What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned marketing director with over 10 years of experience in driving growth for high-growth businesses across SaaS, digital education, and eCommerce sectors. My expertise lies in performance marketing, lifecycle strategy, and full-funnel optimization, where I have successfully built and led multi-functional teams to achieve remarkable results. I thrive in dynamic environments, leveraging data-driven insights to develop high-converting digital ecosystems that propel businesses from startup to 8-figure turnover.
Throughout my career, I have spearheaded marketing and operations for a portfolio of fast-growing online education and SaaS brands, delivering a seven-figure product launch in just one week through coordinated performance campaigns and conversion funnel optimization. My hands-on approach ensures that I am deeply involved in brand development, performance marketing, and enhancing customer experience. I am passionate about aligning teams and executing cross-functional strategies that drive measurable results.
As a co-founder of a successful startup, I took the product from concept to acquisition within 12 months, showcasing my ability to lead go-to-market strategies and align product features with market needs. I am committed to continuous learning and growth, and I am excited about the opportunity to bring my strategic vision and operational expertise to a forward-thinking organization.
