Something I'm proud of at Ashby...
I joined in September 2022 to lead the public launch and scale the marketing team. In our first six months, we have accomplished a tonne: assembling a phenomenal team, launching highly effective campaigns, optimizing our brand and content strategy, and establishing a foundation for an efficient marketing function. While it's difficult to highlight a single project, I take immense pride in the team I'm cultivating and the exceptional quantity and quality of our work.

It's been a treat working so closely with the Sales and Customer Success teams to ensure that we are creating the relevant assets to ensure that the sales cycle is smooth and that customers are able to onboard and stay on top of new product launches.

As the first non-eng hire in Europe I've helped set the foundation on how we go-to-market in EMEA.
Something I've helped the team with...
I helped our Go-To-Market folks out with talk-tracks on what recruiters and Head of Talents want to see during a demo: the complete journey of a candidate moving from application to offer and how we demo cNPS and surveys. Also I'm a big automation nerd, so built a lot of Alfred automation recipes for the Go-To-Market team.

Transparency. For instance, I find it refreshing that everyone has access to all our revenue metrics from progress against goal to churn.

The Ashby 2023 Keynote! While all of marketing ran this effort, I got to own two important sections from content to customer interviews to post-production, and helped run the day of production and coach speakers during the actual event. Was an awesome way to get to know the team, collaborate, and deliver real value for our customers.
Something I've helped the team with...
Small but important as a growing company: Built a social media calendar in Asana for marketing to easily visualize what is being promoted by the team as a whole and when we have gaps in updates to introduce fresh content ideas.
Most surprising thing about Ashby...
That it hasn't taken over the entire ATS market yet! The product is incredible, driven by a team that is humble, diligent, and deeply passionate about championing talent and recruiting.

Creating customized dashboards and reports is my favorite part of being a Recruiting Operations Consultant at Ashby. Through these builds, we are able to cut manual work time for recruiting ops and recruiting teams down significantly. As someone who has previously been a recruiter, I know how much every second of the day matters and being able to cut hours off a recruiting team's workload is incredibly motivating and rewarding.
Something I've helped the team with...
I rebuilt and reconfigured standardized dashboards to make it easier to onboard customers using the analytics functionality.

The intentionality of both the product and growth of the company. The product is created with such great intention so that our foundation is prepared for change and scale.

Something I've helped the team with...
For a Marketing team, being able to target the right audiences at the right time is crucial for any campaign or channel. I built a Total Addressable Market database that allows us to track and evaluate companies in our market and identify ones that are ready to start the sales cycle with us. This data improves our knowledge and targeting of prospects across many different channels.

Ashby's adherence to its Operating Principles is really impressive and leads to exceptional outcomes. I think we punch well above our weight in terms of productivity, especially given our size and the value we place on having a fulfilling life outside of work.
