⚡The next evolution of Gated is here! ⚡

I'm entrepreneur and full-stack marketing executive with a passion for user-first products and a talent for creating clarity from chaos. I believe deeply in finding your focus and taking big swings. And I believe a go-to-market strategy built on human relationships is the best way to do that. 

- I am currently working full time as Cofounder and CMO on Wednesday Women: a movement to amplify extraordinary women leaders for *everyone* to be inspired by. And (newly-launched) a highly-curated network for the amazing women themselves.   
- I also work with a select portfolio of businesses that appreciate my superpower of growth-stage marketing strategy, leadership, and execution.   
- Most recently, I was CEO at Matcha - an growth-stage startup for communities and professionals invested in building connection through tech solutions.  
-Previously, I ran SaaS startup Gated as CMO & Founder, building a foundation on brand narrative and executing rapidly on multi-channel GTM strategy. 
- I've always been a passionate advocate for fast, frictionless user experiences on the web. Over 14 years at Google, I worked with Fortune 500 Travel companies to build effective cross-channel marketing strategy and create amazing user experiences.  
- I'm a major advocate of remote work and the benefits it brings for mental health, families, and the earth. 
- I am addicted to product ideation and helping entrepreneurs find product-market fit. 

When I'm not working, you'll find me busy working on my most important, fun, and ongoing project - my family. I am an avid fan of the outdoors, reading, and travel.  Bonus conversation starters:  Taskmaster, The Killers, Modern Stoicism, Mitch Hedberg, and who your favorite F1 driver is.

🚀 Day 2. Let’s go.  We’re back with another round of women founders who are scaling with serious power—and blasting into growth-stage success.

As part of our 'Founders in Focus' series—brought to you thanks to Metropolitan Partners Group and Audience Haus—we’re spotlighting five more leaders building the future in real time.

Here’s why this matters—a LOT:
 ⚡ Women-founded companies still receive less than 2% of all venture capital funding.
 ⚡ That stat hasn’t moved much in years—but these women have.
 
They’ve scaled past it, through it, and beyond it. They’re not just hitting revenue targets—they’re creating culture, setting strategy, and making bold moves in industries that need their leadership.

We're pleased to introduce:
🔹 Emily Dong — Founder & CEO, Snout
 Emily launched Snout after facing her own stress with surprise vet bills. Her startup helps pet parents afford routine care—paying vets directly at the time of service. Her advice? Be radically honest with yourself. The dream matters—but so does what’s real.

🔹 Melissa Rosenthal — Co-founder, Outlever
 Melissa is reshaping how companies go to market—drawing on deep roots in digital media and B2B SaaS. Her founder mindset? There’s no single path—just constant forward motion. She’s building with focus, and scaling for $100M and beyond.

🔹 Feyi Ayodele — CEO & Founder, CancerIQ
 Feyi is transforming cancer care—bringing precision prevention to patients everywhere, not just in academic centers. Today, her platform powers 50+ health systems. Her belief? The tools to beat cancer exist—we just need to get them in the right hands.

🔹 Oana Manolache — Founder & CEO, Sequel.io
 At HP, Oana saw the disconnect—marketers sent users away at peak engagement. Sequel.io fixes that, keeping webinars on-site to boost conversions and insights. Her edge? A strong team, smart GTM, and grit to navigate volatile markets.

🔹 Maryna Hradovich — COO & Co-founder, Maestra.io
 Maryna’s mission is personalization at scale—without the chaos. At Maestra, she’s helping DTC brands unify their data and deepen customer engagement. Her advice? Build your support system. Family, community, and culture will carry you through.

💥 This is just the start - of December and this VIBE of supporting founder-leaders throughout the year.

We've got another day of #Founders to follow coming up tomorrow... stay tuned...
