Performance Media Lead

Five years ago, I gushed about a job I was interviewing for on my first date with the man I would later marry. It was for a demand generation role at Klaviyo, a startup that was in hyper-growth mode and just building out its performance marketing function. With every conversation I had, I knew the team was building something massive, and I needed to be a part of it. Flash forward to our IPO, an experience I got to share with some of my closest colleagues whose unrelenting talent, drive, and kindness inspire me to keep bettering my best every day. I’m not often at a loss for words but getting to walk Wall Street, see our signage, and cheer as that bell rang out was an honor. A once-in-a-lifetime event. Thank you to all my fellow Klaviyos (past and present) who’ve been a part of this wild ride. And a special thank you to: 1. Agata Celmerowski, who took a chance and hired me (even after or maybe because? I stood up and delivered a closing argument like some kind of TV lawyer). 2. Joseph M. McCarthy, who molded my career and challenged me to embrace the Khaos when we were a lean team tasked with driving demand for a brand people hadn’t heard of. 3. Thuan Tran (no doubt cringing at the length of this), for helping me do what most marketers are terrible at: marketing themselves. 4. Margot de la Peña who’s always given me a safe space to grow through vulnerability, all while championing higher standards and empowering me to achieve them. All business is personal. It’s a joy working for a company that embodies that and helps so many businesses deliver that at scale. And we’re just getting started.

Cheers to one of the best demand generation people I’ve ever seen and worked with :-)
