Mastering the Dynamic Market

High stakes. Constant change. Compressed timelines.

Today’s growth-stage companies don’t need more activity - they need clarity, focus, and predictable revenue. I partner with PE and VC-backed leadership teams to build scalable GTM engines, sharpen positioning, and accelerate commercial outcomes in complex, high-growth markets.

$1B+ in revenue impact by building scalable teams, aligning GTM to business strategy, and turning complexity into commercial advantage.

How I Work

Innovation alone is never enough. Every promising product needs clear commercial objectives, execution discipline, and a narrative that converts strategy into revenue. I operate as a commercial architect; aligning brand, product, sales, and GTM execution around measurable business outcomes.

The method is customer-centric, the metrics are board-level, and the results show up in pipeline quality, forecast confidence, and enterprise scale. It’s about unlocking the next stage of growth and de-risking the path to get there.

My Story

I am a business-first Go-To-Market and product leader with over 20 years of experience scaling enterprise B2B technology companies through growth inflection points.

Across Oracle, SAP, VMware, Turntide, and Craft, I’ve led brand reinvention, platform positioning, acquisition integration, and GTM scale, building teams of 25–200 and partnering closely with CROs, CEOs, and boards.

I’ve helped scale businesses including SAP Analytics ($2B+), SAP HANA ($500M), VMware IoT & Edge ($250M+), and Turntide AI Sustainability ($25M - $150M+), translating strategy into measurable revenue impact.

I’m frequently brought in as a fractional CMO, board advisor, or operating partner for PE and VC-backed companies navigating growth, transition, or pre‑exit positioning.

Mimi Spier is one of the most results driven, creative, and strategic GTM leaders I have worked with. I had the pleasure to work with Mimi first at SAP in the Analytics business and then I recruited her to run marketing at Turntide Technologies when I was the Chief Product Officer. Mimi has a remarkable ability to blend strategic market vision, data driven decision making with deep product insight. At Turntide we acquired 6 companies in 6 months and Mimi re-defined our corporate positioning, aligned the marketing execution and execution across teams, and created a compelling GTM strategy that was crucial in driving our brand forward and achieving 5+x pipeline across business units. Mimi’s leadership style fosters collaboration across teams. Mimi was a critical aid in raising an additional $400M in funding. I’m grateful for the opportunity to work along side such a skilled and forward-thinking leader.
