Today’s guest is a first-time SaaS marketing executive who’s building a legacy and reputation for building brand and demand at impressive startups.
Meet Mark Huber, VP of Marketing at UserEvidence. He’s had an impressive career journey from self-teaching to becoming a VP in B2B tech. He’s known for his dynamic and impactful marketing strategies and for maintaining an aspirational work-life balance. Mark’s story is one of relentless dedication, adaptability, and the courage to balance creative passions with executive responsibilities. But he’s not done—he’s had his sights set on becoming a CMO, and he knows how he’s going to get there.
In this episode, we also dive into the nuances of decoupling self-worth from work, handling the pressure of hitting targets, and the importance of work-life balance. Here are a few of my favorite insights from Mark:
- Why it’s important to detach happiness from metrics and stay even-keeled for your own self-worth
- Why honesty and accountability are the two most important characteristics of any strong marketing or sales team
- The importance of work ethic, trustworthiness, and genuineness when it comes to interviews and climbing the career ladder
- And Mark’s tips for seeking roles and work environments where you can find joy
