The Marketing

Shawndrea Corbin

Director of Growth

Shawndrea leads growth at New Relic during the company's transition from a legacy observability vendor to an AI-native monitoring platform. A rebrand that has to work in the market while the underlying product transformation is still in progress. She has built the growth motion around capturing the engineers who are evaluating the new category rather than just defending the existing install base, creating demand generation programs that reach the new buyer profile at their current watering holes rather than the events and channels where New Relic was already known. The approach is driving growth in a segment that the legacy motion wasn't reaching.

Liz Walton Egan

CMO

Liz leads marketing at Chainguard in one of the fastest-growing segments of enterprise security — software supply chain protection — at the moment that segment moved from technical curiosity to board-level priority following a series of high-profile incidents. She has built Chainguard's marketing to move at the speed of the security conversation, creating the category vocabulary and analyst positioning that has made Chainguard the default reference in software supply chain security evaluations. Her work has translated a technically complex differentiation story into a sales enablement asset that enterprise security buyers can present internally without a technical champion present.

Tim Rutten

CMO

Tim took over a dysfunctional marketing operation with a slashed budget, no campaigns and limited visibility on impact. He rebuilt it as an AI-native, full-funnel demand generation engine targeting 30,000 C-suite banking professionals across a global market with 50+ mini GTM initiatives. With 35 fewer FTEs, he drove nearly 10x pipeline growth year-over-year, took marketing's contribution to 15–20% of global corporate pipeline, and doubled conversion rates across the board, proving that doing more with less is possible when you rebuild the measurement and motion from scratch.

Elliott King

VP of Marketing

Elliott leads marketing at Turtl with an unusually meta brief: convincing content-sophisticated buyers that a content platform designed to eliminate PDFs is actually the category they should be building for. He has built Turtl's marketing around demonstrating the product's core argument, that personalized, trackable content converts better than static documents, by making every Turtl marketing asset itself a proof point of the thesis. The approach has built credibility with the enterprise marketing buyers who are most skeptical of vendor claims about content performance, turning the sales cycle into a product experience.

Cindy Zhou

CMO

Cindy leads marketing at Imprivata, the identity and access management platform protecting some of the most sensitive environments in healthcare and critical infrastructure. A market where the CMO's job is as much about building trust with risk officers as generating pipeline for sales teams. She has built a marketing function that speaks fluent CISO and compliance officer while also building the brand recognition that makes Imprivata the default consideration in healthcare security evaluations. Her work has positioned Imprivata's marketing organization as a strategic function rather than a support cost, with pipeline contribution and brand equity tracked on the same scorecard.

Domitille de Saint-Exupéry

CMO

When Domitille joined Lemlist as CMO, the company was 100% dependent on brand inbound and a pure PLG motion. A defensible position that had a clear ceiling once the decision was made to move upmarket and build a sales team. She launched three new acquisition channels in parallel: paid advertising that became the top revenue driver after brand, an outbound motion built on influence marketing with custom attribution, and a partnership channel, all while repositioning Lemlist for the US market without losing its French community base. The result: €30M in new ARR, 60% year-over-year growth, and France's share of revenue dropping from majority to 30% while US grew past 30%.

David Sandström

CMO

David is CMO at Klarna during the company's most public reinvention, from BNPL leader to AI company to IPO candidate, which means managing a brand narrative that is simultaneously dealing with consumer skepticism, investor scrutiny, and a competitive market that has spent years trying to define Klarna on its own terms. He has built a marketing function that moves fast enough to win news cycles and disciplined enough to build category leadership, using Klarna's global scale as an amplifier for campaigns that consistently earn attention without requiring traditional media spend. The brand work has been a material contributor to Klarna's IPO positioning, with the company's market narrative largely reflecting what the marketing team has built.

Kendall Tucker

Director of Creative Experimentation

Kendall leads creative experimentation at Ramp with a mandate that most marketing functions wouldn't know how to operationalize: systematically test creative hypotheses at the speed of a performance team while maintaining the quality bar of a brand team. She has built the function around a test-learn-scale loop that has become one of Ramp's primary levers for paid acquisition efficiency, generating creative insights that feed directly into media buying decisions rather than running in a separate brand track. The result is a creative function that is measurably accountable to pipeline and a Ramp brand that is consistently recognized as one of the most distinctive in B2B fintech.

Nathan Merzvinskis

Founder and CEO

Nathan founded Freckle and grew it 2,236% year-over-year. A number that obscures the harder story, which is that he pivoted the company's entire ICP definition mid-year when early traction data showed the original positioning was attracting the wrong customers. He rebuilt Freckle's go-to-market around a sharper segment, used the pivot as content to build in public, and turned the transparency of the process itself into a community acquisition channel. The result is 6,500 users, a $4M seed round closed in May 2026, and a marketing motion where the founder's story and the product's story are the same.

Alina Vandenberghe

Co-CEO & Co-Founder

Alina co-founded Chili Piper and has spent the years since at the rare intersection of product leader and revenue operator, running a company where her own go-to-market motion is also the product use case, which creates an unusual feedback loop between what the team ships and what it sells. She has built Chili Piper's marketing around the conviction that the companies winning in B2B SaaS are the ones that remove friction from buyer behavior rather than adding more content to the decision process. The result is a brand that is synonymous with inbound conversion efficiency, with Alina's personal presence as an operator-founder adding credibility that no agency campaign could replicate.
