About

Hi👋 I'm Kirstie, a B2C and B2B marketing leader, and I help organisations reach the right customers with the right messages at the right time. I have grown companies of all sizes, from bootstrapped start ups to giants like Google, around the world for the last 10 years. A couple of highlights from this international path include: leading a 20+ global marketing and sales team, validating proof of concept for a SaaS solution to help secure millions in Series B funding and spearheading Google for Education's presence at Bett (four times!), the world's largest edtech tradeshow. Through these varied experiences, I've learnt all about creating successful go to market strategies and launching products, connecting siloed teams and, candidly, getting things done. When I'm not working you can find me behind my kindle, on the tennis court or on my mat (...normally just stretching).
