Salesforce Impact & Sustainability
My last role at Salesforce was helping to incubate the impact & sustainability business unit from 2019-2025. On sustainability and ESG, I launched and led 4 go-to-market to support the Net Zero Cloud & Sustainability Data Management business, a start-up unit now with hundreds of customers and double-digit growth.

Across this work, my teams developed and led multiple cross-sector coalitions and partnerships including Sustainability Value Creation, Impacting Together and Impact Measurement Today.
Salesforce.org / Salesforce Foundation
After scaling the Salesforce Public Sector unit, I was recruited in 2013 to lead global marketing and engagement for Salesforce.org & Salesforce Foundation. The Foundation had just started a new social enterprise model under Salesforce's 1-1-1 integrated philanthropic model. I led the nonprofit and education go-to-market, helping to grow the unit from <$10m to >$150m in annual revenue while also growing our annual social value to >$1B via donated software. I launched and led teams driving product marketing, field marketing, digital marketing, customer marketing & community engagement. I also led Salesforce’s Foundation’s marketing efforts for our grant-making efforts in capacity building, education, and workforce development and our employee volunteerism efforts.
Salesforce Public Sector
After leading a Salesforce-based innovation portfolio at the Center for American Progress, I was recruited and began working for Salesforce in 2011 as the Industry Director for the Public Sector. I built the go-to-market & sales enablement operation to help federal, state & local govt agencies deliver more impact and outcomes for their constituents. In two years, we scaled the business into the fastest-growing industry unit. My team developed & executed our go-to-market Connected Government strategy that included: product marketing, field & digital marketing, sales training and building partnerships with customers & third parties to evangelize government innovators.
Center for American Progress
I joined the Center for American Progress in 2004, CAP's start-up year. Over seven years, I created and managed numerous teams that extended CAP’s reach & influence, helping CAP become the most influential think tank in the world. As part of the senior staff, the teams I led drove coalition partnerships, digital transformation (digital marketing, CRM, campaigns), new startup organizations and Board engagement with CAP’s Board of Directors.
Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights
LCCR is the nation’s largest civil and human rights coalition with >200 national member organizations. As part of the Leadership Team, I helped transform the organization from a 5-person boutique NGO into a 30+ person organization capable of leading multiple campaigns simultaneously. I helped lead policy, communications, field, research development and LCCR’s innovation efforts, including being the founder of civilrights.org and the Digital Opportunity Partnership. This $5M+ private-public partnership with America Online, The Markle Foundation, Bell Atlantic, helped bring tech to the social justice community and combat the digital divide.
U.S. Senate
I started my career working in the U.S. Senate while attending graduate school at Georgetown University at night. In the Senate, I drafted policy statements and speeches and conducted legislative research on poverty and civil rights policy.
