Director of Marketing

Hi! 👋   My name is Gianna and I love bees, cybersecurity, and building things. I'm CEO & Co-Founder of the Cybersecurity Marketing Society and a marketing consultant and advisor to cybersecurity companies and tech startups. 

Recent Marketing Advisor at Votiro, a few other companies, and working on 2 of my own awesome companies: the Cybersecurity Marketing Society, a community for cybersecurity marketers to network, grow, and learn from each other! And LeaseHoney - a marketplace for beekeepers, landowners, and farmers!

My passions include: startups, cybersecurity, real estate, art, agtech, digital and online culture, and more!

Please include a message in your connection request but do feel free to reach out to me - I love to make connections with ambitious, passionate, and inspiring people!

I was very nervous speaking in front of a room of cyber founders & entrepreneurs this Saturday at BSidesNYC! 🥺 

I'm really comfortable speaking to founders & entrepreneurs in the cyber space...in the cyber space (aka online). But I don't usually do it in-person. So I was a bit nervous. 

But it went really well! Lots of people emailed me or came up afterwards to say they enjoyed the session & found it useful and relevant and - helpful! 

This is really all I can ever ask for - that what I produce is helpful. 😊 

The Cybersecurity Marketing Society and the CyberCEO Society exist to help. 

We want to help marketers succeed and have amazing, successful careers.

We want to help founders at all stages of companies understand how marketing works. 

We want to help cyber companies to grow, and in order to do so, they must have excellent GTM & marketing. 

The business side of cybersecurity is how we, as marketers, are part of keeping the world a safer place.

Every marketer in cyber is mission-driven. Every marketer in cyber cares DEEPLY about cybersecurity and security practitioners (they won't be successful if they don't!!!).

Their mission is to launch products and services into the market to help the defenders defend.

Our mission is to help them, and help all cyber companies. 

Let us know how we can help you!

PS: we have some upcoming cyber meetups! 

🏛️ Join us in Arlington VA 
🤠 or Austin TX this week - DM me for the reg link - thanks to Energize Marketing for sponsoring & feeding & watering us!
🍑 And in Atlanta on Oct 30th!

Thank you to BSidesNYC for the opportunity to speak! I am honored to have been able to share the space with amazing fellow speakers & attendees at the show. 

(I did say **uhhhh** too many times 😅 working on that)

For anyone attending #CyberMarketingCon on Sunday Dec 7, that is our WORKSHOP day. 

Hands-on workshops on:

🤖 Building A.I. agents with n8n (bring your n8n account to this 3 hour workshop where you LEAVE with an A.I. agent) by the brilliant Dr. Anushika Babu Vadlamudi

🎨 Turning Canva templates into brand-aligned and approved designs that you're proud to use at your enterprise cybersecurity company (thanks Ian Barin!)

💻 and...yes HACKING. 😳 

That is right. We are having Josh Mason 🍄, founder of Noob Village (yes, the DEF CON Noob Village!!!) come in and help marketers complete their first reverse shell.

🙇‍♀️ 🙇‍♂️ You can be in the driver's seat in this very interactive and hands-on workshop & CTF (environment provided by MetaCTF), specifically geared for marketers with little to no technical expertise! 

The benefits are amazing. You will be able to understand what it is like to be on the other side of the screen as someone hacking or pen-testing a company.

Plus, anyone who participates in the workshop - it doesn't mean you have to win or succeed at the CTF - gets this LIMITED EDITION Marketers Hack sticker pack! 😊

I am getting meme coin presale ads in the LinkedIn timeline.

We’ve done it everyone! We’ve won!!!

That’s it!!! Time to go home folks.
