I've spent the last 13 years in demand generation. Most recently I led demand gen in a corporate role managing multi-channel campaigns across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and programmatic, building pipeline, owning attribution, and working hand in hand with sales to hit revenue targets. Before that I spent years in the weeds across every channel you listed in this role, from paid ads and SEO to ABM, events, email nurture, and content. I'm not a specialist who only knows one lever. I've run the full playbook and I know how the pieces connect.
