About Anka Ashaolu

Hi, I’m Be’Anka I lead GTM strategy and demand generation for B2B SaaS companies, with a focus on turning product positioning into measurable pipeline and revenue.Over the past 15 years, I’ve built and led marketing and sales development teams while driving growth through integrated inbound, outbound, and ABM motions. More recently, my work has expanded into product marketing where I’ve driven audience research, segmentation, and positioning to ensure strategy translates into execution across the entire funnel.I’m particularly interested in how AI is reshaping go-to-market. I’ve been building AI-assisted workflows to accelerate campaign development, sharpen messaging, and improve how teams move from insight to action to results.At my core, I\'m passionate about organizing ideas into compelling, well-defined goals and inspiring high-performing teams to achieve them.I graduated with honors from Saint Mary’s College of California, where I majored in Communications and minored in English. In my free time, I get to play marketer at Nirvana Soul Coffee Purveyors
