Growth Content Operator

I turn content into
compounding growth
for B2B SaaS teams ready to scale.

Content Strategy · SEO & AEO · AI-Powered Operations · Growth

I'm the kind of content marketer who loses sleep over internal linking strategy and gets genuinely excited when a content brief comes together. At Tripleseat — the category leader for hospitality event management — I owned the whole content function: SEO architecture, AI workflows, product launches, and enterprise sales enablement for multi-location operators like TAO Group, Topgolf, and Maggiano's. No hand-holding. No playbook. Just built it.

What I build

⚙️
Content Systems
Scalable editorial workflows, content briefs, repurposing frameworks, and AI-assisted production processes that multiply output without sacrificing quality.
📈
SEO + AEO Growth
Pillar-and-cluster architecture, high-intent keyword targeting, entity optimization, and structured content designed to surface in both search and AI-generated answers.
🎯
Conversion & Website Ownership
Product pages, landing pages, website copy overhauls, and sales enablement — including A/B testing CTAs, demo forms, and pricing copy to improve conversion performance.
🤖
AI-Powered Operations
Prompt frameworks, QA workflows, and human-AI editorial systems that compress production time while maintaining brand integrity and editorial standards.
📣
Thought Leadership
Differentiated POVs, executive narratives, and category-building content that positions a brand as the most trusted voice in a crowded SaaS landscape.
🚀
Cross-Functional Launch
Integrated product launch campaigns spanning blog, web, email, and sales enablement — aligned with Product, Marketing, and Sales from brief to results.

My perspective on AI-era content marketing

The companies that win won't produce the most content — they'll produce the most useful content.

Here's the uncomfortable truth about AI and content: anyone can now produce more. That means volume is no longer the edge. The companies winning right now are the ones creating content that's genuinely useful, clearly expert, and structured to be found — by both humans and AI answer engines. I use AI to do more of the strategic work, not less of it.

Read my full perspective →
Quality over volume
Relevance, originality, and business impact — not production volume.
SEO + AEO converging
Content must be optimized for both search engines and AI answer engines.
AI as force multiplier
Eliminate repetitive tasks — free teams for strategy and storytelling.
Content as growth engine
Not a publishing function — a growth function aligned to business outcomes.
What I'm looking for

I know the role I'm
meant to do next.

I thrive when there's a content function to build, a search footprint to grow, and a team that moves fast. Growth-stage B2B SaaS is my environment — where strategy and execution aren't two separate jobs, they're the same one.

Everything in this portfolio was built inside one company — and I'd take that over a scattered résumé any day. Depth over breadth. Ownership over cameos.
