About

Hey, I'm Marina. Over the course of my career, I've experienced marketing from most angles, working with bootstrapped & VC/PE backed startups & scaleups to agency, big corporates, non-profits and solo-preneurs. I've helped build businesses and high-performing marketing teams across a range of products, industries & business models.

Right now I work as a Fractional CMO, helping founders & fledgling marketing teams with things like strategic positioning, GTM, marketing strategy, growth and team building.

I'm down to earth, straight-talking and supportive. I have an informal style and am deeply invested in my mentees journey, choosing to only work with a small number of mentees every month. I've often been the youngest or one of the only women on leadership teams, so I can offer a unique perspective and support others in similar situations.

I focus my mentoring to primarily support:
1. Marketers - to help you navigate the day-to-day professional challenges & provide support across technical/tactical skill-development, stakeholder management, leadership & career growth.
2. Founders - as an independent, no-BS sounding board on all things growth, brand, positioning and employee experience.
3. Aspiring Fractionals - experienced marketers (10+ years of professional experience or VP level min) who want to make the shift to working as Fractional Marketers

Specific areas I can help with:
✔️Marketing Strategy
✔️Go-To-Market
✔️Business/Commercial Strategy
✔️Positioning & Product-Market-Fit
✔️Leadership & Management
✔️Work-Life Balance & Boundaries
✔️Personal & Career Development

It's been an absolute pleasure working with Marina as a mentor! She is incredibly smart and a total B2B Marketing expert. She is always ready to roll up her sleeves to help tackle any challenges that you stuck on. I was initially motivated to seek out a mentor because there is so much you can solve on your own with Google and often times I'd find myself going down many endless rabbit holes. Working with Marina has been such a game changer as she's been able to help talk through something specific with me and suggest direct feedback or potential solves that would have taken me endless hours to try to figure out on my own. Sometimes you may be on the right track with a project and start to overthink what you've put together. Being able to work with a mentor like Marina has helped give me the feedback to push through projects more effectively. Overall, Marina is a joy to work with!

Marina has been super helpful in guiding my thoughts around marketing - I'd highly recommend her. She's asked super-relevant questions, got to understand where I'm at and provided guidance as to where to focus my efforts. I'd recommend Marina to anyone looking for a growth/marketing mentor, specifically around helping you build a relevant marketing strategy.
