Enterprise | B2B | SaaS | PLG | Developer Marketing | AI/ML | Data & AnalyticsHighly regarded, outcome-oriented VP of Product Marketing (Sharebird Top 100 Product Marketing Mentors) who excels at storytelling, product positioning, messaging, persona-based marketing, customer journey mapping, competitive analysis, ICP, and GTM strategy. An exceptional cross-functional leader whose background in Product, Marketing, and Presales enables effective collaboration and influence on roadmap and campaigns for rapid product-market fit. Orchestrated countless product launches and new product introductions while responsible for market-leading portfolios and award-winning products. Strong team leader with a player-coach mentality, having built and mentored PMM teams from as small as 3 to over 85 across two or more reporting layers. Career Highlights:• Positioned Couchbase for its 2021 IPO by unlocking growth from $50M to $100M in ARR: Joined amid a disappointing FY19 due to a failed effort in new category creation and immediately engaged leaders across Engineering, Product, Marketing, and Sales to achieve cross-functional alignment on our technical personas and the buyer’s journey. Subsequently, I re-aligned GTM strategy to a developer-first, open-source PLG motion and beat the FY20 plan – by Q3.• At OpenText, managed an 85+ member Product Marketing team across four reporting layers: As OpenText grew from $1B to $2B, mentored and expanded the 65-member team via headcount growth, re-organization (Industry & Solutions Marketing), and acquisition (Documentum™, Guidance Software, HP Software assets in Customer Communication and Customer Experience Management). Directly influenced 125% attainment of pipeline target through a $2.5M product and content marketing budget.• Ramped adoption of IBM Watson Analytics to 1M users in under a year: Pioneered novel PLG and digital marketing tactics for IBM’s GenAI-powered data analytics service and first freemium SaaS offering. Worked cross-functionally with Corporate, AR, DG, Product, and Design to retrain SDRs, build an influencer program, and develop a TV spot, digital OOH advertising, and sports sponsorships, culminating in an IBM Signature Moment and the #9 spot on InfoWorld's “2016 Technology of the Year Award”.
