Head of Growth Marketing/ Fractional CMO, Marketing Mentor, Growth Coach
This was my first session with Jahnavi and she's a great listener and knows how to ask calibrated questions. Even though our time was short, she made sure I leave with key takeaways. I'll be scheduling more sessions with her to further brainstorm our GTM strategy and work on fleshing out a campaign. Highly recommended.
It's always wonderful to connect with Jahnavi. Talking about sales and marketing tactics and what is working in the world right now. Highly recommended CMO!
Janhavi was fantastic—this session really got my wheels turning. She helped me think deeper and into where my audience actually lives online, including AI search and niche communities I hadn’t considered. It wasn’t vague advice—it was actionable, strategic, and energizing. Left the call with clear direction and ideas I can execute right away. Highly recommend if you’re looking to expand your visibility in a smart, modern way.
Bio
I’m a B2B SaaS marketing leader with 15+ years of experience driving pipeline growth and revenue impact. I focus on building growth systems that deliver, from demand generation to account-based marketing, with a track record of doubling growth and scaling ROI-driven GTM with AI. In my most recent role, I drove 200% year-over-year growth, lifted MRR by 25%, increased pipeline by 41%, grew SQLs by 64%, and ran a webinar that delivered seven times higher qualified attendance than any prior program, turning a canceled initiative into the best-performing campaign to date. I’ve led growth across startups and enterprise with the same approach: test, refine, and scale what works. I can help you with: ✓ Growth strategy and benchmarks ✓ Go-to-market planning (with AI workflows) ✓ Account-based marketing (ABM) ✓ Inbound and outbound demand generation ✓ Drip and nurture programs ✓ Buyer persona and profiling ✓ Content, channel, and campaign strategy ✓ Sales enablement and revenue-focused events ✓ Team design and hiring for growth ✓ Maximizing ROI from agencies and vendors I enjoy working with founders and teams who want sharper execution and clear outcomes. If that’s you, let’s connect.
Expertise
Building a team
I can help you develop hiring plans in order to hire your sales and marketing team by identifying the unique skills necessary internally and outsourcing the rest. I have experience building up marketing departments.
Content marketing
I can help build a cadence-based content strategy to help you send the right content at the right time to the right person in the right stage of their buying cycle. Cadence in content would depend upon a number of factors such as who you are marketing to, what platforms, how you would keep them engaged, when, what you engage them with, and the value offered. Please note, I am not a copywriter.
Email marketing
Depending upon awareness or conversion goals, I can help with database segmentation ideas to build highly targeted email campaigns. I can also review email drafts.
Go to market strategy
Let's put together a GTM strategy depending upon your objectives of brand awareness or lead generation, the industry, and the geography. The plan would include who, what, when, where, why, and how of the targeting strategy to achieve your revenue metrics. This should help answer how many leads, MQLs, SQLs, Opporunities, Deals do you need to achieve the ARR and MRR goals.
Growth marketing
In order to build growth strategies, I use my persona model to understand the buying psychology, the internal, external, and psychological hurdles in the decision-making process, and then define a full-funnel targeting strategy by speaking their language at every stage in the buying cycle. Let's talk about setting up a repeatable and scalable system not just at the acquisition stage but also through retention and referrals.
Idea validation
Do you have a brilliant idea but you are not sure if it'll help achieve your ROI goals? I can help you with some feedback and whether the plan is going to yield the desired results!

I'm here to lend my ears, and in any way, I can help peel the onions to see the situation in a different light. Let's talk and find out the solutions to your problems (any!) so tomorrow is a bright and happy day for you!
