Hi, I’m Michael P. Hoard, a growth-driven marketing executive with 15+ years guiding B2B SaaS brands from $1M to $50M ARR. I design scalable demand-gen and GTM programs that optimize CAC, shorten sales cycles, and turn under-levered teams into repeatable revenue engines. I thrive on turning strategic vision into tactical execution, presenting clear KPIs to boards, and running cross-functional teams to launch campaigns that drive measurable growth. In recent roles I built scalable demand-gen engines, unified inbound/outbound/digital under a single growth roadmap, and delivered multi-channel pipelines with a strong focus on MQL/SQL conversion and ROI. I balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery. I architect lifecycle stages, lead scoring, ABM programs in HubSpot, and deploy AI-driven forecasting and reporting. I have managed budgets up to $2M and teams of 20+ across SaaS GTM functions, achieving 260% lift in pipeline and 40% MQL-to-SQL improvements. I’m passionate about empowering under-levered teams to operate as a growth machine and partnering with executives to align GTM with business goals.
