"You make great technology, I’ll make technology great!"
I lead product and solutions marketing for Cribl. In my 30 years of experience in technology companies I’ve lead marketing and thought leadership for companies spanning network infrastructure, IoT, Cloud, and observability. At Cribl I combine the ability to understand the market landscape and how Cribl's vision for unlocking the value of all observability data applies to pragmatic business solutions and customer pain points.
Prior to Cribl, I joined ZEDEDA in 2017 as their founding CMO, successfully created a new product category (edge virtualization), and positioned the company to complete their $12MM Series A funding (50% above their intended goal).
Prior to ZEDEDA, I was Sr Director of Corporate and Field Marketing at Egnyte owning global go-to-market and branding responsibility. As Director of Product Marketing for Aerohive Networks (NYSE:HIVE), I was responsible for understanding market trends and customer needs and marrying them to Aerohive’s product lines to bring to market game-changing solutions. With 30 years experience in the technology industry, an Electrical Engineering degree from MIT, I have spent my career researching technology and working with companies to move from just creating technological innovation to marketing and selling high-value, business-changing solutions.
I also led product marketing and management teams at Meru Networks (Nasdaq:MERU), Cisco, CopperCom, was one of the first 20 employees and the lead for Netgear’s (Nasdaq:NTGR) entry into the wireless market. I have successfully brought over 100 products to market worldwide, garnering awards ranging from Comdex best-in-show to a nomination for a ComputerWorld Smithsonian award.
In my spare time I marry my passion for technology with my passion for wine and I am the co-producer and founder of the international Wine Bloggers Conference which brings together the most vibrant community of wine writers in the world.
Specialties: Marketing for high technology companies. I focus purely on what it takes to move from a building robust, extensible technology to marketing high-value, business-changing solution. Smart people make great technology, I make technology great!
