Outside perspective. Clear-path GTM.
You can't see the picture when you're in the frame.
Hi! I'm Christian, a freelance product marketing partner who brings outside clarity to positioning, messaging, and go-to-market strategy, so your next launch lands right the first time.
Different industries, same patterns.
Here's what I actually get called in to fix.
Winning in crowded, competitive markets
Standing out in a market flooded with alternatives takes sharp positioning and the right timing, especially without a dominant player's built-in name recognition and budget. I've built the strategic clarity and go-to-market timing that let smaller players cut through the noise and win attention.
ProofPositioning strategy in a saturated entertainment industry, including a launch that reached 1.5 million active players in its first month, competing against major incumbents with decades of built-in audience loyalty and much larger budgets.
Leading go-to-market for new products, partnerships, and technology launches
I've owned go-to-market end-to-end for new hardware, strategic tech partnerships, and AI-powered product lines: strategy, sales enablement, campaign alignment, and content production, all under one roof.
ProofGTM strategy and sales enablement behind 20+ product launches for a major smart-home hardware and tech-partnership rollout at a home security leader, generating $300M+ in incremental revenue, plus go-to-market work on a personalization platform in the travel and accommodations space that scaled to $100M in annual revenue.
Driving GTM through M&A and brand integration
Acquisitions only pay off if the market understands the combined offering. I've represented marketing at acquisition meetings and led the go-to-market transition of newly acquired products into a single, unified brand.
ProofLed go-to-market and brand consolidation work following a healthcare technology acquisition, merging multiple acquired products under one product brand.
Accelerating adoption of AI and emerging technology
Whether it's getting customers to trust a new AI-powered product or getting a team to actually use new tools day to day, I've driven adoption on both sides: the product and the people behind it.
ProofGTM for AI-powered product features at a specialty healthcare SaaS company, including a first-of-its-kind AI scribe launch that reached $1M+ in recurring revenue within its first month, plus an internal process overhaul that cut content approval time by 71%.
Built for the moment you're too close to see clearly.
Founders and internal teams are inside the frame, too close to the roadmap and the internal debates to see how a customer actually experiences the product. That's exactly where an outside partner earns their keep.
The Founder
For founders without an in-house PMM yet
I get it: you need positioning and messaging that reads credible to investors and customers, without hiring a full-time marketer before you're ready.
The Director
For marketing teams who need extra senior bandwidth
Let's get you senior GTM hands on a launch or repositioning project, without adding headcount.
Senior product marketing, on demand.
I'm a specialist in positioning, messaging, personas, and launch strategy, backed by 10+ years translating complex products into clear customer value. I've done this work at scrappy startups and established companies alike, so I know what actually gets used, and what just sits in a deck.

Cross-industry pattern recognition
I've spent 10+ years happily jumping between video games, healthcare SaaS, B2C, B2B, and B2B2B. That range means I'm pattern-matching on what works, not guessing for the first time.

✦
Senior strategy without full-time overhead
You get the caliber of an experienced in-house marketing leader, minus the full-time price tag. I'm here for as long as you need me, not a day longer, no pressure, no upsell.

✦
Execution discipline
I bring an Air Force veteran's structure and a Berkeley-Haas graduate's rigor to every strategy, because I genuinely care about getting it right. I don't hand off a deck and disappear. Every engagement ends in something you can actually use.

A true outside perspective
I'm not in your Slack channels or your org chart, and that's a good thing. It means I can give you sharper, more honest positioning than any inside view can.
The idea behind the name
A vantage point is a position that gives you a clearer view of the whole picture. That's the whole job.

A 30-minute discovery call is the easiest way to find out if we're a fit. No pitch, just a friendly, clear read on what I'd fix first and why. I'd love to hear what you're working on.
