From the boardroom
to the classroom.

I serve as a guest lecturer at USC, sharing what actually works in modern marketing with the next generation of business leaders. No theory for theory's sake. Real campaigns, real budgets, real outcomes.

A lecture hall does not care about your *title*. It cares whether the last campaign you ran actually *worked*. That is exactly why I keep walking back into *USC* with fresh case studies and zero canned slides.

Why I keep coming back

Five classes in, and counting.

Every semester I walk into a room of sharp, ambitious students and get the best questions I hear all year. Teaching forces you to prove your ideas out loud. If it does not survive a lecture hall of USC students, it does not belong in a client strategy either.

What the students get.

L-01

Marketing as it is practiced

How agencies actually win, keep, and grow clients. The gap between the syllabus and the street, closed in ninety minutes.

L-02

AI in the real workflow

Where AI genuinely transforms marketing work and where it is just noise. Live examples from campaigns running right now.

L-03

The career they don't teach

Entrepreneurship, networking, and personal brand. How to build a career on relationships and a reputation for delivery.

The students keep me sharp. I would like to think it goes both ways.

For educators and programs

Want this in your classroom?

I am happy to speak with universities, business programs, and student organizations about marketing, entrepreneurship, and AI. If your students deserve a session that does not feel like a lecture, let's talk.
