Martha Cottrill
@marthacottrill
I build growth, partnerships, and operating systems for high-growth companies.
What I'm looking for
I've built and scaled venture-backed and high-growth businesses across SaaS, health, wellness, and consumer products. At Bartesian, I helped lead brand strategy, positioning, and go-to-market for a top 1% Kickstarter campaign and supported its first strategic investment at a $20M valuation.
As Co-Founder and CEO of Habitly, I grew a B2B2C SaaS platform to 10K+ users while leading product, operations, finance, marketing, partnerships, and commercialization. At D2L's SkillsWave, I built the partnership ecosystem from 4 to 45+ organizations and now advise founders and executive teams on strategy, go-to-market, operations, organizational design, and growth.
