I'm Stephanie. Pleased to meet you and welcome to my little corner of the internet.

About Me

Globally-minded, customer-centric, data-informed and AI-empowered marketing, communications and partnerships executive and change agent.

I build reputation and revenue, in that order, because without the former there is no latter.

I ask questions other's don't. (That's a side benefit of migrating industries. You think differently from everyone else. And that's an Asset, not a liability).

I am fearlessly candid with leaders because I believe to do otherwise is a breach of duty.

I have been told I have a knack for simplifying the complex.

Avid AI user and learner.

Evangelist for the role of universities in fixing the world's polycrisis.

An enthusiastic sports marketing professional- pro and collegiate.

Budding entrepreneur with a big idea. More coming soon on that.

Education

Proud member of the second class of women at Columbia College at Columbia University in the City of New York.

Got my MBA at night from Fordham while working for the NBA on the international business. It often made for a satisfying but long day:

Worked 9-5 in Secaucus, NJ, commuted through the Lincoln Tunnel to Fordham's Lincoln Center Campus for evening classes, and drove back through the tunnel to the office after class, just in time for "morning meetings" with Asian partners.
