Who Brings Me In
CEOs + Founders
“We have wins and breakthroughs, but our plan to grow isn’t sticking.”
CROs
“Deals are struggling to close, and I don’t know how we’re going to hit that growth mark.”
Investors + Boards
“Scale for my portco isn’t coming fast enough, and the company has no GTM plan to get there.”
Every quarter you delay bringing in a fractional CMO, competitors eat your pipeline.

Why CEOs Call Me
A full-time CMO is too expensive and too slow. That's exactly why a fractional CMO for semiconductors and deep tech is the smart call for when the tech works, but customers aren’t buying.
A few deals land, but there’s no plan to keep it going.
Revenue has plateaued and path to scale isn’t clear.
As your fractional CMO, I bring 20+ years in semiconductors and deep-tech marketing, now sharpened with AI-driven strategy and tooling. I don’t advise from the sidelines. I step in, take ownership, and run your GTM so you can focus on the product and the business.
From Unknown to Recognized
Repositioned an advanced packaging company from $12M “R&D-heavy” to $50M “revenue-ready,” now scaling toward $100M. Built its first GTM engine and established it as a credible challenger in the U.S. semiconductor ecosystem.
From Scattered to Standard
A global semiconductor company had a fragmented digital voice. Unified it into a global strategy that grew developer engagement 5× and made the company the benchmark, reinforcing trust with investors and partners during a multi-billion-dollar acquisition and IPO.
From Domestic to Global Contender
A major APAC semiconductor company was strong at home but invisible in the U.S. Recast its positioning and built visibility until it was recognized as a credible challenger in the American market, moving from a regional leader to a global competitor.
From One-Offs to Playbooks
Recruited to build a new digital + AI strategy division inside a technical agency. Worked directly with account teams and semiconductor clients to turn scattered requests into structured GTM frameworks. Scaled the division to $2M in new revenue with full P&L ownership.
From First-Time to Tier 1
Brought structure and strategy to launch a venture event. Its debut grew reach 1,083%, drew Tier 1 investors, and cemented its place as a capital fixture in Texas.
From Tactical to AI-First
Well before most companies grasped ChatGPT’s impact, created a technical agency’s first AI Task Force. Led teams to embed GenAI into client strategies, giving 50+ semiconductor and deep-tech accounts an edge while competitors were still experimenting.
Results
“Hire Jeff. Thank me later.”
“He’s not just a skilled marketer, he’s a game-changer who sees both the business AND the tech, and turns challenges into opportunities.”

FAQ
-
A: That it’s a smart move. Instead of hiring a $250K+ CMO too early, you get senior leadership right now, visible traction in 90 days, and a de-risked path to scale. Boards see it as momentum, not patchwork.
-
A: Weeks, not quarters. I embed directly, align the team, and deliver board-ready progress inside 90 days.
-
A: Yes - I’m here to connect, not compete. CROs get clean, qualified pipelines they can close. Product leaders get GTM strategies that align with what real buyers care about. I smooth friction, not fuel it.
-
You’ll see every number I see. I share regular reporting on pipeline, spend, and results — with full transparency into what’s moving and what needs to change. No black boxes.
-
No. Every engagement is scoped to your specific stage, market, and growth challenge. There are no off-the-shelf templates here. When a company needs a fractional CMO, semiconductors knowledge isn't a bonus — it's the baseline. When a company needs a fractional CMO, deep tech fluency is what makes strategy land. That's the kind of work I do.
