Where I have worked
Testimonials
“Ilana is an incredible product marketing leader. During the time we worked together she made a huge positive impact on the team and company. She provided strategic direction for multiple large-scale product launches, developing best practices and playbooks to drive success. She built relationships across the organization to create alignment around goals, tactics, and communication. She built out and grew the product marketing team to expand capabilities that stretched across product launches, competitive intelligence, sales enablement, analyst relations, and customer advocacy.
She’s the rare swiss army knife that has the ability to see the big picture and go deep on different topic areas. I loved working with her and would do it again in a heartbeat.”
– Juliette Kopecky, CMO, LinkSquares
“I’ve worked with Ilana in two capacities: as a peer and as my manager, and I can’t speak highly enough of her skill, her work ethic, and her compassion as a leader.
At LinkSquares, I was part of Ilana’s product marketing team, and she proved to be a very transparent, understanding, and motivating leader. Always communicative, collaborative, and honest, Ilana is the kind of manager who trusts her team in their expertise but doesn’t hesitate to be hands-on or offer guidance and support when needed. She’s been an amazing advocate, champion, sounding board, mentor, and friend.”
