Hi, I'm Robin Daniels, The James Bond of B2B, at least according to one legenday VC 😆

I'm an experienced executive focused on growth, marketing, GTM, product innovation, and leadership development to deliver epic results through ground-breaking, fun, and highly differentiated activities, while empowering people and teams to do the best work of their lives. 

I'm Chief Business Officer for Zensai (zensai.com) - where I run Product, Marketing, Partnerships, and GTM.

Throughout my career I've held executive leadership roles in high growth companies of all sizes, including Matterport (IPO) WeWork (near IPO), Salesforce, LinkedIn, Box (IPO), Veritas, and Vera (acquired).

My areas of expertise include growth strategy, product innovation, marketing, product marketing communications and media, GTM strategies, org design, leadership development, innovation management, mergers & acquisitions, top-level leadership, category-creation, brand building, public speaking, and sales transformation.

Here's more about my life story and journey during the last two decades: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/roadmap-life-love-happiness-robin-daniels/

I spent over 20 years in the US and UK, but I'm from Copenhagen, Denmark and an avid runner and movie nerd.

VP Marketing, Global Brand and Content @ Sinch 🚀 I B2b tech marketing leader, brand builder

Why do you need a strong brand? 
Because it is the only true differentiator that can’t be copied. And yes that’s also true for b2b companies. 

Think about it: products and features are all becoming the same. Sure you can be a little cheaper or a little better. But why not use your brand to win instead? Your brand is your future-proof competitive edge. 
A strong brand means recognition, credibility, trust, loyalty. 

And that’s why I’ve dedicated my career to building strong brands. BRAVE brands. Brands that connect with people. Brands that dare to be different. Brands with strong beliefs. Brand that build new categories and become their kings. 

I personally believe in the power of communication and creativity. I believe in doing things with passion and taking risks. I spent 10 years in the best Ad agencies in London and Paris, working on the world's leading consumer brands. In my late 20s, I traveled the world for one year. In my 30s, I opened an art gallery in San Francisco before going back to marketing and branding for B2B tech companies in Silicon Valley. In 2017 I moved to Sweden to open the European office of a b2b tech creative agency. 
In 2023 I came back to the US to continue to lead the brand growth of one of the fastest growing tech company in the world, Sinch. 

I’m now VP of Brand at Sinch, where I lead global brand strategy, though-leadership, communications, global events and creative direction for one of the fastest growing tech companies in the world. 

Bottom line: when I want to do something, I make it happen. 
I apply this ‘can-do-attitude’ to everything I do. 

I am always looking for new challenges, opportunities, and learnings, and I love networking and sharing knowledge with other professionals in my field.
Feel free to get in touch.

2026 energy. ⚡️
Happy new year my friends 💫

2025 ended up as a transition year for me, but also for most marketers 👉 The year AI fully became part of everyone’s daily work.

Here’s what I’m taking into 2026, and what I’m leaving behind.

What I’m taking into 2026

1) Reputation is growth.
In an AI world, trust is not a “brand thing.” It’s the shortlist.

2) There is no AI discoverability hack.
It’s good, hard marketing work. Onsite + offsite. Clear positioning, consistent language, proof, and distribution in places people actually trust.

3) Engine first, fuel second.
No more content for content’s sake. If the engine isn’t defined and funded, we pause.

4) Fewer bets, bigger scale.
Tiny experiments are noise. If we test, we test properly. If we commit, we commit.

5) AI for speed. Humans for taste.
AI accelerates output. Humans still bring judgment, creativity, and meaning.

What I’m leaving in 2025

- Shipping one more asset instead of fixing distribution
- Confusing motion with momentum
- Trying to measure everything while avoiding the real question: “Are we becoming more known and trusted?”
- Random acts of marketing (again and always)
- Panic pivots based on hot takes

2026: clarity, intention over noise. 
Real bets. Real engines.

What about you? 
What’s one thing you’re taking into 2026, and one thing you’re leaving behind?

We can do this!! 💪💫
