Christian Dion

Helping B2B companies ditch yesterday's marketing playbook for sustainable growth. I work with forward-thinking teams to build modern demand engines that actually drive pipeline and revenue.
I help companies that need:
- Full-funnel strategies across Brand, Demand, and Expand—not just short-term tactics
- Marketing that builds trust instead of burning it on quick wins
- Campaigns that recognize today's chaotic, multi-threaded buyer journey
- Paid media that connects with real buyers, not just vanity metrics
- Systems that create compounding momentum, not siloed activities

**Available for short projects or fractional leadership where I can help transform how you think about demand generation.

My career path? Let's just say it's been more jazz than classical.

Started in Fortune 500, mastering the most important skill (sales) at P&G and PepsiCo. Caught the digital wave at Yahoo!. Then turned entrepreneur, orchestrating marketing campaigns that turned heads (and delivered 5X ROI).

I blend enterprise wisdom with startup instincts. See opportunities in blind spots. Turn marketing systems into revenue engines.

At Motorola Solutions, transformed demand gen into a pipeline machine, leading an eight-person team that unlocked millions in enterprise deals.

At Broadsign, engineered ABM strategies that conquered markets across continents.

My superpower? Making B2B marketing feel human while delivering hard revenue. Creating systems that scale while keeping authenticity at the core.

In a world obsessed with AI, I still believe the best growth comes from understanding people first.

👉 Currently seeking my next adventure—ready to build something remarkable with a high-growth tech company that thinks differently.
