I spent a decade on both sides of B2B marketing — agency and in-house, brand and demand, strategy and execution. Somewhere along the way I noticed the same pattern: companies with strong products kept losing deals to competitors who simply showed up more credibly in the places buyers actually look.
That observation became a framework. I called it Trust Debt — the measurable gap between what your brand claims and what AI engines, analysts, and buyers can verify. It explains why pipeline disappears even when the product is good, and it gives teams a concrete way to fix it.
YEARS IN TECH MARKETING
REVENUE INFLUENCED
B2B SAAS BRANDS AUDITED
Joined an early-stage startup as a growth marketer. Learned that most marketing playbooks are written by people who’ve never been accountable for a number.
Ran demand generation from $2M to $15M ARR. Built the measurement infrastructure that proved which channels actually drove pipeline — not just clicks.
Moved into consulting. Discovered the biggest gap in B2B marketing wasn’t tactics — it was measurement. Nobody knew what was actually working.
Got obsessed with the question: ‘Would this revenue have happened anyway?’ Built geo-lift testing and incrementality frameworks for mid-market SaaS.
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews rewrote the rules of search. Built the first systematic approach to auditing and optimizing AI visibility.
Helping B2B SaaS companies become the default recommendation in AI-powered search. Auditing, optimizing, and monitoring across every major AI platform.
How AI-powered search is reshaping B2B buying behavior, and what marketers need to do about it before their competitors figure it out.
Why most B2B marketing measurement is theater, and how to build a system that actually tells you what’s working.
What changes when you stop thinking like a marketer and start thinking like a business operator. Frameworks for decisions under uncertainty.
Lessons from building a consultancy from scratch — the real numbers, the real mistakes, and what I’d do differently.
