Jonathan M K.

VP of GTM Strategy & Marketing - Momentum | Founder GTM AI Academy & Cofounder AI Business Network | Business impact ​> Learning Tools | Proud Dad of Twins

I’m Jonathan, an AI and GTM strategist passionate about transforming how businesses harness AI for real impact. With over 15 years in Revenue Excellence, Enablement, and GTM Acceleration, I’ve successfully developed and implemented transformative enablement programs for global organizations, Fortune 500 companies, and startups. Recognized in SEC’s 2023 & 2024 Enablement Ones to Watch and honored as an Enablement Legend by Seismic and the Enablement Squad, I strive to stay ahead of industry trends.

4 Years ago I deep dove into AI after enabling an AI tech for an internal team and it's customers and in 2022, I founded the GTM AI Academy to bridge the gap between learning AI tools and creating tangible business outcomes. My mission is to provide AI-driven strategies that cover all functions of a Go-To-Market (GTM) team, helping professionals implement actionable use cases for their own companies. I also consult on AI integration and strategy for high-growth businesses, offering GTM insights that drive revenue growth and efficiency.

If you’re looking to leverage AI either for Yourself, Your team, or C-Suite and Board level advising, refine your GTM strategies, or accelerate business outcomes, feel free to connect. I’m always open to discussing the future of AI in business and how to make true impact.

Every vendor promises autonomous AI for GTM. None of them can actually deliver it…. Yet. 

Here’s why and what you need to build instead.

The gap between AI hype and reality isn’t about model capability. It’s about architecture.

We go deep in this concept in the IGNITE book released just barely.

Most companies are trying to buy autonomous GTM from a single platform. 

That’s like expecting one tool to handle your entire tech stack. It won’t happen.

What actually works is a 5-layer architecture where each layer does what it’s built for:

Layer 1: Data Foundation
Your CDP, CRM, data lakehouse, and identity resolution create the ground truth. Without clean, unified data, everything built on top collapses. This is where 70% of AI projects fail, not because the AI is bad, but because the data is garbage.

Layer 2: Integration Layer
MCP (Model Context Protocol), APIs, and connectors let your systems talk to each other without building custom integrations for every combination. This is the “USB-C for AI” one protocol that connects everything.

Layer 3: Agent Layer
This is where specialized AI agents live. The Analyst pulls insights. The Strategist recommends next moves. The Content Agent generates variations. The Optimizer runs experiments. Each agent is narrow and verifiable, not trying to do everything.

Layer 4: Execution Layer
Ads, email, web personalization, campaign launches. This is where AI decisions turn into real actions. Current systems handle this autonomously for narrow tasks (bid optimization, send-time) but still need human approval for creative and strategy.

Layer 5: Human Oversight
Governance, strategy, brand stewardship, guardrails. Humans don’t disappear, they move up the stack. You own the creative direction, relationship decisions, and high-stakes judgment calls that AI can’t verify.

The reality check:
Gartner predicts 60% of brands will use agentic AI by 2028. They also predict 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by 2027.

The difference? 

Companies that win aren’t deploying the most AI. They’re architecting human-AI collaboration with clean data, proper governance, and realistic expectations about what AI can actually do autonomously today versus three years from now.

The people winning last year and this one are the ones planning for this future so when the tech is available they are ready. 

Are you?

This 2026 LinkedIn Bible is the roadmap to 1M+ followers. My man Chris Donnelly is letting me share, want in?

You can either view LinkedIn like a content creation chore, 
Or, like so many successful founders, as part of your business strategy. 

I decided to go all in on LinkedIn 2 years ago, 
And the results have been unbelievable. 

Literally 1000s of warm leads and an entire 8-fig business since then.

All because I built systems that turned LinkedIn into a primary revenue driver.

And now, I'm giving you my complete framework.

This is everything you need to transform LinkedIn into a lead gen machine.

Inside, you'll learn:

✅ The 4 highest-performing post types for lead generation

Hey friends in #enablement... here is a fun one ;)

Giving away more goodies on the GTM AI Podcast, want it? Comment below.

Most GTM teams are drowning in research and prep work. The top 5%? They automated all of it and closed 3x more deals.

I just sat down with Dannielle Sakher (VP of GTM at MindStudio) who walked me through the exact AI agents she uses to close enterprise level partnerships.

Not theory. Not "use cases." Actual workflows running behind the scenes at one of the fastest-moving AI platforms right now.

What she showed me:
→ LinkedIn outreach that's personalized at scale (200+ quality requests per week vs. the typical 50) 
→ Pitch optimization that pulls live prospect research in real-time 
→ Meeting prep that collapses 3 hours of work into 2 minutes 
→ Contract review that flags every high-risk term without legal bottlenecks 
→ Launch teasers that make partnerships feel real before they exist

Here's what hit me hardest: Dannielle is automating the high-value stuff that made her successful in the first place.

The secret sauce activities most people stop doing when they get promoted because there's "no time." AND she puts in her own flavor and genius to take it to the next level.

Personalized research. Deep prep. Creative pitch assets. She built agents to do them at scale.

The result? More pipeline. Higher close rates. Zero sacrifice on quality.

So I partnered with HSE and we created THE 2026 Trends report, want it?

As of today, AI methodology revolves around defining the stages of its market entry, changes in value propositions, and the construction of a completely new architecture.

In 2026, AI capabilities are set to advance faster than the methodologies designed to govern them, creating a widening gap between technological potential and effective use.

I’m excited to share my perspective and partner with Julia Nimchinski and Hard Skill Exchange with Momentum.io on the report, “2026: In Pursuit of AI Methodology”, focused on the trends and predictions shaping AI-native GTM.

The report brings together 80+ contributors – CXOs, VCs, founders, and analysts – examining how AI is moving from experimentation to operating models.

The analysis reflects what is actually working as AI transitions from isolated pilots to embedded GTM systems.

Fourteen trends emerged:
-AI becomes a managed role (3.41%)
--Narrative + intent as the control plane (3.41%)
---Enablement as the agentic operating layer (7.95%)
----Systems of action replace systems of record (5.68%)
-----Orchestration re-centralizes control (5.68%)
------Operating models shift to live loops (10.23%)
-------Personalization moves from rules to reasoning (3.41%)
------Incumbents split: embed AI vs. rebuild (11.36%)
-----Buyer-side AI + AEO as a core discipline (11.36%)
----Trust, proof, and human connection increase in value (7.95%)
---ROI discipline tightens (11.36%)
--Generalists outperform narrow specialists (5.68%)
-Governance and data readiness become scaling gates (9.11%)
AI enters through high-friction insertion points (3.41%)

Huge thank you to Julia Nimchinski for being an amazing partner last year and this one, this report is kick a!!

I stopped building workflows in Zapier and N8N.

Now I just describe what I want done. 🤯

This week on the GTM AI Podcast, my man Jonathan Moss aka JMo walked through a 5-Part AI Framework that's saving him 15+ hours a week.

Here's what he covers:

→ How to replace complex automation tools with simple prompts
→ The framework structure that gets consistent results
→ Real examples of workflows that used to take hours... now done in minutes
→ Why "knowing what's possible" is now the only skill that matters

And we're also giving you access to the NotebookLM guide that goes even deeper - it's a resource on how to actually use these tools for unique applications.

I'm genuinely proud of this one. It's practical, and you can start using it today.

1/16/26: The 5-Part AI Framework That Saves GTM Teams 15+ Hours Weekly

Nina LaRouche

🚀 I began as a physics teacher, learning how to make complex ideas simple - a passion that carried me into sales and, ultimately, enablement.

📊 Most recently, I built and led the global enablement function at Bazaarvoice where we supported 300+ revenue team members. With my incredible team, we designed and launched impactful programs cutting AE ramp time in half, boosting win rates, and aligning GTM teams on outcomes. I bring a strategic, data-driven approach through my 5D Enablement Framework to ensure that every initiative is tied to business results.

🛠️ I bring a builder’s mindset, blending structure, creativity, and generative AI to deliver learner-centric programs that drive measurable results.

📖 Outside of work, I enjoy reading, DIY projects and designing in Canva.

🔑 Core Strengths
☑️ Revenue Enablement Strategy | GTM & Role Alignment
☑️ Data-Driven Enablement | Measurable Business Outcomes
☑️ Learner-Centric Program Design | Virtual, Live, AI, and Hybrid
☑️ Process & Tech Optimization | Salesforce, Gong, AI Role Play, etc
☑️ Cross-Functional Collaboration | Stakeholder Influence
☑️ Sales Coaching & Leadership Development

Director, Revenue Enablement

In this role, I have the pleasure of supporting a team of enablement practitioners that design and deliver high value programs to enable our sales and client success teams. Through our onboarding and ongoing enablement programs, we help our teams achieve phenomenal results.

What a wonderful mid-week surprise!

Feeling genuinely grateful to be included on the 2026 Ones to Watch list from Momentum.io - and a big thank you to the team for spotlighting practitioners who are focused on doing the work, lifting others, and pushing GTM + AI forward in thoughtful ways.

What makes this especially meaningful is knowing the nominations came from peers in the space - people I learn from, admire, and build alongside every day.

Congrats to all the amazing women on today's list and the one shared yesterday. Honored to be in such good company. 🙏

The bar doesn’t lie.

When you go for a deadlift PR, there’s no faking it.

You either lift it or you don’t.

No one sees the reps before that moment…he countless workouts, the form checks and the days it felt impossible.

They just see you standing tall at the top.

Same goes for the job search.

No one sees the hours spent researching, networking and applying.
The roles you thought were “the one.”
The endless ghosting or the rejection emails that hit a little too hard.

But just like in the gym, you’re getting stronger even when the weight doesn’t move.

Every application is a rep.
Every interview is a test of form.
Every “no” is a chance to reset and reload.

Eventually, you hit your PR.
The right role

PS - this was me this morning hitting a PR of 3 reps at 195#

It’s #FollowFriday time!

Here’s my weekly shoutout to someone from my network who inspires me.

This week’s shoutout goes to Amy McClain - a powerhouse in GTM and enablement strategy.

She’s built global systems, led transformations at scale, and is helping the profession level up by sharing frameworks that connect people, process, and performance.

Go give her a follow 👇

PROGRESS > PERFECTION

I’m sore. Exhausted. I deadlifted 200# for 3 reps today. That's 2.5% more than I lifted last week and my body can still feel every ounce of it.

But I showed up. Not for perfection but for progress.

Discipline is doing hard things repeatedly - even when it's hard or doesn’t feel impressive.

That’s the same mindset I bring to enablement.
- The daily reps of aligning with GTM leaders.
- The mental weight of diagnosing what’s really blocking performance.
- The "muscle" it takes to deliver and drive behavior change.

Results don’t show up overnight. Not in the gym. Not in the revenue engine.

But if you build the right habits and keep putting in the reps, momentum becomes inevitable.

💥 What’s one “rep” you're committed to this week, even if it feels heavy?

#Enablement #DisciplineOverMotivation #RevenueEnablement

It’s #FollowFriday time!

This week’s shoutout goes to Dawn Gray - a powerhouse in sales and partner enablement 🤝

She brings years of sales experience, a collaborative spirit, and a passion for helping revenue teams thrive.

She’s also navigating the job market with grit and grace. Go give her a follow. 👇

My 2026 HACK for getting more movement!

As some of you know, I’ve been focused on getting more physical activity and building strength over the last 12+ months. One option is to use a walking pad during Zoom calls - this works great for meetings where I was a passive participant, but not fantastic during interviews.

As many of you may also experience (or maybe just those in my age category), my hips are really tight from sitting most of the day, so I'm trying to fix that to help with my overall lifting goals.

I recently heard that doing 10 air squats/hour can reap similar benefits as a 30-minute walk.

So I've started doing it. No gear. No sweat. Just 10 squats, once an hour (or a few times a day if that's all I can get). It literally takes seconds and it’s a small action that keeps me aligned to a bigger goal.

Remember, progress doesn’t have to look dramatic. Daily actions are what shape outcomes.

Whatever you’re working on (fitness, focus, mindset) - What’s one small, repeatable action you can commit to?

#DailyHabits #Goals

5 years ago, I sat down and wrote my personal leadership brand statement. It was an assignment for a leadership course I was taking at the time.

Not a resume. Not a vision board. But a grounded declaration of how I wanted to show up - for my team, my stakeholders, and myself.

And here’s the thing: it still holds true today.

This simple exercise helped me name what matters before things got messy or fast-paced. It’s been a compass through scale, change, and big leaps - from growing a global enablement org, to navigating acquisitions, to embracing AI in enablement strategy. And even now in my job search.

If you're building your leadership identity or leveling up into a new season, I'd encourage you to write your own.

✅ What do you want to be known for?
✅ How do you want to lead?
✅ What values drive your decisions (even when nobody’s watching)?

You don’t need to be perfect. But you do need to be intentional.

📌 I’m still guided by the statement I wrote in 2021.
 And I’m grateful for the growth that’s shaped it since.

Do you have your own personal brand statement?
