I'm looking for a role where I can own product marketing end to end, treating sales enablement, positioning, and go to market as one connected discipline with an emphasis on strategy. I’m looking for real impact, on a team that trusts people to own their area.

@michelemascolo
I build product marketing functions and GTM programs that drive adoption.
What I'm looking for
I've built product marketing functions and go-to-market programs across payments, SaaS, web development, and manufacturing. At Deluxe Merchant Services, I established the company’s first product marketing function across four business units supporting 135K merchants.
I led three feature launches, including split payments with a flagship ISV partner, reaching 15% adoption among eligible merchants in three months. I also centralized sales content in Highspot, drove 80%+ rep adoption, trained 25 sales reps, and built competitive intelligence resources used in competitive deals.
Previously, I grew merchant activations 80% year over year through partner marketing, delivered 30% sales growth at Star Rapid in 2021 and 15% in 2022, and built marketing teams and content programs from the ground up. I bring a practical, cross-functional approach to positioning, sales enablement, localization, and measurable growth.
