Chameleon Collective
VP of Growth - Partner
Apr 2021 - Present
We grow companies.
Our Collective solves challenges across business, brand, product, executive recruiting, and technology. We have developed a flat, flexible, and efficient model that allows us to support our clients by providing top-down leadership that drives change and accelerates growth, subject matter experts that can execute challenging tasks, and the ability to find and help build top-tier in-house teams through our network.
We believe our approach is the future of work. We have reinvented the traditional company by removing;
- Traditional hierarchies,
- Unnecessary costs, and
- A business model that breed inflexibility.
As a Chameleon I focus on VP/ SVP of Growth, Chief Marketing Officer and VP of Marketing roles for my clients. My clients hire me for all challenges in their path to substantial growth like: marketing channel disparity (i.e. dependence on only one or two growth channels), growth potential in their existing channel mix (i.e. paid social, paid search, TV/ OTT, SEO, etc.), as well as onboarding new growth channels.
