About Marika Apelo
With 15 years of experience in a communications role, I have had the opportunity to work across consumer tech, enterprise, and fintech industries, supporting communication programs for a diverse range of innovative companies from early-stage startups to Fortune 500s including the likes of Amazon, Intuit and Meta. As a strategic communicator and media strategist, I specialize in crafting compelling messaging, narratives and programs that resonate with target audiences, driving both engagement and business results. Over the course of my career, I have launched numerous new products, features and updates. I have brought companies out of stealth, announced new funds raised, and supported business milestones and pivots. I have been in the booths at trade shows, backstage for keynotes, and driving internal company programing. I have built relationships and rapport with executives, stakeholders, and clients, serving as a trusted advisor and communications partner. I am a dedicated leader, that thrives on collaboration and contributing to the success of my teams and the organizations I serve.
