Summary
From strategy to tactical implementation, I'm a highly competent and results-driven marketing and sales professional who is skilled at building marketing organizations and scaling them for fast growth as well as successful exits including Cygnus Solutions' $674M acquisition by RedHat and Intland Software GmbH's $280M acquisition by PTC. B2B - I've led enterprise-level technical sales and marketing teams most recently in Data Management, NLP/NLG, Software Development Tools, Cybersecurity, MarTech Tools, and Open Source Software. Targeted highly regulated industries including Medical, Defense & Avionics, Automotive, etc. in start-up, hyper-growth, and established corporate environments, as the principal of a sales and marketing consultancy, and as a member of the executive sales and marketing teams. I built Intland Software GmbH's marketing function from the ground up in 2013 before becoming the #1 sales executive in North America and #1 outside of Germany through Q3 2019. B2C - A recent highlight is I was the co-founder of WEDrives-In, a self-funded drive-in movie theater reimagined HQed in Santa Monica, CA during COVID. Responsible for operations, I was able to achieve: - 0 to 900+ Instagram followers in a month via Gen Z influencers - Top 3 organic search results on Yelp & GoogleMyBusiness in 3 weeks. - Architected an IT infrastructure including configuring a SquareOnline website that supported sold-out 18 of the first 20 shows and almost every weekend thereafter. Known to be persuasive, creative, and a fast learner. I build trust quickly and am a creative problem solver. My high energy and creativity were some of the reasons I was recognized by HP as a top 9% contributor worldwide. Articulating competitive differentiators and writing compelling copy have resulted in HP recruiting me to be an in-house writing course instructor. I co-authored the #1 most frequently downloaded premium content that was a sales lead generator for a marketing automation software company, LeadFormix. Specialties: Marketing, sales, social media, and business development expertise in software, hardware, and services. Industry experience includes enterprise-class software development tools, marketing automation software, b2b and b2c security software targeted at financial services, healthcare, and government as well as end-user consumers. Prior industry experience includes open-source software, embedded systems, electronic design automation, CAD/CAM software, computer hardware, and green tech (wastewater treatment & sheet metal stamping).
