Stuart Gold brings over 30 years of extensive worldwide marketing experience to the software industry. Stuart’s integrated marketing experience allows him to work cross-functionally within an organization to: • Increase the visibility of the brand through world-class field marketing and events • Establish partner programs that increase a company’s “footprint” in the marketplace • Create prospect and installed-base campaigns and programs to close new business along with up-sell and cross-sell opportunities to existing customers Specialties: Stuart “Executes with Excellence” on all aspects of global marketing; conferences, city tours, trade shows, SKOs (and incentives) and partner go-to-market strategies as well as customer marketing- loyalty, and product launch campaigns. Stuart understands the value of maximizing marketing spend through strategic sponsorship's (buying and selling) along with global vendor negotiations with the understanding that short-term profit doesn’t necessarily lead to long-term gain. "This is a pretty simple recommendation. Stuart ran our major conferences. He turned them into core sales assets for the company. He is one of the best marketeers I have ever seen. He operates on a different plane from anyone, period. I frankly miss being in the presence of his energy, drive and leadership. And all that with great humor as well! He is a solid player." -Bobby Lent, Managing Partner at Hillsven (Co-founder of Ariba)
