Ryan Connors
Growth Marketing Leader

Performance, Strategy & Execution.Available for full-time or advisory work. I turn messy acquisition, attribution, and funnel performance into a clear, repeatable growth system tied to pipeline and ARR.13+ years across B2B SaaS and eCommerce. Managed $1M+ per month across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Microsoft Ads.


WHO I HELP

I work best with B2B SaaS and eCommerce teams that want marketing tied to pipeline and revenue, not just activity.
Most commonly, I’m called in when:
πŸ“‰ CAC is drifting:
Spend is scaling, but efficiency, payback, and next steps are unclear.
🧭 Attribution is a black box:
Demand exists, but leadership does not trust the data.
πŸ”Œ Pipeline impact is unclear:
Activity is high, but pipeline and closed-won do not move with it.
🧠 Execution lacks an operating cadence:
Strategy exists, but testing velocity, accountability, and follow-through are missing.



HOW I DRIVE GROWTH

Diagnose
Find the primary constraint across ICP targeting, funnel conversion, creative performance, and measurement.

Prioritize
Focus on the few levers that move CAC, pipeline velocity, and revenue impact fastest.

Execute (AI-assisted ops)
Run weekly experimentation across paid, landing pages, and lifecycle. AI speeds analysis, QA, and planning so teams move faster with fewer blind spots.

Scale and Align
Build tight operating cadences across Marketing, Sales, and RevOps so decisions tie back to revenue and results compound.


REVENUE ARCHITECTURE:
COMPOUNDING GROWTH, NOT RESETTING.

BEYOND WORK: DISCIPLINE AND SYSTEMS THINKING

Outside of work, I’m an avid hiker (171 peaks and counting), a daily yoga practitioner, and an outdoor photographer. The same discipline applies to growth: consistent inputs, smart adjustments, and progress you can measure.
