Marketing at Riverbed | Demandbase Top 20 Marketer for 2023 | Global Demand Leader

I'm a growth leader with a passion for building and developing winning go-to-market teams. I'm a marketer at heart, and I have extensive experience leading marketing for SaaS start-ups and medium-sized companies. I love helping develop other marketers to reach their full potential. 

I care deeply about the people I work with. My favorite part of the job is helping my team grow and navigate the chaos that often comes with high-growth tech.

Outside of work, you’ll find me enjoying time with my husband and 3 kids, skiing, visiting family in Spain (where I'm originally from!), or reading a good novel. 

Areas of expertise: GTM, demand generation, ABM, digital strategy, customer marketing, community building, marketing operations, marketing analytics.

Senior Director, Head of Americas Marketing

• Grew YoY marketing-sourced pipeline by 27% in 2022 and 95% in 2023 by implementing a
multi-channel campaign and field marketing strategy, including events, digital, content

• Integral member of marketing leadership team through the Riverbed-Aternity merger. Led

• Nominated for the 2022 MVP Award (top 3 team members across all non-sales teams,

Well, that's a wrap! This is my last week at Riverbed.

I never imagined that joining a little spin-off company in the middle of the pandemic would turn into a 5.5-year journey where I'd experience such incredible personal and professional growth. What a wild ride!

To my team - Yvonne, Courtney, Christopher, Payton, Nick, Sumi, Becks, Juskiran - THANK YOU. I'm so proud of what we did together. You gave me some of the best moments of my career and carried me through some of the toughest. I can't wait to see what you accomplish this year!

I'm on to a new adventure on Tuesday... stay tuned! 💫

B2B Attribution & Activation◾️ Dreamdata◾️ Sales director with a crush on marketing

🟠 - Marketing
⚪️ - Sales 

Organic Search and Direct are the least favourite sources for Inbounds. Both means "something is working" but we can't put the finger on it due to:
- No proper website tracking
- Deals not joined to Linkedin engagement
- Buyers just not clicking on the sponsored Google link you pay for.

As soon as you see an overview over a full customer journey, it gets so much easier to aggregate the data and understand which channels help educate the prospects and which of those are helping them to convert. 

This specific deal came through Organic - Straight to the pricing page! 
Seems like those LinkedIn targeted ads have worked out after all!

Please, you don’t need more intent signals. 
You need the right ones, the kind that actually lead to revenue.

That’s what we’ve been solving with Dreamdata Signals.

"Show me which Signals became Closed Won opps?"

Since launch, I’ve been watching how teams use it to sharpen their go-to-market. And the difference is wild.

Here’s how I’ve seen B2B teams use it best:
- Build precise audiences around signals and instantly sync them to ad platforms
- Create customized engagement scores to define what “intent” means for your business
- Trigger notifications to sales (on Slack/Teams) when an account shows intent 
Use AI to scan all your Go-To-Market data to uncover hidden intent signals that actually correlate with pipeline and revenue. 

Now you have a loop of success
