Executive Marketing Advisor

Senior marketing strategy
without the full-time hire.

I partner with CMOs, VPs of Marketing, and founders at B2B SaaS and growth-stage companies to sharpen positioning, accelerate go-to-market execution, and transform customer insight into growth. Drawing on deep expertise in product marketing, brand positioning, advocacy & community, and voice of customer, I help companies build customer-centric growth engines that drive adoption, loyalty, and revenue.

What I do

Strategy & frameworks that scale your people and close the gap.

The strategic marketing muscle that's often out of reach for growing teams minus the cost and ramp of a full-time hire.

01

Product Marketing & Positioning

Elevate the narrative from features and functionality to category leadership with clear product marketecture, differentiated positioning, and sales-ready messaging across buyer personas.

02

Customer Advocacy & Community

Advisory boards, advocacy, and community programs that ignite customer-led growth, shape your product roadmap, and accelerate revenue growth.

03

Voice of the Customer (VoC)

Buyer intelligence from win/loss analysis, segmentation, and research that drives sharper go-to-market decisions.

04

GTM & Sales Enablement

Launch strategy, value selling, battlecards, and ROI tools which translate product value into compelling buyer conversations that increase pipeline and improve conversion.

05

Pricing & Packaging

Value-based pricing and packaging aligned to customer segments and willingness to pay, with the governance and decision frameworks needed to capture maximum value.

06

Brand Experience

The brand and category foundations that create clarity, consistency, and momentum with a craft built over a career spanning enterprise and consumer markets.

AI is woven through when and where it makes sense. It is an accelerator to best-in-class frameworks and a way to do more with less, never a substitute for the strategy underneath.

Establishing and leading the Event MarTech intelligence category

Challenge
A self-funded, women-owned, employee-operated event platform with 27+ years of proven success serving event planners and agencies. The strategic opportunity was to build on that foundation and widen the aperture to also attract the broader marketing and revenue leaders who invest in events. Brand needed to stand apart from a crowded industry of big name logistics-based event software companies.
Approach
Started in an advisory capacity with a board seat: an assessment of the business, sales, and marketing performance. Reimagined positioning, messaging, campaigns, content, and digital strategy, and brought in new partnerships poised for growth. Continuing that work as fractional CMO, focused on business, sales, and marketing strategy.
Event Intelligence
Built on 27+ years of success serving event planners and agencies, now with AI enhanced intelligence to help marketing and revenue teams scale faster. Proven ROI for every event with +30% spend efficiency.
