Zsuzsanna Blau

Hello, I'm Zsuzsanna, my goal is to empower marketers, especially in complex B2B organizations, to become transformational leaders, drive growth and enhance customer experiences.

👉🏼 I am an audience-centric digital marketing head myself, with 15+ years' experience driving growth in both start-up and large enterprise settings, building and leading high-performing marketing organizations, and managing multi-million $€ budgets. I'm known to navigate into the unknown to learn through discovery, and push boundaries to bring innovation and new strategies into our marketing mix.

📈 Working at the intersection of growth, brand, and product, with a strong focus on digital channels, content marketing, customer advocacy, and marketing innovation, I currently head up the global demand generation function (built from scratch) for Nokia's growth engine, our 3.2 Billion Euro Cloud and Network Services software business.

Spent most of my career in B2B: telecommunications, SaaS, services.

🔥 I'm passionate about everything marketing, tech, people, and equality.
📣 We rise by lifting others...
🌟 My favorite buzzwords for 2023 are #DarkFunnel, #AllBound, #ProductLedGrowth, #DeathOfTheCookies, and of course #GenAI. 😊
