Cybersecurity Marketing Leader

Stacy
Shelley

I am a GTM Partner.

I build and scale go-to-market engines for cybersecurity companies. Twice, I have helped take a company from early ARR through acquisition. I turn category ambiguity into clear market leadership and growth.

I am a cybersecurity marketing leader with a track record of building go-to-market functions from early stage through successful exit. Not once, but twice. My work spans category creation, demand generation, analyst relations, ABM, and M&A integration, always in service of one goal:

Turning a great security product into a market-leading brand that delivers sustainable growth and enterprise value.

Most recently, I served as VP of Marketing at Fortra, leading the $200M+ ARR portfolio of digital risk and email protection solutions. Before that, as VP of Marketing at PhishLabs, I helped scale from under $2M to $26M ARR. Earlier at Secureworks, I was part of the team that grew from $8M to over $100M ARR ahead of the Dell acquisition.

Where I create value

GTM Leadership

Building go-to-market engines from scratch. Strategy, execution, and team development aligned tightly to revenue.

Category Creation

Defining the space before the market has a name for it. The work that makes analysts and buyers take notice.

Account-Based Marketing

Precision reach and engagement with ICP accounts. ABM that align sales and marketing around the same pipeline and ARR.

M&A Integration

Navigating the marketing complexity of acquisitions: brand, messaging, team, and culture. Without losing momentum.

Analyst Relations

Building credibility with Gartner, Forrester, IDC, etc. Turning AR into a strategic asset that supports growth.

Team Building

Hiring and developing full-stack marketing teams at companies in the $5M–$100M ARR range. Culture, structure, and performance.
