Strategic Product Marketing for Growth-Stage Technology Companies

I help B2B technology companies clarify their strategic narrative at critical moments: acquisitions, platform pivots, upmarket expansion, and category repositioning.

My work turns product complexity into a clear story that drives revenue, aligns teams, and supports enterprise growth.

Virgin Pulse (now Personify Health)

Challenge

Virgin Pulse needed to move beyond a mid-market wellness story to win enterprise buyers and support a complex M&A trajectory: acquisition by Insight Partners, sale to Marlin, and merger with RedBrick Health.

Approach

Led the shift from point-solution messaging to a strategic enterprise platform narrative anchored in C-suite priorities: workforce performance, productivity, and culture. Supported acquisition positioning for Insight Partners, then drove integration messaging and value articulation through the Marlin sale and RedBrick Health merger.

Impact

Enabled expansion into multi-year, seven-figure enterprise contracts and supported successive private equity transactions during growth from $60M to $250M in revenue.

Poppulo

Challenge

Poppulo needed to elevate its feature-led internal communications pitch into a platform narrative capable of supporting an upmarket enterprise motion. This repositioning became foundational to the Four Winds Interactive merger and Vista Equity Partners exit.

Approach

Built a platform-forward positioning strategy and executive-level sales narrative focused on enterprise change management outcomes. Created messaging architecture and sales enablement assets that repositioned the business for larger deal cycles and strategic buyers. Supported integration storytelling following the merger.

RethinkFirst

Challenge

RethinkFirst, a portfolio company under K1 ownership, includes three distinct brands serving employee benefits (RethinkCare), behavioral health (RethinkBH), and education (RethinkEd). The portfolio required clearer positioning within each market while strengthening strategic coherence across the organization.

Approach

Impact

Improved executive clarity, strengthened enterprise deal pursuits, and created reusable messaging infrastructure across brands.
