Experience

1. Head of Marketing

   Strike Graph

   Jun 2021 — Present · Seattle, WA, US

   Strike Graph is an AI-native GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) platform that helps companies achieve and maintain security certifications — SOC 2, ISO 27001, CMMC, FedRAMP, and more — faster and with less manual effort. As Director of Marketing, I lead the strategy and execution behind how Strike Graph shows up in the market, operating across the full funnel from brand and content to demand generation, lifecycle programs, and sales enablement. I specialize in hybrid GTM — aligning PLG motions with enterprise sales to drive predictable, revenue-focused growth. I work at the intersection of storytelling and go-to-market, translating complex compliance technology into messaging that resonates with security and business leaders alike.
