B2B SaaS Demand Gen & PLG Growth | Lifecycle, Webinars, AI Automation

I hit 158% of my marketing-sourced booking target in 2025, running global demand gen for 7 finance and ERP software products. Now I build product-led growth programs: free-plan acquisition, onboarding, and trial-to-paid conversion. I’ve run B2B SaaS marketing across North America, the Nordics, France and the GCC for 10+ years. I own the full motion: the strategy, the campaigns, and the automation behind them. I also present webinars myself, not just produce them. Demand gen & PLG Product-led growth: free-plan acquisition plans, onboarding email sequences, trial-to-paid journeys Demand gen for finance and technical buyers: CFOs, controllers, finance ops, IT Webinar programs from topic to pipeline: promotion, hosting, follow-up and reporting ABM and lifecycle campaigns in HubSpot and Pardot AI & automation builds I cut a 90-hour webinar production process to under 30 minutes, saving an estimated $1.3M a year across an 80-person team.
