Kathleen Booth

As a CMO, founder, and brand evangelist, I’ve built my career at the intersection of storytelling, community, and go-to-market strategy—driving growth for B2B tech companies in cybersecurity, e-commerce, adtech, and SaaS. Whether leading marketing, sales, or customer success, I bring a whole-business mindset and a modern, AI-informed approach to growth that’s as human as it is data-driven.

Today, I lead marketing at Sequel.io, the webinar solution for data-driven marketers. Sequel lets marketers host webinars and virtual experiences directly on their own domain, giving them full control of their brand and customer experience — and complete ownership of their data. That’s more than a technical detail. It’s a paradigm shift. Because when marketers own their event data — every question answered, poll response submitted, moment of engagement captured — they can orchestrate richer, more contextual journeys. That means stronger pipelines, shorter sales cycles, and better retention. In other words, better unit economics.

I’m known for building high-performing teams, fostering thriving communities (like Pavilion’s 10,000+ GTM leaders and IMPACT’s 5,000+ marketers), and launching content engines that turn brands into media powerhouses. My leadership style? Radical candor, relentless curiosity, and servant leadership—paired with a healthy dose of competitive fire. I don't just want to win; I want my team to win with me.

Recognition includes LinkedIn's inaugural Marketing Influencer cohort, USA Today's "6 Global Marketing Advisors Who Are Rising Stars," and GTM Partners' "Go-to-Market Guru" award. I've hosted top-performing podcasts, led multiple rebrands, and scaled companies to acquisition or high-growth exits—all while working remotely since 2015 and building fun, productive remote cultures.

Let’s connect if you believe great marketing is part art, part science—and always rooted in community.
