Jan Deahl — CEO
I Build Marketing Efforts that Drive Revenue Growth. My career has literally taken me around the world and back, from New York to Hong Kong to Kansas City and back to New York again. I’m grateful for the journey, and I’ve learned a lot along the way. I’m a CMO, growth strategist, and business builder with deep financial services expertise. I’ve run global marketing efforts at leading investment firms, asset managers, and fintech companies, including AllianceBernstein, Janus Capital, and CFA Institute. I believe marketing is a growth engine—not the pictures and colors department. My work is grounded in strategy, execution, and focused on outcomes: leads, pipeline, revenue, and long-term brand equity. Today, I lead global marketing at Drake Star, an award-winning tech-focused investment bank. I also advise early-stage ventures and am building my own portfolio of businesses I help scale (some I support, some I own). I operate with one simple equation: Mindset + Strategy + Execution + Grit. I believe in helping people, doing the next right thing, and building with purpose. 🔹 Highlights - Deep financial services & fintech marketing experience - Led marketing for global investment firms (AB / Janus / CFA Institute) and agile growth stage firms (Alexandria Technology / Drake Star) - 7+ years in Hong Kong—experience across global + regional mandates - Passionate about building marketing efforts that drive real business growth - Known for a blend of leadership, strategy, execution, and results 🔹 Results - 750%+ increase in pipeline - Over $10 billion in new business generated - Launched new website that dramatically increased leads & demos - Drove +100% growth in LinkedIn following - Led global project with +400% increase in operational efficiency 🔹 Key Knowledge Areas Marketing Strategy | Revenue Growth | Pipeline Generation | B2B Marketing | Brand Strategy | Product Marketing | Thought Leadership | GTM Execution | Sales Enablement | Marketing Technology | Digital Campaigns | CRM | SEO | Social | Investment Banking | Asset Management | FinTech | SaaS
