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.

If you want to ascend to executive leadership, here’s how I’d create a roadmap for my career 💪

Tell me your thoughts below 🙏

#careers #motivation #inspiration

You're a Communications Executive who wants to operate at your highest strategic level, always.
But, you're either managing constant triage cycles, OR you're regularly advising the business, but you crave deeper influence, stronger deference to your knowledge, and earlier involvement in decisions.

Either way, you know Comms. can make more significant impact when Communications is included earlier, consulted more often, and recognized as essential to the business.

You want ...

- to focus on strategic Comms. work that advances business goals. 
- more consultative relationships with executives and peers. 
- a team that are seen (and act) as business partners, not only writers/creators.

And support from someone who understands this complexity firsthand because she's led Communications in the Corporate world. She knows it's not simple.

But ... you care about this field, and you want space and support to lead in it.

That's where I can help.

I help Communications leaders strengthen their team's strategic reputations, elevate their function’s influence, and build the clarity, systems, and internal partnerships that shift Communications from supporting the business to co-authoring business decisions.

Our work focuses on:

• Strategic Communications Planning aligned w/ business priorities
• Team structure and resource audits that unlock budget and headcount 
• Workshops and team development that build advisor-level skills
• Ongoing Communications Advisor counsel to support strong leadership and decision-making

Comms. will strengthen credibility with executives, gain earlier access to important conversations, reduce unnecessary tactics, focus on meaningful impact, and advance the reputation and performance of the function.

Before I partnered with people like you,

I led Communications functions for national and global brands including Monster.com, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Ahold Delhaize. I understand what it takes to position Communications as the critical business partner it is. And I know it's not as easy as it sounds.

Send me a DM or visit www.taramcdonagh.com

Ask me about ....

1. Why my love language is “we need Comms to weigh in.".
2. Why my job is 50% strategy, 50% therapy, and 100% working with you convince people that their Friday at 5pm "critical" communication is neither a communication nor critical. 
3. Why saying ‘we’re not Communications waitresses’ is the most liberating phrase in our field. (and why I intentionally use the phrase waitress). 
4. Why hoodies are my love language 
4. Why Dunkin' is far superior to Starbucks.
