I love to craft a story that resonates with an audience and gets results.As a marketing executive with over 30 years of experience in product management, product marketing, and digital marketing, I really enjoy helping B2B companies with positioning, messaging, content creation, demand generation, and revenue growth. I like ‘connecting the dots’ - especially from buyer pain points to a unique selling proposition to useful and educational content.Because my experience spans from large corporations to mid-sized companies to startups, I think I can bring a 'horses for courses' perspective.From large enterprises (e.g., Northern Telecom, Cisco, 3Com) to mid-sized businesses (e.g., ECI Telecom, TippingPoint) to startups (e.g., NetSpeed, Surgient Networks, Click Security) I've been fortunate to work for a wide variety of companies. I've built and managed multiple marketing departments, held seven VP of Marketing/CMO roles, worked directly for over 15 CEOs, served five boards of directors (both public and private), and consulted with over a dozen startup and early stage companies.With an extensive background in cybersecurity and networking technologies, I can speak the language of your engineers and your customers.I'm comfortable learning most any new technology and converting it to content that helps build brand and revenue. My technology experience crosses Networking (Router, VPN, xDSL, PSTN, ISDN, Frame Relay, ATM, IP), Cybersecurity (IPS, NBAD, Security Analytics, Firewall, VPN, MDR, EDR, FDR), and multiple deployment mediums (Cloud - AWS/Azure), Open and closed-source software, appliances and platforms).With me, you get the best of both worlds: a strategic thinker and a hands-on operator.What sets me apart from other CMOs is my ability to operate as a strategist, team builder, or hands-on operator that does the actual work. I've launched multiple products, created or rebranded numerous product lines, built a host of company websites, crafted countless blogs, press releases, white papers, video scripts, presentations, cranked out more spreadsheets than I care to remember, and set up a number of marketing ops/tech stacks.And now I'm on a journey to build as much of marketing on an AI foundation as I can - the fastest moving train I've ever seen.
