Summary
I’m an entrepreneurial senior-level strategic leader with hands-on, growth-focused, revenue-driving experience in Go-To-Market, Sales, Startup Marketing, Technical Marketing, and Community. Contact me at jklarkin+linkedin@gmail.com. My background encompasses 16+ years of GTM leadership roles at venture-backed startups, leading high-performance teams and bringing category-defining products to global markets across diverse industries, including artificial intelligence, computer networking, and B2B SaaS. I have enjoyed working closely with visionary founders, VCs, engineers, and other technical practitioners, helping to build amazing early-stage and growth-stage startups — 3x exits so far — as a first or founding go-to-market leader and advisor. Currently, I find the work of frontier AI labs and cutting-edge AI researchers to be incredibly compelling. I love being an early adopter and advocate of disruptive technologies and their ecosystems — AI/ML (Large Language Models, LLMs, Frontier Models, World Models, Superintelligence, AGI, AI Infrastructure, AI DevTools, Open Source AI, AI Hardware), Robotics, Open Source Software, Developer Tools, Infrastructure, and Decentralized Technologies, to name a few. I believe passion and curiosity make me a valued member of any technical senior leadership team. ++++++
