2019 to 2022
Host Analytics → Planful
I repositioned and renamed the company as CMO. Branded search up 50% in eighteen months off a zero base, unaided recall up 30 points, and new logos from 100 to 300 a year. Marketing Team of the Year.

2017 to 2019
MapD → OmniSci
Moved an open-source database company upmarket into enterprise, from eight reps and no ICP to named Fortune 500 accounts. The company is HEAVY.AI today.
2015 to 2017
Anaplan
