About
My unique background includes leading marketing organizations, driving pipeline growth through innovative demand generation, defining channel strategies across multiple industries, and championing the customer's voice through account management. With 30+ years of working with B2B and B2C enterprises, small businesses, and start-ups, I have had the opportunity to lead marketing functions, define strategic objectives, execute integrated marketing programs that exceeded business growth targets, and launched new products.
My reputation defines me as an individual that is not bound by a “box” (why limit oneself to any “box”), one that puts “market” in marketing (customer insights and voice), and the ability to successfully balance “science and art” (analytics for ROI and messaging for brand development).
My leadership philosophy is one that values the insights and learnings gained from talented work partners, team members and mentors over the years.
Experience includes:
• Transforming an org's go-to-market strategies by accelerating pipeline growth (business unit & start-up)
• Designing and implementing sales and marketing strategies that drive scalable results
• Managing client relationships and internal resources to incorporate “voice of customer"
• Leading marketing teams globally, regionally and an account-level
• Partnering across organizations (product, finance, IT, sales & marketing)
• Accelerating demand generation (marketing automation, lead conversion, messaging strategy, content development, customer segmentation, sales enablement, digital)
• Optimizing marketing mix (integrated marketing plans, partner marketing, channel marketing, digital / social / traditional media)
• Evolving messaging and re-branding an identity (new product launches, market expansion & product positioning)
• Industries: wireless, consumer electronics, hi-tech, manufacturing, online education, and finical services, and SaaS platforms
