I'm a marketing leader with nearly 10 years of experience building marketing strategies and driving growth for both B2B and B2C companies. I specialize in data-driven SaaS marketing, demand generation and go-to-market execution. In 2024 I co-founded Saavi Partners, helping 13 client accounts achieve over €100k in revenue in our first financial year. I lead revenue-generating activities, manage multiple client engagements (from fractional Head of Marketing to leading SEO, LLM optimization, and lead generation), and I actively use AI tools to streamline and scale marketing activities. I also have hands-on experience with HubSpot, Salesforce, Google tools, LLM optimization, SEO and marketing automation.
