Executive Marketing Advisor

Senior marketing strategy — without the full-time hire.

I partner with CMOs, VPs of Marketing, and founders at B2B SaaS and growth-stage companies to sharpen positioning, accelerate go-to-market execution, and transform customer insight into growth. Drawing on deep expertise in product marketing, advocacy, voice of customer, and community, I help companies build customer-centric growth engines that drive adoption, loyalty, and revenue.

What I do

Strategy & frameworks that scale your people and close the gap.

The strategic marketing muscle that's often out of reach for growing teams minus the cost and ramp of a full-time hire.

01

Product Marketing & Positioning

Elevate the narrative from features and functionality to category leadership with clear product marketecture, differentiated positioning, and sales-ready messaging across buyer personas.

02

Customer Advocacy & Community

Advisory boards, advocacy, and community programs that ignite customer-led growth, shape your product roadmap, and accelerate revenue growth.

03

Voice of the Customer

Buyer intelligence from win/loss analysis, segmentation, and research that drives sharper go-to-market decisions.

04

GTM & Sales Enablement

Launch strategy, value selling, battlecards, and ROI tools which translate product value into compelling buyer conversations that increase pipeline and improve conversion.

05

Pricing & Packaging

Value-based pricing and packaging aligned to customer segments and willingness to pay, with the governance and decision frameworks needed to capture maximum value.

06

Brand Experience

The brand and category foundations that create clarity, consistency, and momentum — a craft built over a career spanning enterprise and consumer markets.

AI is woven through all of it — an accelerator to best-in-class frameworks and a way to do more with less, never a substitute for the strategy underneath.

Selected experience

Two decades leading marketing — with B2B SaaS at the core.

I've built and transformed marketing across the enterprise-to-startup spectrum, which gives me an instinct for how businesses grow and how they sell into each other.
