I turn complex B2B products into clear, results-driven campaigns. From tightly regulated finance to medical technology, I design and build marketing systems that generate qualified pipelines — combining strategic thinking with hands-on technical execution.

Based in Sydney, I specialise in marketing automation, CRM integration, and performance-driven campaigns for B2B companies in finance, healthcare, and professional services.

Proven Experience in Complex B2B Sectors

HR Advisory & Professional Services

At Peninsula Australia — Australia's largest HR advisory firm — I rebuilt the entire marketing automation stack. I designed targeted funnels for SafetyCheck, launched a business referral programme, and integrated Marketo with Salesforce to keep data clean and sales aligned. The result: 20K new leads and a 20% lift in sales conversion.

Finance & Asset Management

At Lazard Asset Management I managed marketing for institutional investment products, navigating strict regulatory requirements while driving a 35% lift in campaign engagement. Over five years I delivered 50+ financial whitepapers, quarterly market outlooks, and client-facing materials — and secured two industry awards in the process.

Medical Technology & Healthcare

At Becton Dickinson I created 200+ promotional assets each year, supporting product launches, scientific conferences, and ten-plus major tradeshows. Using Salesforce and marketing automation, I improved email open rates, click-through, and lead generation in one of the most technically demanding sectors going.

Lead Funnel Optimisation System

Challenge

High-volume social media and paid ad leads were entering the CRM with minimal qualification, overwhelming the sales team with low-quality prospects and wasting their time.

Solution

Built performance marketing funnels with multi-tier filtering logic. Implemented custom Salesforce fields and Marketo workflows to automatically score, segment, and route leads based on engagement signals and firmographic data.

Results

  • 20% improvement in sales conversion rates
  • 15% increase in qualified lead flow
  • Reduced lead-to-sales handoff time through automated routing
  • Eliminated manual data entry between systems
Client onboarding automation
Peninsula Australia

Client Onboarding Automation Programme

Challenge

New clients were receiving inconsistent onboarding communication — low engagement with additional services, and a support experience that varied entirely depending on who handled the account.

Solution

Designed and built a multi-touch email automation workflow with dynamic content based on service tier and client industry. Custom HTML templates, behavioural triggers, and personalised journeys — all mapped to brand guidelines.

Results

  • 15% increase in engagement metrics across the onboarding sequence
  • Standardised client experience at scale
  • Freed the marketing team from manual campaign sends
  • Foundation for retargeting and upsell campaigns
Institutional marketing campaign
Lazard Asset Management

Award-Winning Institutional Marketing Campaign

Challenge

Launch a new investment strategy to institutional clients in a highly competitive, regulated environment — where sophistication of positioning matters as much as reach.

Solution

Led a 360° integrated campaign: content strategy, digital advertising, social, and thought leadership. I coordinated with external agencies, compliance, and internal stakeholders to deliver cohesive multi-channel execution without a single regulatory misstep.

Results

  • 35% increase in campaign engagement
  • 1,200+ qualified leads generated annually
  • 2 industry awards for brand innovation
  • Established durable thought leadership in the target market
