CMO – The Dream Team (aka Marketing)
We make people want to drink the Quorso Kool Aid (another imported American term) – i.e., make them live, breathe and love all things Quorso.
In other less vague words, we make sure our target buyer knows about Quorso, understands how it works and why it’s valuable, and is therefore convinced to buy it.
Working with Gabrielle on smart, creative, and cost-effective ways to tackle this multi-faceted and complex challenge.
I also love the power of being brave. Brave enough to pretend we are bigger than we are and, in acting that way, become bigger. I love that even though we are small we are still making a big splash. And I love that even though we are only a tiny team, we are still running an omnichannel marketing engine from soup to nuts (last American expression I promise)
I worked agency side for 10 years, doing integrated and digital marketing for Omnicom agencies in London and NYC. I then joined a US-based martech startup, where I focused on client strategy. The technology was a marketing decision engine, so my job was to map out customer journeys, rules and logic for every client, based on business needs).
Deciding I was determined to get a taste of Mad Men style NYC Ad Land in my mid-20s and making it happen.
Running strategy workshops in Copenhagen, Moscow, and Tokyo, where culture appropriation was critical to the success of the sessions.

In every major retail store in the US.
On stage at NRF alongside one of these retailers and with a booth as big as a house.

Make babies. See countries. Become a therapist anyway. Or start a pickling company….
Haha. I knew about Quorso before it was even called Quorso. When my brother decided to leave McKinsey to start it and asked if he could stay with me in NYC for the first 6 weeks to “concentrate”.
I decided to join him – eventually – because I was both proud of and excited by what he had built so far and could see the potential for real value that a focus of effective marketing would bring.
Gabrielle.
