Fractional CMO for Healthcare

Your Fractional Healthcare Marketer.

Small Healthcare Businesses, Big Marketing Outcomes

As a healthcare CEO, you face relentless challenges—convincing potential clients to adopt your innovative solutions, navigating complex regulatory landscapes, and differentiating your offerings in a crowded healthcare technology market—without the bandwidth or resources of larger organizations.

That’s where come in. I provide Fractional Chief Marketing Officer services tailored to the unique needs of
small healthcare businesses, delivering high-impact marketing leadership without the full-time cost.

I bring extensive multi-sector healthcare experience

Why Choose Me?

I understand the complex intricacies of healthcare marketing—from navigating regulatory body approval pathways (FDA, EMEA) and payer/provider gatekeeping to ensuring marketing content aligns with legal, regulatory, and clinical requirements. I work with medical device startups, medtech innovators, and small clinical practices to build practical, cost-effective strategies that support sustainable growth and clinical credibility.

Deep Healthcare Knowledge

With decades in healthcare, I know how to shape marketing that respects regulatory and compliance, and connects with your diverse, multi-channel audiences.

Compliant Swift Impact

I move quickly while maintaining the rigor healthcare demands. Whether you’re preparing for a launch or navigating clinical milestones, I align marketing efforts with your growth stage—and stay within healthcare’s complex guardrails.

Data-driven Marketing

I tie marketing metrics to milestones and business benchmarks to ensure campaigns deliver measurable ROI. Strategy is only valuable if it works and holds up under scrutiny.

What Challenges Do I Solve?

I provide fractional executive marketing for organizations without in-house marketing expertise:

Whether you’re entering a new regulated market, preparing for funding, trying to get in front a buying committee, or struggling to build provider relationships, I create and execute marketing for these diverse audiences.

From navigating long and complex buying cycles to raising seed money and clinical launch milestones, I bring the strategy, structure, and momentum to regulated, resource-constrained environments. 

 

My marketing approach:

Healthcare Marketing Strategies That Work

Your healthcare marketing can’t run on guesswork. I take a structured, marketing data-backed approach built for small teams navigating complex environments.

I start by understanding your true market opportunity—how many customers you can realistically reach, and what it will take to convert them. From there, I define the metrics that matter most, align them with your organization goals, and build a budget tied to the full customer journey—not just top-of-funnel tactics.

It’s a practical, collaborative process that brings focus to your marketing and accountability to your results.

A Proven Track Record Healthcare CEOs Count On

When you don’t have a marketing leader in place, it’s easy for marketing execution to stall or scatter. I bring the structure, experience, and accountability life science CEOs need to move forward with results.
 
Here’s why CEOs trust me:

 

  • Clear, focused strategies aligned to revenue—not just marketing activity

  • Experience turning under-performing tactics into meaningful results

  • A straightforward, no-agency approach that respects your time and resources

 

As a certified Women-Owned Business, I combine trusted leadership with practical execution—so you get marketing that actually works, not just more ideas.
