A running record of things Olivia has actually shipped. Different problems, different audiences, one habit: see a real problem, build a real thing, put it in front of people.
A social accountability platform for people working toward goals who do better with company. Designed, prototyped, and pushed into beta by a marketing executive, not an engineering team.
Two decades working with businesses across industries, from tech to non-profits, building efficient marketing systems that push the needle forward and help organizations reach their goals and stand out in the marketplace. Digital marketing, rebranding, product launches, and immersive PR, all built to scale with the business.

Olivia has spent more than 25 years building businesses and leading marketing across industries, with deep roots in tech, alongside small and medium-sized businesses and startups along the way. Right now, she's building the go-to-market strategy for a global B2B company, implementing AI solutions to increase efficiency across the function.
What sets her apart isn't a hot take on AI. It's that she builds with it. Audiences leave her talks with things they can do Monday morning, because everything she teaches came from something she shipped.
The through-line of Olivia's story: betting on yourself before you feel ready. From founding a seven-figure company to shipping products as a CMO, this is the talk that gets rooms on their feet.
What's working right now, not in theory. How AI fits into a real marketing org without replacing the humans in it, with examples pulled straight from her own stack.
Solo to scaled: what to build first, what to skip, and how to hire when you're the only marketer in the building. Practical, specific, and battle-tested.
Olivia takes on a limited number of consulting engagements each quarter, working directly with founders and leadership teams on go-to-market strategy, building a marketing function from the ground up, and putting AI to work inside a marketing org. Tell her about your company and what you need, and she'll follow up to see if it's a fit.
