Director, Marketing

Kathie is an award winning marketer who was recently named to the Future CMO Watchlist from WSJ best selling author, Sangram Vajre. She first realized her passion for marketing when, as a young child, she tortured her parents with an analysis of every ad she encountered. In recent years, Kathie married that passion for marketing with her love of technology. She is a strong believer in lifelong learning and can be found on LinkedIn sharing her thoughts on marketing and business. When not immersed in all things marketing, Kathie can be found riding the roller coaster of being a Cleveland sports enthusiast, playing wildly inconsistent golf and attempting to take her photography skills to the next level.

2026 GTM Reality Check: Make Misalignment Your Competitive Advantage

Breaking the Silence: A Call to Support Domestic Violence Survivors

As we approach the holidays, I'm reminded that not everyone experiences this season with joy and safety. 

The statistics are staggering: 1 in 3 women AND 1 in 4 men experience physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime.

This isn't just a women's issue—it's a human issue that affects our colleagues, neighbors, friends, and family members, often in silence.

I'm proud that Cloud Girls, our women's executive tech group, is supporting the Sojourner Center in Arizona this season. Sojourner provides critical crisis intervention, emergency shelter, and supportive services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse and human trafficking.

How you can help:

🤝 Donate: Every contribution makes a difference. Visit https://lnkd.in/euvupEWj to support their life-saving work.

💰 Double Your Impact: If your company offers donation matching, please leverage it! Many tech companies will match charitable contributions, allowing you to double your support for survivors in crisis.

📢 Share: Help break the stigma by sharing information about available resources.

🆘 If you or someone you know needs immediate help: Sojourner's 24-hour crisis helpline is (602) 244-0089

Domestic violence thrives in silence. By raising awareness and supporting organizations like Sojourner Center, we can help ensure that everyone has access to safety, support, and hope.

Thank you for being part of the solution.

Most 2026 GTM Plans Are DOA. Here's Why.

After building GTM systems at Fortune 100 companies and advising technical CEOs in the mid-market+, I'm seeing the same pattern: brilliant product leaders treating AI transformation like a software release instead of an organizational redesign.

McKinsey (50+ AI implementations) and Accenture (1,500 executives surveyed) just confirmed what technical CEOs are learning the hard way:

AI transformation isn't failing because of technology. It's failing because of mindset.

The mistake: Treating AI agents like software you deploy.
The reality: AI agents are team members you onboard, train, and develop.

McKinsey's exact words: "Onboarding agents is more like hiring a new employee versus deploying software."

What this means for your 2026 plan:

❌ Stop asking: "What AI features should we build?" 
✅ Start asking: "How should our workflows actually work?"

❌ Stop thinking: "We need AI tools" 
✅ Start thinking: "We need to redesign how revenue gets generated"

❌ Stop planning: "AI pilot projects" 
✅ Start planning: "Workforce redesign with AI team members"

The numbers that matter:

Accenture's study of 1,500 companies found those who "architect for intent" rather than bolt-on AI tools achieve 60% higher revenue growth with 40% higher margins.

McKinsey found top performers are 2X more likely to integrate cognitive elements like predictive analytics to make automation actually intelligent.

Bottom line:

Your competitors are planning 2026 right now. Some are adding AI features to their roadmap. Others are fundamentally reimagining how their GTM engines operate.

Only one of those strategies survives contact with an AI-native competitor.

Which plan are you building?
