Founder, P33 | Executive Thought Leadership Agency

Helped 50+ B2B tech companies build their Founder/CEO Brand and implement Executive Thought Leadership Programs for LinkedIn. Customers, results & process: project33.io

About me:

I'm Finn, 29, grew up in Bremen, Germany, studied Physics & Philosophy in Heidelberg for 3 semesters, dropped out of college in 2017 because I was doing it for other people, flew to New York with no plans, documented the journey on Linkedin, Instagram and Youtube, and started my first company (Project 33) on the back of having grown a small audience. We're a small remote agency that helps B2B founders & execs create thought leadership content for Linkedin.

In my free time, which I try to have as much as possible of, I read (fav author: Nassim N. Taleb), write, run, lift, code (currently building an app), cook, make Youtube videos, turn books into Instagram accounts, grapple (BJJ), and travel (lived in NYC, Cape Town, Bali, Minsk, CMDX, Lima & Antalya so far). In December 2020 I married the most beautiful woman in the world. In January 2023, I became dad to the most beautiful baby girl. We currently live in Berlin, Germany.

Director of Demand Generation @ ActiveCampaign | B2B SaaS | British Dad in the USA

I'm an experienced B2B demand generation leader with a passion for driving revenue growth through innovative marketing strategies.

I have a proven track record of managing the transition from low quality lead generation to true demand creation, having led 12+ SaaS companies on this journey so far. I truly believe that marketing should be judged on delivering revenue and qualified pipeline, rather than delivering buckets of leads that don't turn into won business.

Some highlights of campaigns I've implemented:

Decreased cost-per-opportunity by over 50% over 6 months
Increased marketing-sourced pipeline by 37%
Drove a 25% reduction in average sales cycle length coupled with an 18% increase in ACV

In my current role at Refine Labs, I lead demand gen strategy for multiple clients, allowing me to experiment and learn at scale. I've executed dozens of successful campaigns across multiple ad platforms to drive marketing-sourced revenue, working with wildly different products, audiences, and budgets.

Outside of work, I'm a British dad enjoying life in beautiful Chicago with my wife, daughter, and dog.
