Andrew Hawthorn
@andrewhawthorn
Product Marketing leader with 20+ years of experience driving growth.
What I'm looking for
As a seasoned Product Marketing leader and storyteller, I have over 20 years of experience transforming complex technologies into compelling narratives that drive revenue. My journey has been marked by significant achievements, including growing revenue tenfold for three products through innovative go-to-market strategies for AI-driven data management solutions.
At Hawthorn Marketing, my boutique consultancy, I provide strategic fractional CMO services to high-growth technology firms and nonprofits in the Bay Area. My efforts have led to a 26% increase in pipeline for a large nonprofit and have empowered a major cloud vendor to scale its training for over 10,000 sales makers. Previously, as Senior Director of Product Marketing at Informatica, I managed a high-performing team that consistently exceeded demand generation targets, earning recognition as the top marketing team in 2021.
My passion for mentoring is reflected in my role as an educator, where I teach product marketing and storytelling to over 100 MBA students at San Jose State University. I believe in the power of effective communication and strategic thinking to drive business success, and I am committed to fostering the next generation of marketing leaders.
