He has worked both sides of the table. As a New York City hospitality owner since 2010, he knows what it costs to run the place. As a tech marketer, he oversaw partner and hospitality marketing at Yext through its IPO, then helped grow SinglePlatform through its $50M sale to TripAdvisor. Today he builds guest marketing programs that are scalable and measurable, against three numbers: frequency, lifetime value, advocacy.
