Executive Social & Ghostwriting

I’ve ghostwritten for executives at PitchBook, Microsoft, Zendesk, and multiple AI startups. My process: I listen first, identify each leader’s genuine conviction areas, then write content that sounds like them at their most articulate.

The first text-only post I wrote for John Gabbert, PitchBook’s founder and CEO. I stripped the visual and let the writing do the work. It became John’s most-engaged post of 2023 — because it felt true to him (customer-obsessed, loves celebrating his team), it was timely (tied to Customer Service Day), and the celebratory tone outperformed more boastful content.

Three samples of ghostwritten LinkedIn content for a senior Zendesk executive — spanning CX + AI thought leadership, partner collaboration, and community building. Voice: confident, human, grounded in real experience.

Microsoft Executives — Multiple Leaders

LinkedInGhostwritingMicrosoft

Selected LinkedIn posts ghostwritten for technology executives at Microsoft. Each leader had a distinct voice, audience, and set of priorities — my role was to develop content that served all three simultaneously.

Content Strategy & Copywriting

These samples show how I translate information into content — choosing the right hook, building narrative momentum, and making dense or dry material feel worth reading.

Webinar Promotion — PitchBook LinkedIn

View post ↗

Post copy humanizing a digital CTA (webinar registration). My theory: spotlighting the person behind the content outperforms a graphic of the event. The first sentence connects the visual to the intent immediately — what I call “above the fold” on LinkedIn. This became our second-most engaged research post that year.

Data Story — PitchBook LinkedIn + Instagram

View ↗

Collaborated with an analyst to build a social-first story around a data visualization I spotted in a report. Rewrote the chart title, designed the graphic, and wrote post copy that connected the visual to the story. Outperformed benchmarks on both LinkedIn and Instagram.

Product Milestone Post — PitchBook LinkedIn

Designed the graphic and wrote post copy in collaboration with the product team. Framed a product milestone as a celebration of client value rather than a feature announcement.

961% increase from average post shares over 9 months. Most-shared LinkedIn post in that window.

Design & Graphics

Self-taught in graphic design and photography. I’ve designed social graphics, packaging, brand identity systems, and editorial assets.

Seattle Chocolate — Packaging Design

Redesigned packaging for two existing products using sales data to identify the opportunity. Maintained structural form (no new dielines), pitched to senior leadership, executed the full design, and oversaw printing. The packaging was sold in grocery stores, REI, and boutiques throughout the Pacific Northwest — and opened new sales accounts.

I’ve concepted, directed, filmed, edited, and scripted short-form video across multiple brands — working with both in-house production talent and DIY/AI-assisted workflows.

Concepted and produced this employee spotlight video. I provided creative direction, wrote the post copy, and worked with our in-house production team on the edit.

Annual Awards Ceremony — PitchBook LinkedIn + Instagram

Filmed 80% of this video on the day of the ceremony, concepted the story arc, collaborated on the edit, and wrote all post copy.

Top Instagram post YTD. 102 shares (3rd most-shared post ever). Second-best LinkedIn post YTD.

Analyst Interview Series — PitchBook

View ↗

Filmed and edited this video series, wrote all post copy. The format — concise analyst insights delivered directly to camera — outperformed average video engagement across LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts.

docusrch — AI-Assisted Video

Used Runway AI to generate a student-in-library stock scene, then edited with music and sound effects for a TikTok-native teaser. Also produced a meme video using CapCut — an example of adapting popular social formats to align with a brand message.

I’ve managed 100+ influencer relationships across CPG brands — from identification and vetting through contract negotiation, creative briefing, and performance analysis.

A selection of personal creative work — a self-published cookbook, a vibe-coded app, and illustration and photography.

Collaborated with two other creatives to self-publish a cookbook from the ground up — recipe testing, writing from the author’s perspective, art direction, food photography, and selling the book to key accounts. Every aspect of production involved my direct contribution.
