About
Passionate about building brands and businesses through good content, good product, hustle and humor. I’m the GM of Chicago Inno, a digital media and events company supporting and covering local startup ecosystems. As the general manager, I oversee all operations of the business, growing audience, revenue, and staff year-over-year. Prior to Chicago Inno, I built and managed the marketing team for social engagement startup FanFueled, spearheading product development, account management, and customer acquisition. We helped brands like Anheuser Busch, Pepsi, and the X-Games accelerate sales and awareness through white-labeled social games; you can view examples of our work here: https://www.fanfueled.com/overview. I began my career at Wayfair, a leading e-commerce company, and helped build its PR department. Outside of work, I’m an active participant in the storied Chicago comedy scene, having performed with Second City’s House Team.Company Spotlight in Tech
