StageRound B

I was Zesty's marketing lead, brought on pre-seed to build the marketing function from scratch.

The challenge

Zesty is a cloud cost optimization company that launched into a crowded FinOps market, where most tools sound alike and a clear reason to choose one is hard to land.

The solution

As Zesty's marketing lead, I built the function from the ground up and sharpened the product story around a concrete outcome engineers and finance both cared about: automated AWS cost savings.
