About Me

Hi, I'm Jessie.

I'm a GTM strategist, hyper-fractional marketer, and investor — and I've spent the last 20 years helping start-ups find their footing and grow.

Where I've been shapes how I work.

Serial first marketing hire

I've been brought in as the first marketing hire at three start-ups, building programs from scratch and navigating the scrappy, fast-moving reality of start-up growth.

The 0-to-100 customer expert

Getting from zero to your first 100 customers is one of the hardest phases a start-up faces. It's also where I specialize — the positioning, messaging, GTM strategy, and campaign execution — that makes that jump possible.

A true cross-functional thought partner

I don't just think about marketing in isolation. I strategize across marketing, sales, product, operations, and fundraising — because getting to market is a whole-company effort.

Recovering entrepreneur turned investor

After years as an operator, I became an investor at TBD Angels and LP at FoundersEdge. I bring both a founder's empathy and an investor's discipline to everything I do.

Beyond the business stuff.

I live in Somerville with my husband, three children, and our Old English Sheepdog, Monty.

Outside of work, I read, cook, host parties and playdates, and complain about politics.

I share a lot of what I learn on LinkedIn — from GTM frameworks to hard-won lessons from the trenches, and pointers for pitching early stage investors. If you're a founder, operator, or just someone interested in the intersection of product and marketing, let's connect.
