Hi, I'm Preston M. Gilmore, a data-driven growth marketer focused on subscription models and multi-channel strategy. I use SQL and cohort analysis to rapidly test and pivot strategies, turning insights into action that lowers CAC and increases LTV. I build dynamic forecasting models and incrementality tests to optimize channel spend over $5M, and I mentor teams to align creative execution with growth roadmaps. I enjoy elevating brand engagement across DTC, SaaS, and enterprise programs by combining analytics with practical, collaborative leadership.
