Kacie Jenkins — CEO
I’ve been building beloved brands and scaling high-growth startups since 2008. Things I get excited about: Partnering with customer-obsessed founders and leaders who prioritize doing the right thing over growth at all costs. Building exceptional AI-enabled teams that use thoughtful automation to unlock time for thinking ahead, coming up with big, original ideas and building strong relationships with customers and prospects. Redefining marketing and growth as AI diminishes the impact of traditional channel plays and credibility, trust, and human connection become a competitive advantage. Creating trust loops that fuel efficient hyper-growth through meaningful, memorable brand experiences, community engagement and authentic executive thought leadership. Customer-first, full lifecycle marketing that powers retention and expansion. Marketing isn’t succeeding unless our customers are growing with us long term. About me: I’m currently the Head of Marketing for Claude Code at Anthropic. I was previously the SVP of Marketing at Sendoso, where I: Rebuilt a lean, high impact marketing team from the ground up. Owned 100% of qualified pipeline generation, creating over 9 figures of pipeline while partnering with Sales to improve win rates, increase ACV and scale revenue - with a flat budget and headcount. Established Sendoso as the category leader, helping to acquire our top two competitors and turn the business around to dominate the market. Before Sendoso, I helped take Fastly from a 25-person startup to $200M ARR and scale through a hugely successful IPO. I’ve led marketing at Sourcegraph, a dev tools company, where I helped grow revenue 4x year-over-year, and at Ace Hotel Group, a beloved global hospitality brand. I helped build Roku into the leading streaming company in North America. I support companies with: - target market and ICP definition - building high performing marketing teams - dialing in go-to-market strategy - bold positioning and storytelling - creating and defending new categories - tightening up pipeline forecasting and generation - standing up an ABM operating model - building founder brands that drive pipeline - standing up employee advocacy programs - unlocking community-driven growth - navigating the many exciting challenges of scaleups.
