Joe Cardillo's Linkedin Analytics

Fighting disinformation, coaching leaders, and reinforcing journalism/local news — previously: marketer, journalist, and operator in startups/tech. The slightly longer story: I started in customer support handling emails, calls, and live chats. That turned into a career in marketing and communications, along with a few extra assignments building support and operations teams within startups. In addition to startups, I worked in the corporate sector, higher education marketing, and a short but fascinating tour as a business journalist along with a bit of freelance reporting and some due diligence for PE firms (I have special set of skills, as they say). I've excelled as an individual contributor and marketing leader scaling high-performing teams, which got me into training and coaching. People I work with regularly describe me as someone dedicated to moving quickly, collaborating, and practicing inclusivity. I believe that a good "internal OS" isn't just nice to have; it is a powerful lever for growth and scale that reveals tradeoffs and keeps the organization and people mindful of what matters. You’ll also hear me talk a lot about how power and decision-making operate, and the importance of investing in people early and often. By listening, learning, and returning consistently to each person's needs and values, I make sure they person feel seen and heard, and can grow their careers while also being true to their core. Additional projects include reinforcing creatives & creative business owners as a co-founder of Coffee + Creatives and serving as a community lead for the Albert's List Careers & Professional Development community plus co-lead for job search boot camps that we run 2x/year. I'm also an advisor for Black Remote She and Fundada.
