Experience

  • MarketingOps.com (9 yrs 6 mos)
    • Community-led Founder and CEO
      Jun 2022 - Present · 4 yrs 1 mo

      With very few exceptions, the majority of products in the Marketing Automation and MarTech space have completely failed to build products and features for the Marketing Operations Professional. The industry just keeps giving us more tech to integrate, manage and maintain. I'll be taking a community-led approach to building resources that are purpose-built for MO Pros to: - build centers of excellence that help us demonstrate ROI and earn us a seat at the proverbial “table” of leadership - help us easily and efficiently accomplish work that we NEVER have time for (hang on, I have another fire 🔥 to put out) - prove that we’re getting the most out of the technology we’re managing

      The number one community for Marketing Operations Professionals. I don’t know about you, but I have always found it really hard to find other Marketing Operations Pros to network with both locally and online. So in January 2017, I started a Slack channel dedicated to connecting with Marketing Operations Professionals. Today we're a growing community of wicked smart Marketing Operations Professionals who love learning and collaborating with each other. You can join us here: https://www.marketingops.com/join
