Most of the growth challenges I've seen weren't execution problems. They showed up in execution, but the real constraints were upstream — in how decisions were made, how priorities were set, and how the revenue engine was designed.
I've spent my career leading teams through those moments: running marketing and sales organizations, owning the P&L, and being in the room where the hard decisions were made.
The work has included rebuilding marketing orgs in the middle of a growth-stall. I've run a national demand-generation platform competing head-to-head against Zillow and Realtor.com. My teams have integrated acquisitions seamlessly into existing go-to-market motions. I've inherited revenue engines that evolved by accident and redesigned them with intent.
Now I bring that operator experience into advisory work: getting into the room, asking the questions that surface the real constraint, and working alongside leadership teams until the decision is made and owned by the people executing it.
Working closely with me means you'll get direct feedback, high standards, a bias toward action, and someone who finds the work genuinely fun. I'm transparent about what I see, I push back when I think the team is headed somewhere that won't work, and I always bring energy.
That combination — an operator who's carried the number, plus the strategic discipline to find the actual root cause — is what I bring to every engagement.
Before starting Brumme Partners, I served as Chief Marketing Officer at Aceable, where I led marketing and growth across the company's education and certification businesses during a period of rapid expansion. I sharpened strategic focus (we stopped several programs), rebuilt the marketing organization, transformed customer acquisition into a scalable growth engine, and led the integration of two acquisitions into Aceable's go-to-market motion.
Prior to Aceable, I was Vice President & General Manager at Builder Homesite Inc. (now Zonda), where I ran BDX's digital marketplace businesses including NewHomeSource — the largest demand-generation platform in the U.S. for new-construction homes. I owned strategy, product, marketing, and growth across the platform.
Earlier, I held senior marketing roles at SolarWinds, Kodak Gallery (now Shutterfly), and Intuit, building scalable acquisition engines and modernizing digital customer experiences across global markets. I began my career as a management consultant with Sapient (now Publicis Sapient) and KPMG Consulting, leading strategy and transformation engagements for Fortune 500 clients.
I hold an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University and a Bachelor of Commerce from McGill University.
