Digitate™ is one of the fastest growing AIOps companies with approximately $100 mil in annual revenues and 250+ enterprise customers - It has been and continues to be an absolute pleasure building a high-performing team of Product Marketing Managers from scratch. I would love to talk to any marketing professional and exchange notes on the dos and don'ts of this process. We have built scalable processes for GTM, Sales Enablement, Content Generation, MQL-SQL conversion, an active blog platform, and the team has created asset templates and delivered compelling material all the way from positioning and messaging documents, product decks, product brochures, FAQs to battle cards, infographics, ebooks, SDR playbooks, sales kits and customer success stories. Also created a thriving blog program that resulted in 500% more blogposts than previous 3 years combined. I would love to share my experiences and also learn from you to incorporate the best industry practices into our marketing group and further optimize the process for a faster time to revenue and customer adoption. From a domain perspective, I had authored an eBook on AI and Machine Learning. Some other areas of interest include AIOps, Observability and Gen AI. Feel free to ping me anytime if you want to talk about any of the above topics. Lets chat :-)
