Leading product marketing, growth strategy, and revenue operations for a two-sided marketplace connecting SEO agencies with service providers. Driving platform transformation and scaling high-value agency partnerships. PLG & Self-Serve Growth: Owned the self-serve funnel end-to-end, from signup through activation to conversion, using behavioral triggers and PQL-style scoring to identify high-intent users.

Scaled agency partnerships to 35 active partners. Demand Generation: Built a multi-channel acquisition engine across SEO, affiliate programs, and partnerships, acquiring 14,500+ new users. Scaled an affiliate-led growth model driving 45.8% of all platform transactions. ABM & Enterprise Growth: Ran a targeted ABM program converting high-value agency accounts into premium enterprise subscribers, meaningfully expanding the high-LTV customer base and recurring revenue mix. Lifecycle & Retention: Implemented behavioral segmentation and triggered automation (HubSpot/Customer.io), improving purchase frequency by 18% and driving 62K+ incremental transactions through reactivation campaigns. RevOps & Attribution: Institutionalized multi-touch attribution connecting channels to CAC/LTV/ROAS. Introduced a 70/20/10 experimentation framework and built revenue dashboards for real-time pipeline forecasting.

About

I build growth engines that turn products into revenue. I'm a full-stack growth marketing leader with 10+ years bridging Product-Led Growth, Demand Generation, and Revenue Operations in B2B SaaS and platform businesses. My focus is the full funnel: acquisition through activation, monetization, and retention, architected so Product, Marketing, and Sales work off the same growth loop instead of three different playbooks. What I do best: Product-Led Growth (PLG): Own the self-serve funnel end-to-end: signup, activation, PQL scoring, and conversion. Redefined pricing, packaging, and in-product sales narratives to drive 150%+ AOV growth without adding friction to the funnel. Demand Generation: Build multi-channel acquisition engines across SEO, SEM, paid media, affiliate partnerships, and lifecycle automation. Scaled 14,500+ users and 410K+ platform transactions through integrated campaigns and affiliate-led growth loops, with affiliates driving 45.8% of all transactions at peak. Growth & Lifecycle Marketing: Improve activation, retention, and purchase frequency through behavioral segmentation and triggered automation. Drove 62K incremental transactions and an 18% lift in purchase frequency through reactivation campaigns built on PQL-style scoring logic. Revenue Operations (RevOps): Implement multi-touch attribution, CRM governance (HubSpot/Customer.io), and executive dashboards connecting marketing activity to pipeline and revenue. Institutionalized 70/20/10 experimentation frameworks to keep growth spend disciplined and ROI-accountable. Product Marketing & GTM: Define ICPs, craft positioning and messaging, and launch products into market, repositioning a generalist marketplace into a specialized platform as one example of turning a fuzzy value prop into a scalable growth motion. ABM & Enterprise Growth: Architect targeted ABM programs converting high-value accounts into premium enterprise subscribers across US, Middle East, and APAC markets. Industries: B2B SaaS | Marketplaces | Enterprise Technology | Automotive | Agencies Tech Stack: HubSpot · Customer.io · LeadSquared · GA4 · Looker Studio · Ahrefs/SEMrush · Apollo · JIRA Watts Humphrey Award for Design Thinking, recognized for innovative product development and marketing strategies. Looking to take on a senior growth leadership role where I can own the PLG funnel and demand engine end-to-end, build high-impact marketing teams, and drive measurable revenue outcomes across B2B or marketplace businesses.
