Senior Director of Marketing, Business Strategy & Analytics, 2013-Present
B/A Products Co., The Heico Companies
As a member of B/A Products’ senior leadership team, I have set the strategic vision and marketing plan for the business, led and executed digital transformation efforts, and developed the internal culture to gain buy-in for implementation of these goals. During this time, the business has realized more than 1,000% growth alongside strong brand recognition and loyalty from distributors and end-users alike. Part of my role includes developing relationships and collaborations with OEM’s and partners like Allstate, Tesla, Mercedes, Netflix and popular YouTube channels. On an annual basis, I develop and present the business unit’s strategic plan together with our President to Heico stakeholders. Beyond the business unit, I also work with Heico’s Treasury Dept. and CFO to develop Heico’s annual financial reports.
I manage the information systems, marketing, eCommerce sales channels, and all creative departments. Projects have spanned everything from re-branding, to product development and prototyping, organic social media campaigns, developing new eCommerce sales channels, and much more. Recently, I worked closely with the information systems manager to build a temporary data infrastructure to digitize the legacy system. The outcome was real-time relational data to feed business decisions at all levels. Today, I am supervising an ERP migration to Microsoft D365.
