Biography

Heather Teskey is a chief marketing officer whose career spans B2B and B2C across advertising, financial services, manufacturing, and SaaS. Her focus is translating strategy into plans people can actually execute, covering go-to-market, customer experience, product positioning, demand generation, and marketing operations. She is known for building teams that function as real business partners rather than a service desk, and for making the case for marketing in terms the C-suite and the board can measure. Underneath the analytics, she treats brand as a promise a company has to keep.

Recommendations
