Skullcandy
Leading global marketing and creative to modernize an iconic youth-culture brand, reconnect it to its boardsports heritage, and build its next phase of growth.
Building brands, movements, and opportunities through the connective power of culture.
I do my best work at inflection points, where culture, community, and commercial ambition need to become one clear idea.
I’ve helped brands through moments of scale, reinvention, and change, including helping grow Vans to more than $4B, creating the first global Park skateboarding championships, and modernizing Skullcandy for a new generation. The playbooks now used by global brands across categories were pioneered in communities like skateboarding, where attention must be earned and credibility cannot be bought.
