Lance Spurgeon
@lancespurgeon
I’m a Revenue Operations leader specializing in automated marketing and scalable systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a highly skilled marketing strategist with specific expertise of automated marketing, and I bring 17+ years of experience to help clients implement automation tools and techniques. I also lead wider marketing strategy at every stage of the consumer lifecycle, with a balance of technical and professional skills.
In my current role as Head of Revenue Operations at Codility, I support sales and marketing execution through strong marketing operations and automated processes. Previously, as Senior Manager Marketing Operations at Codility, I focused on Marketo-powered lead generation and strategic thinking across teams.
I’ve built my expertise across leading automation products and services, including Marketo and Salesforce, and I’ve supported initiatives involving lead management, lead scoring, multi-channel marketing, and data quality. I’ve also worked with tools such as Tableau, SalesLoft, and ZoomInfo SalesOS, and I take a coaching-forward approach—supporting skill development, mentoring, and operations processes.
Across earlier consulting and specialist roles, I’ve led solution delivery and integrations, including advising on GDPR and developing dynamic Salesforce dashboards and report outputs for event performance and sales funnel influence. Personally, I work with a ‘get things done’ attitude, lead teams with gravitas, and engage stakeholders with innovative ideas.
