What 100+ Startups Taught Me About GTM
Keith is a startup GTM B2B marketing expert and mentor. He has built or advised over 100+ startups.
After advising 100+ startups on go-to-market and building my own, I've learned there is no growth "hack." What separates the startups that break through isn't a clever tactic; it's a small set of actions, done consistently, that compound into an edge.
His experience includes founding Rebel GTM and marketing leadership roles across AI/ML, Healthtech, Recruiting, CX, ERP, Fintech, Hardware, and Supply Chain. With an engineering background, he loves to delve into products, technology, and markets to identify the gems that drive a unique GTM strategy.
Keith has started four product marketing departments from scratch and run two startup marketing departments, including leadership roles at Deepgram, Epicor, Experience.com, Lumasense, and Yapstone.
He is currently a Key Advisor and Selection Committee Member for Berkeley Skydeck, a Mentor for Bronco Ventures at Santa Clara University, a Speaker and Mentor for VentureDock, and a Board Member for Funding Breakthrough Lab.
