Hi! I’m Nicole DeMeo, a strategic advisor, CMO/CSO, growth partner for founders who don’t have time to waste and thought partner to CEOs.
Over the last two decades, I’ve helped raise nearly $500M, led global go-to-market strategies, and sat on both sides of the table — as a VC, fund advisor, M&A lead as well as operator, and brand builder.
I’ve worked under legends like Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt and Chris Foster, launched industry-defining technologies, and guided startups from stealth to scale across five continents. I’ve also helped companies like Apple, Accenture, Redfin, and Omnicom and countless start-ups navigate growth, repositioning, and expansion in competitive markets.
But what drives me is simple: helping visionary leaders align brand, go-to-market, growth and valuation clarity — so their next move is their biggest one yet.
Whether you’re entering the U.S. market, prepping for a raise, exploring how to use need AI strategy your business, or repositioning post-Series B or for the public markets, I bring a business strategist’s lens to everything I do — blending brand with business outcomes and a deep understanding of personal leadership.
I believe in growth with purpose. Traction that’s felt inside the team and in the market. And a story that opens doors to capital, customers, and category leadership.
If your narrative, GTM and your results are not matching your ambition, I can help.
Specialties: Business & Marketing Strategy, Executive/Personal Branding, Go-to-Market Strategies, BD, Strategic Partnerships, Fundraising, Public Speaking, Leadership Coaching, Wine & Cartwheels.
