Sarah Aleksich

Director of Product Marketing | Scaled GTM for 10+ AI Product Squads | Drove 58% ACV Growth through Strategic Reposition

Los Angeles, CA Open to work

Summary

I’m a senior integrated marketing leader who bridges product strategy, brand narrative, and the full customer journey to drive growth. My career spans B2B SaaS, B2C tech, and agency environments, defined by cross-functional programs that move buyers from awareness to expansion and advocacy. Most recently, I built a product marketing function from the ground up, scaling the department to support 10 product squads and orchestrating over 65 high-impact launches. By fundamentally repositioning our platform, I drove a 58% increase in average ACV deal size, proving that sharp messaging is a direct revenue lever. I thrive in high-stakes environments, having spearheaded the go-to-market strategy for inaugural AI product suites that generated attributable pipeline. My approach combines the psychological insights of my UCLA background with a data-driven focus on the full customer lifecycle, maintaining a 98% monthly net retention rate. Whether I am launching hydrogen fuel cell vehicles for Toyota or scaling B2B SaaS platforms, I specialize in zero-to-one strategy, sales enablement, and cross-functional alignment. I help companies move beyond feature lists to create category-defining brands that dominate their market segment and deliver measurable growth.
