About Lana
I’m a senior marketing professional with 13+ years of experience across growth strategy, digital marketing, social media, CRM, eCommerce, customer experience and marketing technology.
I’ve worked across global B2B organisations, technology, healthcare, eCommerce and growing Australian businesses, including Schneider Electric, leading marketing initiatives from strategy through to hands-on execution.
My strength is connecting the different parts of marketing — brand, content, social, acquisition, customer journeys, CRM, automation and data — into a clear strategy that supports commercial growth.
I can step into a business at different levels: developing marketing or go-to-market strategy, leading campaigns and digital channels, building social and content strategy, improving CRM and customer journeys, or providing senior marketing leadership on a fractional or project basis.
I’m equally comfortable setting direction and getting hands-on with delivery, working with internal teams, agencies and senior stakeholders to turn strategy into measurable action.
My experience includes Shopify, Salesforce, HubSpot, Klaviyo, GA4, GTM, Power BI and Tableau, alongside AI-assisted marketing workflows and automation.
Selected results include 101% eCommerce growth, increasing eCommerce conversion from 1.5% to 4.1%, +61% customer retention, +46% average order value and a 30% reduction in Meta cost per lead.
I’m particularly interested in fractional, contract and project-based opportunities where a business needs experienced marketing capability without necessarily building a full senior marketing function in-house.
