Stealth Startup

Currently leading a dual mandate:
— Driving enterprise-wide marketing strategy across brand, growth, and GTM
— Building a stealth startup inside the walls of the company—designed to rethink how humans access the benefits they’ve earned

One foot in scale. One foot in the future.

On the enterprise side, I lead a marketing org focused on creating clarity in the market, consistency in the funnel, and credibility across every touchpoint. We’re aligning story, systems, and strategy to drive real growth—and real trust.

On the stealth side, I’m effectively a startup CEO:
— Designing new subscription marketplace experiences from scratch
— Architecting the full-stack GTM engine (product, performance, brand, lifecycle)
— Testing, iterating, and building at speed—while staying grounded in service

This work lives at the intersection of brand + behavior, subscription thinking + systems design, modern marketing + human outcomes.

It’s not just about moving fast.
It’s about moving meaningfully.

#opentohelp

Asking for help is hard. Let’s make it easier to offer it. More people helping more people—with no strings attached—makes work and life better.

Each week, I keep six free 1:1 spots open for people who are building, leading, navigating, or reimagining.

Not because I have all the answers.
But because it helps to talk things out with someone who’s in it too.

Who’s it for?
✅ You’re building something and want outside perspective
✅ You’re a peer looking to swap ideas, clarity, or feedback
✅ You’re designing a team, a brand, or a next chapter
✅ You’re doing fine—but want to talk to someone who gets it
✅ You’re in a career shift or leadership stretch

What can we talk about?
— Clarifying a story, plan, or moment
— Getting unstuck on a decision or direction
— Thinking through brand, team, or strategic chaos
— Leading through change
— Life + work + ambition—and holding it all together
— Anything, really!

What it’s not:
❌ A pitch
❌ A funnel
❌ Unlimited free consulting
❌ A therapy session
❌ A promise of brilliance

Why do this?
Because I believe deeply in:
— The nobility of service
— Peers showing up for each other
— Generosity at scale
— Making help the default, not the exception
— Raindrops make oceans

Who am I?

I’m Pete.

Started in live entertainment (Snoop, Dylan, Ringo).
Then Fortune 50s.
Now leading marketing in high-growth tech.
And in the middle of all that? Trying to build something more human.

What now?
— If this resonates, like or share it
— Know someone who needs this? Tag them
— Want to talk? Book time here: https://calendly.com/petejam/opentohelp 
— Already helping others? Raise your hand: #opentohelp

No pressure. No pitch. Just real time, for real people.

I’m #opentohelp. Who's with me?

Chief Evangelist

Swear.com

Advising on category creation, brand narrative, and go-to-market strategy for a company redefining digital trust.

The future of content credibility isn’t about watermarking or chasing deepfakes—it’s about giving real content the ability to prove itself.

That’s the world SWEAR is building.

As a strategic advisor to SWEAR’s executive team, I help shape how that vision comes to life—through clear messaging, differentiated positioning, and trust-first go-to-market strategy.

We’re building more than a company. We’re creating a new standard for authenticity in digital content.

My focus areas:

✅ Category Design
Positioning SWEAR as the standard for content verification—not detection—by naming the stakes and reframing the problem.

✅ Narrative & Messaging Architecture
Distilling a highly technical product into a clear, urgent, and accessible story that resonates across legal, government, media, and security sectors.

✅ Brand Strategy
Helping the team balance urgency with credibility—earning trust in a space where the cost of getting it wrong is extraordinarily high.

✅ Go-to-Market & Strategic Positioning
Advising on early market traction, ideal customer profiles, and launch sequencing across regulated and reputation-sensitive industries.

SWEAR protects the most important content in the world—from body cam footage to breaking news—by proving, at the moment of capture, that what’s real stays real.

Pixel by pixel. Frame by frame.
No alteration. No chain of custody questions. No “allegedly.”

When content can prove itself, everything changes.

Capture. Anchor. Verify.
That’s the future. And SWEAR is building it.

Chief Marketing Officer

#opentohelp | Chief Growth Officer | Board Member | CMO | SVP Marketing | Founder | Brand, Demand, & Revenue Executive | People Leader | Fractional | SaaS | Community | Content | Data, BI, AI, GenAI, Web3 | Storyteller

Hi, I’m Pete. I’m a marketing leader, community builder, connector, and #opentohelper. I’m on a mission to help more people help more people. 

I lead marketing across a portfolio of companies focused on connecting more people with more benefits. That includes both B2B and B2C efforts—building brands, scaling growth, and making complex systems feel a little more human.

And every week, I host six free 30-minute #opentohelp 1:1s for anyone who needs help getting unstuck—because some of the most powerful conversations don’t happen on a stage or in a boardroom.

My career has unfolded in three acts:

Act I: Live Entertainment - 
I started by crafting unforgettable experiences with artists like Snoop Dogg, Bob Dylan, James Taylor, and more. I learned how to hold an audience. How to create moments people remember. And how to make complexity look effortless under pressure.

Act II: Global Marketing Consulting - 
Next came the Fortune 50s—GE, HP, 3M—helping household names measure and manage profitable growth. I learned how to navigate matrixed orgs, bring strategy to life, and move big ideas.

Act III: High-Growth Tech -
When I was recruited into tech, I went all in on scale—orchestrating marketing for VC- and PE-backed tech companies from early-stage to $350M+ ARR. 

Each act sharpened a different lens—
Creative. Strategic. Operational.
Together, they shaped how I think, create, and lead today.

The CMOs of the future aren’t just marketers. We’re builders of systems and stories. Translators between data and meaning. Able to hold the brand, the pipeline, the P&L—and the room.

Your pal 💛,
Pete

2026 is going to be another BIG A## YEAR.
So BIG I need a Big A## Calendar.

This box landed at my door this week and it feels like the perfect final note to this year. (And h/t to Jesse Itzler and his team for an exceptional product and experience!)

2025 showed up with more joy, more service, more connection, and more bright spots than I ever could’ve planned:
  ↳ new rooms
  ↳ new friends
  ↳ deeper conversations
  ↳ people helping each other in ways that actually matter
  ↳ moments that stayed with me long after they happened

Somewhere in the middle of ALL that, #opentohelp stopped being something I scheduled… and started being something people FELT.

That’s the part I want to grow.

So the Big A## calendar?
It’s not about filling every square.

It’s about making room for: 
  ↳ good humans
  ↳ meaningful conversations
  ↳ momentum that makes life feel bigger and brighter
  ↳ helping more people help more people

Here’s what clicked for me as I hung it up: I want to spend more of 2026 in more rooms that care about service, connection, leadership, generosity, and joy.
  ↳ real rooms
  ↳ rooms with heart
  ↳ rooms where people still believe in helping each other

And yes, I still have a full-time marketing leadership role with a mission I love... work that is growing and evolving in all the best ways.

And alongside it, I’m building the #opentohelp movement into something that can reach far more people than I can one-on-one.

To do that, I need to get in front of the communities that are already leaning into this kind of work.

Here's where I'm #opentobehelped (😄): if you’re connected to events, podcasts, retreats, conferences, summits, meetups, leadership gatherings, or company offsites where this message belongs… I’d LOVE to know.

 ↳ if you think I should be in the room, point me in the right direction
 ↳ if you know someone who can open a door, introduce us
 ↳ if there’s a stage that needs a voice on joy, service, and human connection, I’m ready to show up

2025 was INCREDIBLE.

2026 has the space to be even better:  not just for me, but for anyone who believes the world gets brighter when we do.

If a place, a room, or a person comes to mind…
I’ll gladly make space for it on this Big A## Calendar....

Your pal, 
Pete 💛


And PS - you already know--if you ever need a hand, I'm still (and always) #opentohelp if I can!

CMO | #opentohelp | Chief Evangelist for Human Brands | Brightmaker | On a Mission to Help More People Help More People

The Big A## Calendar arrived at my door this week...! 

Here’s a deal for those of you who can’t shop for deals right now… 

I took Thanksgiving week off from work and from #opentohelp so I could be with my family. To recharge and reset. 

And somewhere in there I found myself thinking about all of you who don’t get to enjoy a break at all…

► those of you barely holding things together with coffee and crossed fingers
► those of you refreshing job boards and sending resumes
► those of you juggling bills in your notes app
► those of you who are trying to be present around the table while a whole stack of worries sit on your shoulders
► those of you who want to rest and never quite get there

I’ve been thinking about how heavy this stretch of the year can feel if your life is in a place you didn’t expect or plan...

While everyone else seems to be talking about leftovers or finding the best deals on the Ninja Slushi 5-in-1…

Meanwhile you are whispering real fears into the moments between everything else.

► you’re doing your best
► you’re caring for people who need you
► you’re trying to make ends meet while everything feels so overwhelming

If that’s where you are, I want you to know I see you… 
► not in a “thoughts and prayers” way
► in a real way
► in a way that says your struggle isn’t invisible
► you matter
► your effort matters
► your future matters

I’ll be back next week and here’s my offer:

My #opentohelp calendar is open and I have a few slots left. 

For any of you who need a place to talk through the hard stuff.
The practical stuff.
The “I don’t even know where to begin” stuff.

► always free
► always human
► always meant for those of you who are trying to find your next foothold

If you need help getting unstuck or finding your way to the next role or even just remembering that you still have options
send me a note or book a slot…

I saved room for you at the table, friends. 

Your pal,
Pete 💛


Always #opentohelp.

No alternative text description for this image

I’m proud of you.

I know you’re feeling deflated.
Out in the cold.
Forgotten.
Still.

I know this season feels longer and colder than it should.
The kind where every brutal gust of wind is a reminder of what used to be.

And still, you show up.
You let the sun find your face.
You wait for warmth to return.

I saw this basketball walking my dear kids to school this morning.
It looked tired. Abandoned, even.
And for some reason, I thought about all of you who are waiting to be picked up again.

The ones who have given so much of yourselves to teams that no longer exist.
The ones whose bounce is gone for now.

I want you to know that the stillness isn’t wasted.
The air will come back.
You’ll feel full again.
You’ll rise.

Until then, just stay right where you are.
The sun’s on its way.
And so are we.

You've got this, LinkedIn friends. 

Your pal, 
Pete 💛

💛 #opentohelp

Being a parent is simultaniously the most difficult and the most rewarding role I’ve ever had (or ever will)….



AND…when I come into my office to find little treasures like this on my to-do list? It makes it all worth it 💯!

I mean, seriously kid. 🥹🫠

Happy Friday, LinkedIn friends! 

Your pal,
Pete 💛


PS - you already know, I’m always #opentohelp if you need it! 😃

Every night before bed, my daughter asks for her "nightmare shield."

I wave my hands over her like a wizard.
Whistle/hum something halfway between a lullaby and a dialup signal.
"Apply" her invisible "nightmare shield."
And she laughs herself to sleep.

It started accidentally one night after a nightmare. 
And now it’s a nightly bedtime ritual.
A quiet promise that she’s safe.

And now every Veterans Day, I think about the people who’ve made that promise possible.

The ones who have put themselves between danger and home.
Who have carried fear so our kids don’t have to.
Who have faced very real nightmares so ours can stay imaginary.

Their courage doesn’t always look cinematic.
Sometimes it looks like peace.
Like my daughter under her "nightmare shield."

To every Veteran: THANK YOU. Truly.
For shielding the rest of us in ways we’ll never see or understand.

Happy Veterans Day, LinkedIn friends! 🇺🇸

Your pal, 
Pete 💛


#opentohelp

Applying the nightmare shield every night! #opentohelp

Helping others isn’t as easy as it used to be.
And it's more important than ever.

If it feels harder to reach people lately, you’re not imagining it.

The algorithms are moody.
The headlines are heavy.
And the world feels like it’s running WAY low on kindness.

Still, here we are... trying.

The brightness makers. 
The #opentohelpers. 
The humans who keep showing up.

Posting something hopeful. 
Sending a note. 
Holding space.

Even when the air feels thick with noise.
Even when no one seems to notice.
Or care.

It's the kind of quiet courage that keeps us humans stitched together.

If you’ve got a little light left in you today—use it!
↳ Send that "I'm proud of you. You've got this! 💪🏼" text
↳ Write that recommendation
↳ Share that post from a job seeker
↳ Say yes to that coffee chat
↳ Make that intro
↳ Send that note you’ve been meaning to send

And if you don’t? Totally ok, too!  
↳ Unplug and recharge
↳ Eat something yellow 
↳ Watch that dog (or cat, I guess...) video
↳ Jump in that pile of leaves
↳ Find joy in the unexpected

The world needs your brightness back on Monday.

You've got this, LinkedIn friends! 

Your pal, 
Pete 💛 

PS - You already know, I'm always #opentohelp if you need me 😃

LinkedIn gurus want you to believe your reach is down because of thirteen secret rules, a lunar eclipse, or something you posted in early 2018.

Or that your content just isn’t good anymore and your should buy their course. 

Most of us know the truth is a lot simpler.
Sometimes our content hits.
Sometimes it doesn’t.
And sometimes the algorithm rolls out of bed and chooses chaos.

Case in point: this ad that showed up in my feed this morning….

I’ve read it.
I’ve re-read it.
And read it again. 
And again. 

I’ve squinted at it for the last ten minutes like it’s one if those Magic Eye posters.
And genuinely, still no idea what it is or who it’s for….

(Or why I’m anywhere close to their ICP!) 

Only vibes.
Very mysterious Monday med-blob vibes.

🤷🏻‍♂️😂

If you’re confused by your feed today, just know you’re not alone….

May your Thanksgiving week be full of family, friends, clarity, bright spots and decent targeting! 

Your pal,
Pete 💛


PS — your know I’m still (and always) #opentohelp if you need it!
