About Tom Brown

I’m an enterprise marketing leader with 25+ years of experience building and scaling global marketing organizations at moments of transformation — when companies need to grow, evolve their brand, and differentiate in increasingly competitive and commoditized categories.I’ve operated at enterprise CMO scope, owning brand marketing, product marketing, go-to-market strategy, and integrated marketing in close partnership with product, sales, and communications leadership. My work has focused on driving revenue growth, product adoption, and brand trust by treating marketing as a system — not a set of campaigns.A core belief that guides my work: in an AI-accelerated world, creativity, taste, and human judgment become more valuable, not less. I see creativity as a strategic discipline — the ability to recognize patterns, make decisions under uncertainty, and turn insight into action — amplified by technology rather than replaced by it.Most recently, I founded Original Model, an AI-native creative and strategy studio exploring how human judgment and machine intelligence can be combined to reshape modern marketing, GTM, and brand-building. The work serves as both client impact and executive R&D into how AI changes marketing operations, creative development, and decision-making.Previously, I spent 14 years at Meta, where I led global brand, product, and solution marketing for the company’s business portfolio, supporting revenue growth and adoption across millions of businesses worldwide. I built and led large global teams, established new marketing functions, and helped evolve Meta’s brand and GTM approach through major platform and organizational shifts.I’m especially interested in roles where creativity, strategy, and emerging technology intersect — and where marketing plays a central role in shaping growth, culture, and long-term advantage.
