Hi, I’m Madhu Gulati, CEO and President of Marrina Decisions.
I believe that educational opportunities should be equally distributed across our industry, but as many of us know, this is simply not the case. My vision and purpose behind creating the MarTech Pulse Community is to bridge the gap in education equality and remove barriers to success in the MarTech space – something that I am deeply passionate about.
My own experiences in the workplace formed the vision for this much needed community.
In 2008 my husband and I were both impacted by the recession and lost our jobs like so many others. As a mother, this created many challenges in my personal life and I quickly realized that I needed to be open to learning new skills, tools, technology and entertaining other roles within the industry. I had the drive, but nowhere to go to ask questions, learn, and network with other thought leaders.
I shifted my mind set and started a social media agency, while this didn’t work out I discovered that many other opportunities were available to me if I just stayed open minded. This led me to my next career move and I found I enjoyed learning the Marketo platform. I’m now a leader in the Marketo User Group in Los Angeles, California and the CEO of Marrina Decisions where I’ve been able to take my love of Marketo and the MarTech industry to whole new levels. I also enjoy mentoring other professionals, preparing them to transition into different parts of the industry, and helping them interview effectively.
Fueled by the realities of my own experience, it’s now become my mission to create a community for MarTech and marketing ops professionals to network with peers, learn best practices, and even find new job opportunities.
It’s my belief that when we provide the right resources to professionals of all levels, we empower them to learn and grow in the MarTech space.
I want to personally invite you to join us as a member of the MarTech Pulse Community. I hope to see you there!
