Ryan Connors
Growth Marketing Leader

Performance, Strategy & Execution.I’m usually brought in when a company has traction, but growth feels harder than it should. I turn messy acquisition, attribution, and funnel performance into a clear system that compounds.13+ years across B2B SaaS and eCommerce. Owned $1M+/mo in media spend across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Microsoft, and TikTok.


WHO I HELP

I work best with B2B SaaS, AI, and eCommerce teams that want measurable pipeline and revenue, not just activity.Most commonly, I’m called in when:πŸ“‰ CAC is drifting:
Spend is scaling, but efficiency and payback are unclear.
🧭 Attribution is a black box:
Demand exists, but leadership does not trust the data.
πŸ”Œ Revenue disconnect:
Activity is high, but pipeline and closed-won impact are unclear.
🧠 Leadership gap:
Strategy is there, but execution, operating cadence, and accountability 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 (faster ops with AI)
Run weekly experimentation across paid, landing pages, and lifecycle. AI speeds analysis, QA, and experiment planning so teams move faster with fewer blind spots.

Scale, Align, and Mentor
Build tight operating cadences across Marketing, Sales, and RevOps so teams stay aligned, decisions tie back to revenue, and results compound over time.


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.
