Talbia Asif — Digital Marketing Specialist
For five years, I have been arms deep, right in the centre of tech startups (Indian & across U.S.) helping them grow. Building lead pipelines from scratch, crafting outreach flows that actually got replies, aligning hiring with product timelines, and iterating messaging until it clicked. At the heart of it all: understanding what moves people, whether that meant translating vague client needs into execution-ready plans, managing stakeholders across functions, or training teams to scale sustainably. My job was never just “hiring", it was stitching together the people and the process to keep momentum going. Now, I’m at Gabelli pursuing a STEM MBA, doubling down on everything I’ve learned, and sharpening the strategy behind it all. I’m here to take that instinct, the one that comes from being in the trenches and back it with frameworks, marketing analytics, and stronger storytelling.
