TYB.AI

Ever find yourself trying to balance one kid’s endless homework with another who’s always looking for something new to do? We do too! 

That’s why, as a family, we decided to build TYB.AI, an educational platform that’s all about meeting kids where they’re at—whether they’re craving more challenges or need some extra support.

I’ve been a software developer for over a decade, and when my kids’ learning needs didn’t quite fit the typical solutions, we figured, why not create something that could? TYB.AI is designed to make learning fun, engaging, and tailored to each kid’s unique needs. It’s a family project with a big vision: to one day grow TYB.AI into a non-profit dedicated to helping kids everywhere.

This is a side venture for us, but it’s a passion we’re excited to share with other parents and educators. If you’re curious about what we’re building, or if you know a kid who could benefit from a little extra support and challenge in their learning journey, feel free to reach out.

President, Ladderspot | A Growth Marketing Agency | Former CMO at Boeing | Former US Diplomat, Veteran

I have spent more than 20 years leading GTM and marketing operations in environments where timing, precision, and accountability were non-negotiable. My path runs through AI platforms, commercial SaaS launches, defense technology portfolios, and enterprise transformations that required structure, clarity, and budgets that held under real scrutiny. I have built GTM systems that connect spend to revenue outcomes, create predictable operating cadence, and ensure leadership has full visibility into what is working, what is stalling, and what requires a reset.

My experience includes serving as CMO of Viasat Defense during its rapid revenue expansion from 900M to 1.3B, leading Boeing’s brand and venture portfolio realignment during its most public inflection point and founding a VC-backed AI adtech platform by prioritizing attribution accuracy, launch logic, and sustained customer adoption. Before that, I built and scaled a GTM agency from zero to 15M ARR and served as a Diplomat and Senior Army Strategist, where communication alignment and operating rhythm mattered in ways that shaped how I approach this work today.

I focus on building systems that allow organizations to scale without sacrificing clarity. I work closely with CMOs, CFOs, CROs and RevOps to ensure marketing is not a creative function sitting apart from revenue, but a disciplined engine aligned to pipeline maturity, ARR targets, and executive decision cycles. I am at my best when expectations are high, measurement is clear, and the work requires translating complexity into something that can withstand real operational pressure.

If your organization is looking for leadership that treats GTM as the connective structure between investment and outcome, I would welcome the chance to connect.

📫 I look forward to connecting with you here on LinkedIn or at sgilfillan@gmail.com
