About
I am a cybersecurity marketing executive with a track record of building go-to-market functions from early stage through successful exit. Not once, but twice. My work spans category creation, demand generation, analyst relations, ABM, and M&A integration, always in service of one goal: turning a great security product into a market-leading brand.
At PhishLabs, I helped scale from under $2M to $26M ARR, building the marketing foundation that made acquisition by Fortra possible. Before that at Secureworks, I was part of the team that grew from $8M to over $100M ARR ahead of the Dell acquisition. Both experiences taught me how to move fast with lean resources, align marketing tightly with sales, and build the kind of brand equity that compounds.
I thrive in the GTM build-out phase, when the strategy needs to be invented, not inherited. If you are a cybersecurity company ready to scale, I would love to talk.
