Hi, I'm Derek
Strategic B2B Marketing Leader
Strategic B2B Marketing Leader
I'm an experienced marketer ready to bring impactful results for early- and growth-stage technology companies.
If you've perused my résumé or LinkedIn, you'll notice I've had hands-on experience across various disciplines throughout my career. But no matter the role, I'm always focused on being customer-centric. After all, real business results come from highly valued experiences with our channel partners and end users.
Thanks for taking a moment to review samples of my work. I welcome the opportunity to connect and explore how my expertise can support your mission.
Partner ecosystems are the backbone of B2B security and SaaS industries. Throughout my 15 years of marketing and sales experience with solution manufacturers executing two-tier distribution GTM models, I've gained deep expertise and developed strong relationships with strategic distributors, global system integrators (GSIs), value-added resellers (VARs), and managed services providers (MSPs). It's impactful to see innovative technologies and services coming together to create total solutions for our customers.

Strategic content and strong product marketing are the foundations for demand generation, growth, and field marketing. The following use case content showcases my ability to work with engineers and translate complex, technical concepts into digestible, buyer-centric messaging and positioning. I then repurposed these messaging themes across various content formats and personalized them to support ABM and industry vertical marketing programs, or co-branded with channel partners.
