SKILLS
ABOUT MICHELE DON DURBIN
I help brands find their voice — and teams find their groove. With years of experience leading through complexity, I specialize in product marketing and go-to-market strategy that creates clarity and fuels growth. As comfortable shaping vision in the boardroom as I am honing messaging in a sprint review, I stay close to the customer, the data, and the craft.I’ve revitalized mature products, aligned pricing with real customer value, and guided companies as they expanded into new markets or prepared for acquisition. While I’ve worked across both consumer and B2B, my sweet spot is partnering with earlier-stage companies that have found product-market fit and are ready to take on new scale—expanding services, creating new categories & finding new markets, and reaching nuanced customer segments—with fresh momentum, clear focus, and creative energy.I lead with curiosity, emotional intelligence, and a strong sense of accountability, balancing big-picture strategy with a readiness to roll up my sleeves when needed. I build high-performing, inclusive teams that people want to be part of and that consistently deliver meaningful business results.
