@celestechesser
I build B2B marketing and go-to-market strategies for complex technology, AI, energy, and infrastructure offerings.
What I'm looking for
At ThinkOnward, a Shell company, I built product marketing and go-to-market capabilities for oil and gas technology, AI, and geoscience solutions. I translate complex technical offerings into positioning, commercialization plans, sales enablement, and integrated programs that support growth.
Previously, I led marketing across the Americas for Soben during its acquisition by Accenture, contributing to $45M+ in enterprise wins and supporting brand integration, pursuit strategy, and executive communications. At MAREK Bros. and CivilTech Engineering, I built marketing infrastructure, led high-value pursuits, and connected brand strategy to business development.
My work began in New York advertising and experiential marketing for brands including Twitter, Target, BMW, Nike, and Uber. I approach marketing as a commercial function: understanding the business problem first, then building the positioning, systems, and cross-functional alignment to solve it.
