Staci Cretu

Founder

I help B2B technology, cybersecurity, SaaS, and growth-stage companies transform marketing into a measurable revenue engine.

For more than 20 years, I've partnered with founders, CEOs, and executive leadership teams to build scalable go-to-market strategies, strengthen market positioning, and align marketing, sales, and product organizations around growth.

Throughout my career, I've served as a Chief Marketing Officer, agency founder, fractional executive, and strategic advisor. I've led marketing organizations through periods of rapid growth, market expansion, repositioning, and transformation—always with a focus on measurable business outcomes.

My experience spans cybersecurity, enterprise technology, SaaS, manufacturing, professional services, and government organizations. I understand the challenges that come with complex buying cycles, technical audiences, competitive markets, and aggressive growth goals.

Today, I work directly with leadership teams to create clarity, alignment, and accountability across the entire revenue journey—from positioning and demand generation to product marketing and executive strategy.

Because great marketing shouldn't just generate awareness. It should drive growth.

In practice

The work is mostly listening, writing things down, and deleting half of them.
