Most marketing advice ignores how B2B buyers actually decide. I design systems grounded in behavioral science—content that reduces cognitive load, funnels that match real decision-making patterns, and messaging that earns trust before it asks for attention.

Strategy without systems is just expensive PowerPoint. I build the infrastructure that makes it executable.
