal linking and AI visibility, with human review and quality ownership at every stage. I am now looking to focus this experience inside a product company where content, AI and customer insight can compound at scale.

Selected Client Engagements

SEO and Content Lead · Copysmith

AI copywriting software

  • Diagnosed an overreliance on paid acquisition and low-intent topics; interviewed marketing and support leaders, then rebuilt the strategy around comparison, alternative and use-case content aligned with product value and purchase intent.
  • Grew monthly organic signups from 529 to 3,457 in eight months, lifted conversion from 13.2% to 23.7% and raised organic’s share of total signups from 30% to 48%, making it the largest acquisition channel.

Bootstrapped calendar sync software

  • Prioritized existing-content improvements and jobs-to-be-done topics for a small company competing against VC-backed incumbents.
  • Grew monthly organic clicks from 8,000 to 31,300 in five months, with impressions rising from roughly one million to more than four million; earned the first recommendation in Google’s AI Overview for “calendar sync”.

  • Led a 14-step content workflow across 20+ contributors, including writers, editors, proofreaders, designers and operations specialists, coordinating assignments and quality control through Basecamp and Google Sheets.
  • Directed the publication and optimization of 140+ articles in ten months, contributing to 10,000+ user signups and 300+ new paying customers.
  • Translated software and workflow concepts into clear how-to, SOP, template, comparison and product-led content for non-technical buyers; one article sustained a 20% reader-to-signup conversion rate for more than two years.

Freelance Writer · Moz

2021 – 2022

SEO software and education platform

  • Wrote research-led content for marketers and technical SEO practitioners; “7 Emerging Technologies in SEO and Their Applications” ranked #8 among Moz’s 25 most-read posts of 2021.

AI Systems and Workflows

Content Brief Generator Internal system In use

Reduced a two-to-three-hour manual research process to under ten minutes.

LinkForge Internal WordPress workflow In use

Automates internal-link discovery while keeping publication decisions with an editor.
