I build SaaS and EdTech go-to-market strategies, positioning, and messaging grounded in customer research.
What I'm looking for
I've built go-to-market strategy for MeetLab.AI's US entry, defining ICPs, buyer personas, positioning, and acquisition-channel hypotheses for an AI meeting automation SaaS product. My competitive research across seven-plus tools identified differentiation gaps that shaped the product's core value proposition.
Previously, I built an education organization's marketing strategy from zero in Tunisia, increasing engagement by 17% and enrollment conversion by 15%. Across EdTech and SaaS, I've conducted 50+ user interviews, translated customer pain points into product messaging, and supported retention and product decisions through structured user feedback.
