FOUNDER · MARKETING STRATEGIST

Hi, I'm Mary.
I build growth engines.


Fractional CMO and growth operator for SaaS, tech, and B2B companies, focused on positioning, product-led acquisition, and organic conversion systems that drive revenue.

Over the last decade, I've built robust marketing functions from zero, repositioned brands into higher-value categories, and managed organic growth systems that drive qualified acquisition.

My approach

"I don't hand over raw plans. I build operational marketing systems that teams can run independently and scale without ongoing dependence on me."

Track record

A decade of leading brands from A to Z.
