  • Architect and lead the centralized organic growth roadmap for the Golden Hippo brand portfolio, defining cross-channel operating models that bridge brand storytelling and technical performance.

  • Drive the evolution from traditional SEO to Entity-Based Optimization, ensuring our experts and brands are recognized as primary authorities in Google’s Knowledge Graph.

  • Build Golden Hippo’s roadmap for visibility across AI-driven interfaces like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google Search Generative Experience.

  • Define and track unified KPIs that prove the value of organic, focusing on share of voice, sentiment, and organic-to-conversion attribution.
