Your product works. Your team understands it. But your prospects don't immediately see why they should care. That's usually not a product problem. It's a positioning problem. I help founders and B2B companies turn complex products into clear, compelling stories that customers understand, sales teams can sell, and markets remember. Over the past 16 years, I've worked across global agencies like Leo Burnett, FCB, and JWT, high-growth startups, SaaS platforms, AI companies, industrial technology, and consumer brands across five countries and three continents. I've seen firsthand that great marketing isn't about saying more. It's about helping people understand faster. Clients typically bring me in when they're: • Launching a new product or feature • Entering a new market • Struggling to explain a complex product • Refreshing their website messaging • Building a go-to-market strategy • Looking for senior marketing leadership without hiring a full-time executive What I Help With • Product Positioning & Messaging - Define a clear value proposition that differentiates your product and resonates with the right audience. • Go-to-Market Strategy - Develop practical launch plans, customer journeys, and marketing strategies aligned with business goals. • Product Marketing - From customer research and competitive analysis to sales enablement and product launches. • Website Messaging & Conversion Strategy - Transform websites from feature lists into persuasive customer journeys that improve conversion. • Brand Strategy & Naming - Create brands, names, and messaging that people remember and trust. Why Clients Hire Me? I combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution. I've worked inside startups where every dollar mattered, led marketing teams across international markets, and managed global brands at some of the world's leading agencies. That means I can move comfortably between boardroom strategy and practical implementation. Recent client feedback includes: • "More clear than our original message." • "Excellent strategic thoughts on our initial marketing plans." • "Exceptional branding strategist." • "We'll work with Yash again." Selected Experience • Fractional CMO & Marketing Consultant for AI, SaaS and B2B companies • Product Marketing Manager at Pixhoto (B2B SaaS) • Head of Marketing for multinational automotive and consumer brands • Agency and creative leadership experience with Leo Burnett, FCB and J. Walter Thompson Industries AI • B2B SaaS • Industrial Technology • Manufacturing • Marketplaces • Consumer Brands • E-commerce • Professional Services If you're looking for someone to simply execute marketing tasks, I'm probably NOT the right fit.

I take a direct approach to stalled growth, weak retention, and the hidden friction that makes businesses harder to scale than they should be. If growth has slowed or stalled, the problem is rarely effort. More often, it is weak funnels, mismatched positioning, unclear offers, underperforming follow-up, poor handoffs, CRM drag, or too much activity with too little commercial return. I help growth-focused companies find what is actually slowing momentum, then fix the right things first. You will get a clear view of what is working, what is not, and what needs attention now. For clients who want a sharp starting point, I offer a Revenue Leak Snapshot: a focused review of one offer, funnel path, customer journey, or follow-up system to uncover missed conversions, weak handoffs, and the highest-value next moves. Most clients start here. You get a clear breakdown of where performance is breaking and what to fix first, not a long report that sits untouched. In addition I can step in as your Fractional CMO and senior client strategy consultant. I have 15+ years of experience across SaaS, logistics, ecommerce, nonprofit, fintech, and other growth-focused businesses. My work sits across revenue growth, retention, lifecycle marketing, CRM, marketing operations, and AI where it actually improves speed, clarity, and execution. I build the systems underneath growth: cleaner processes, stronger funnels, sharper follow-up, and, where useful, AI-supported workflows that improve productivity without adding noise. Sometimes the issue is weak positioning attracting the wrong leads. Sometimes retention slips because the follow-up and customer journey are underbuilt. Sometimes the CRM and automation stack is underused, overcomplicated, or quietly working against the team. And sometimes it is simpler: too many moving parts, not enough clarity, and no one fixing the actual source of the drag. I don’t mistake activity for strategy. I build the structure underneath growth so the business is not forever improvising its way through the same problems. Recent results: • 333% increase in qualified leads for a SaaS company • 47% revenue lift for a B2B firm • 40% increase in leads • 24% improvement in conversion following a strategic repositioning initiative I’ve worked deeply with HubSpot, Pardot, Marketo, Eloqua, and SharpSpring — from platform selection through implementation, training, and execution. Clients value that I can see the strategic picture and still get into the operational detail when needed. One described me as having “a foot in both the marketing and technology camps.” Another noted my “laser focus on delivering customer value.” I work best with companies that want clarity, traction, and less performative nonsense. When growth has become muddled, execution is not matching ambition, or the business has outgrown guesswork, I help make growth make sense again.
