Hi there,
I'm Shahar Barkai.
A father, an entrepreneur, a visionary marketing and a hyper-growth executive, martial arts enthusiast, always learning new things.
A little about me...
With over 15+ years in the industry and a proven track record of success, and with working closely with founders and CEOs, my specialty is strategizing a go-to-market plan & building marketing machines that achieve hyper-growth rates. Whether it is building it from scratch or optimizing an existing marketing program, each stage brings its own opportunities and a unique marketing approach.
I have managed two companies (one was acquired, and another is at a hyper-paced 8 digits ARR stage), 6 brands, and led several marketing teams & departments up to ~20-person teams & managers.
In terms of business results I bring to the table: one company was acquired (GM role), one company at a unicorn stage (as demand gen/growth leader), and have accelerated two veteran 8 digits ARR companies from growth to hyper-growth stage (VP/CMO roles).
As a growth executive, I was responsible to lead the full funnel functions: Marketing, Demand gen, PPC, data analysis, operations (CRM & marketing automation, Martech, leads scoring, etc.), design, content, ABM, PLG, etc.
My Past Roles include:
