About

I help B2B SaaS companies turn marketing into qualified pipeline, measurable revenue, and business growth. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve led demand generation, account-based marketing (ABM), content strategy, and go-to-market (GTM) programs for enterprise B2B SaaS and technology companies. I connect marketing to business outcomes by generating qualified opportunities, improving conversion, accelerating pipeline, and helping sales win more business. Today, I lead enterprise and manufacturing marketing initiatives for Siemens Asset Management Software, partnering with sales, product, and executive leadership to build integrated campaigns that drive growth. Recent accomplishments include helping grow impacted (multi-touch influenced) pipeline by 23% year over year, increasing marketing-qualified leads by 20% quarter over quarter, and launching six sponsored webinars with leading manufacturing publications—including IndustryWeek, Reliable Plant, Plant Services, Food Processing, and Plant Engineering—where 75%+ of attendees were target prospects. I specialize in simplifying complex software and technical solutions into messaging that resonates with decision-makers. Whether launching integrated campaigns, optimizing the buyer journey, or building scalable marketing programs, I believe the best marketing earns trust first—and revenue follows. AI is embedded in my daily workflow, helping me research faster, personalize campaigns, accelerate content creation, increase testing velocity, and make smarter marketing decisions. Outside of work, I’m the founder of Knowledge Enthusiast, where I share practical insights on AI, marketing, productivity, communication, and personal growth through my blog, YouTube channel, Medium publications, and the weekly Fuel Your Mind newsletter.
