Embarking on a New Journey: From Zingtree’s Success to a Fresh Start in the Corporate World

Big news: I’m starting a new adventure!

I’ll announce the new company I’m joining on Monday. It’s even cooler than the outdoor walking desk I’ve built! (I’ll post about this hobby project tomorrow)

Although it’s difficult to leave behind the great people and plans of Zingtree, I’m thrilled to take on this new exciting opportunity.

During my time at Zingtree, I saw significant progress across the entire company & especially in Marketing. I’m thankful to have been a part of this growth. A few highlights:
-Pipeline & ARR growth
-Move to a modern demand gen approach
-Rework of the company positioning & messaging
-Rebrand & new visual identity

Collaborating with all of my colleagues at Zingtree was incredibly enjoyable. I’ll miss you all!

I’m grateful to Juan Jaysingh & David Apple for bringing me on board initially & upholding the culture that I appreciated being a part of.

I’m excited to witness how Zingtree will continue to grow to new heights!

Stay tuned for updates on my new journey! And I’ll continue to build in public with practical strategies & tactics 🙂

Joining the Future of Surgical Care: My Journey to VP of Marketing at HST Pathways

Exciting news: I’ve joined HST Pathways as the VP of Marketing!

HST is a ~$50M Bain Capital-backed software company focused on helping surgery centers.

A few of the reasons why I joined:

-Great and growing company (size, growth rate, profitability, culture, etc.)

-Strong alignment on marketing philosophy with my new boss, Nick Latz
As an example, even the job description mentioned demand creation and capture and said “You are a continuous leader, seeking out peers and thought leaders like Chris Walker and Dave Gerhardt to learn from.”

-Team and culture – the Marketers & execs I met all seemed sharp, engaging, and collaborative. The kind of people who I want to spend many hours with.

-Products & industry – Being able to help people provide better care for surgeries is very motivating. Plus HST’s products are game-changing for surgery centers (especially for those moving from on-premise solutions).

It’s going to be a fun ride! I’ll continue to build in public and provide actionable strategies and tactics.
