About
About Stephanie Kidder
I'm an American marketing leader who has spent most of my career in Europe, building marketing for tech companies that needed to look, and sell, bigger than they were.
I started with a finance degree, which still shapes how I work: every program I run has to tie back to a number.
From there, I spent eight years at Avid Technology, first in global product marketing, then running a $25M worldwide online business. Since then I've led marketing at software startups and scale-ups in Europe, from RunMyProcess to Jabmo to Cosmo Tech, and today as a fractional CMO.
What I believe
The simplest solution usually wins.
The most sophisticated plan isn't the best one. The best one is the simplest plan that actually gets used.
Marketing is a partner, not a department.
It works when it shares goals with sales, product and leadership. That's how I've run marketing everywhere, and it's why partnerships, inside the company and out, run through all my work.
AI should make teams better, not just faster.
I use it every day, and I help teams do the same, with training that makes it stick.
