Kontakt.io, Inc.

While serving as the Head of Marketing for Kontakt.io's huge growth year of 2015, I was also asked to serve as interim head of product to help solve problems with the team's ability to ship new products; they'd launched the Cloud Beacon and the Tough Beacon in 2015 and had not had another key product launch since. Taking over in July 2015, I served as Head of Product alongside being Head of Marketing until, in December 2015, I concentrated solely on the Product role.

Key achievements:
* Increased key launch velocity over 600%, launching a key product every month in January - June 2016
* Built 1 and 2 year product roadmaps and achieved 80% win rate on hitting target release dates.
* Created cross-functional scrum teams that aligned the whole company (engineering, software, marketing, and sales) around product and gave the entire company complete knowledge of our roadmap.

Head of Product

I joined Kontakt.io in a newly-created role of Head of Marketing, and built up the marketing team there from scratch to a group of 7 high-achievers. While I was Head of Marketing, the marketing team was instrumental in: seeing the company through a landmark year of growth, securing a series B round of funding, and establishing a strong company brand and story.

Key achievements in 2015:
* Grew lead captures from 100 a month to over 1,000 a month through content marketing and SEO
* Launched 9 events in 7 cities in 6 months, driving 20% of the company's volume of units sold in 2015 for under $75,000 in event marketing budget.
* Oversaw growth of company sales volume to #1 in the market, an achievement that ABI Research noted and found a "surprising" achievement, with 500,000 units sold in 2015.

Head of Marketing & PR

GOG.com

I joined GOG.com when in the newly-created head of Marketing & PR role when it was a scrappy startup and I was the 16th employee. When I left, they had over 70 employees, were #1 in the classic gaming market segment with over 75% of the market, and had increased revenues over 1,000% from 2010 to 2014. 

Key achievements:
* Grew user base from 250,000 to over 4 million in 4 years; MAUs from 1,000 to over 10,000.
* Organized award-winning tradeshow at PAX; also organized profitable events at E3, Gamescom, GDC and others.
* Front page of Reddit 9 times; front page placement in key trade media at least once a quarter; organic site traffic from social and press sources increased 430% in 4 years. 
* Successfully repositioned brand from niche classic games distributor to leading independent games distributor with ~50% market share on indie games.
* Created high-achieving marketing & PR team of 11 from scratch & had 90%+ employee retention from 2010 - 2014.
