Josh's Marketing Qualifications
Experience level: Vice President
Open to working with clients outside the U.S.
After ~6 years in the consulting world transitioned to a marketing role almost 2 years ago. Started as the Chief of Staff to the CMO and am now the VP of Marketing Strategy. Work on growth marketing, demand gen, marketing operations, marketing analytics, overall marketing strategy, reputation management, referral programs, marketing budget allocation, and much more. I have learned so much in a short amount of time and hope to keep learning more. Would love to help anyone looking to break into marketing, especially former consultants like myself.
About Josh
Some quick facts about me: >I grew up on a cattle ranch in the middle of nowhere (shout out to Kingman Arizona, the metro area with the lowest percentage of college grads in the country!) >Did not go to my dream college because I didn't have a coach or any clue of how college admissions worked :( >During college worked at a few different start-ups and as a tutor/college advisor for at-risk high school students (best job ever) >Somehow tricked Bain & Company to give me an internship offer, worked there off and on for 9 years with some breaks for externships and Business school. >Been actively involved in education and career advancement efforts for dis-advantaged populations >Recently made the career change from consulting to marketing >Married with 2 kids
Why do I coach?
Two transformative experiences have led me to value coaching and want to be a coach: 1. I grew up with a speech impediment until I finally had a good speech therapist in middle school. The impediment is mostly gone, but the shyness and anxiety when communicating has never really gone away. It has taken a lot of coaching and feedback to mitigate those professional deficiencies, but it has been life changing! 2. Before my last year of high school I moved from a poor rural community to a relatively wealthy magnet school in another state. I witnessed the power (and frankly the inequality) of networks, connections and having people that can guide you to success. So I love helping people achieve their goals and dreams like I was helped. I would especially love to help those that feel like they are being held back by either their lack of social confidence or their lack of connections/background. Plus it's super fun to get to know more of the smart ambitious people on this platform!
