Jeff Lesser

Technical Marketing Leader

About

I bring 15+ years building and running marketing at B2B tech startups. My expertise is in sales-led, B2B, technical products with a developer audience. I've done this at every stage: from pre-PMF to public companies.

I use AI and lean teams to build full-stack marketing functions including PMM, brand, demand gen, content, comms, analytics, and more. I believe in delivering results by providing context and expecting accountability.

My approach is to build tech-driven GTM systems that let small teams punch well above their weight. Automation, intelligence, and operational rigor that allows humans to focus on the work that actually matters.

How I Work

Approach & Skills

AI-Powered GTM Systems

I build automated, AI-driven marketing infrastructure that scales output without scaling headcount.

Full-Stack Marketing

Product marketing, brand, demand gen, content, and more. I own the whole function, not just a lane.

Technical Fluency

Confident with APIs, SDKs, MCPs, and developer audiences. More than a marketer, not quite an engineer.

GTM Strategy

ICP, positioning, narrative, launch, sales enablement and more from 0 → 1 and beyond.

Lean Team Leadership

I like to hire, develop, and run lean, high-output teams; do more with less by design.

Economics-Trained Thinking

I bring analytical rigor and systems thinking to every marketing problem.
