More

Strategic CMO specializing in B2B tech companies focused on AI, ML, and privacy. Frequently the first senior marketing hire for startups, I've worked with 50+ founding teams—from fundraising through M&A. I build full-stack marketing operations from scratch, spanning brand, product, and demand, with proven results driving pipeline growth and increased ACV. I lead as a player-coach, motivating teams through hands-on execution and collaboration. My approach balances rapid iteration with strategic vision, adapting quickly to shifting priorities and competitive markets. An early adopter of AI tools for marketing, I'm experienced in both staff leadership (Head of Marketing/CMO) and senior consulting roles, with a bias for action and commitment to helping founders navigate strategic inflection points.

  1. Job: SurePayroll — Head of Brand and Content Marketing · 2026-01 – present · 7 mo — I lead brand and content marketing at SurePayroll, a Paychex company, where my job is to make payroll feel simple and trustworthy for the small business owners who'd rather be running their business than running payroll. I own our brand voice and content strategy end to end — from persona and buyer's journey research through editorial planning, production, and compliance — building a content engine that turns deep knowledge of our customers into work that actually moves pipeline. I focus on using AI to accelerate content production, improving campaign performance, and unlocking better insights to support faster, smarter decision-making.

  3. Job: The Creator's Map: 10 Stages from Spark to Finish — Author · 2025-01 – present · 1y 7mo — The Creator’s Map is a guide to — and through — the process of completing creative and entrepreneurial projects, managing the (entirely predictable) emotional challenges and solutions along the way. You may want to write a novel, a memoir or a song. But your goals don't need to be artistic. You may want to start a business, advance a theory, launch a movement, save a species, or learn how to throw ceramic pots on a wheel. When it comes to projects with personal meaning, doubts and delays, false starts and U-turns — not to mention pure existential panic — are the "hard part." But ways around — or through — the emotional thickets tend to be left out of straightforward how-to guides. There's…

At the intersection of go-to-market strategy and AI-powered execution.

  7. Job: Camille Landau Consulting — Portfolio GTM strategy and execution advisement · 2007-01 – 2026-07 · 19y 6mo — I work with investors and founders to make sure marketing matches the quality of the investment.
