One company. Three eras. Zero shortcuts.
I joined DomainTools as a specialist and left as VP of Marketing. I grew through the bootstrapped and PE-backed phases, then rebuilt the marketing organization from a lean team after the Farsight Security acquisition. Every phase, every reorg, every new GTM motion, every new set of expectations. What I built did not just survive ten years at one company. It flourished.
My lane is cybersecurity, specifically the SOC and SOC-adjacent corner of it. I have spent a decade learning the community, the language, the research cadence, the trade shows, the vendors, the analysts, and the kind of work that earns trust from a skeptical audience that has been spammed into oblivion the last 15 years.
I have strong opinions about branding. I do not take meetings with companies that think leading with "Autonomous SOC" on their homepage is sufficient to earn their buyer's attention and business. Not because it is bad marketing, but because it is circumventing the honest, difficult work it takes to build a distinct, differentiated brand. I would rather join a company with a rough story and real conviction than a polished brand that is afraid to say something real. The companies I want to work with have conviction. They just need someone who knows how to cultivate that conviction until the market pays attention.
I am looking for my next marketing leadership role. Series A or B. A product I believe in enough to stake my name on. A founder who wants a partner in the marketing chair, not a yes person. Remote, with travel up to twenty-five percent. VP of Marketing or CMO at smaller organizations. Director or Senior Director at larger ones, if the scope is right.
