You have marketing people and budget.So why does nothing feel connected?
You have marketing people and budget.So why does nothing feel connected?
You’ve made it past the hardest stage. Your CEO isn’t cold-calling anymore. You have real customers, real revenue, real funding. You’ve even built a marketing team and given them a budget, but something’s still broken.
Your content doesn’t support demand gen. Demand gen doesn’t support sales. Sales doesn’t know what marketing is doing. Your team keeps asking for priorities, but no one has time to give clear direction.
You’re invested in marketing. So why can’t you explain your strategy to your board?
What got you to $5Mwon't get you to $50M.
At your scale, marketing isn’t just about generating leads anymore. It’s about orchestrating complex buying committees, coordinating across sales and product, and demonstrating clear ROI to your board.
You need a CMO-level thinker, the strategic leadership layer that connects everything together. Someone who can give your team direction, align marketing with sales, and represent marketing at the leadership table. But you’re not big enough to justify a full-time VP just yet.
You’re stuck in the middle, and that middle is expensive.

Hi, I’m Heather Lodge. 👋🏼
Health tech is a unique beast with its own language, buying cycles and nuances.
I’ve been navigating these challenges for years. From the CMIO who cares about workflow integration to the CFO focused on ROI to the frontline clinician worried about one more tech burden, each needs a different conversation and a different approach.
Your team isn’t failing. They’re executing without a strategic framework. I bring the clarity and direction that makes them effective.
- Engage & win major healthcare accounts
- Stand out in the market
- Grow their revenue pipeline
- Establish thought leadership
- Align sales & marketing
- Leverage AI to scale growth
- Maximize customer value
Companies I've Worked With
Strategic vision thatactually gets implemented
The last thing you need is another freelancer executing marketing tactics without a clear strategy. And you certainly don’t need a typical marketing consultant who delivers recommendations without implementation.
You need is someone who bridges strategy and execution. Someone who can develop the roadmap and make sure the work gets done.
I don’t just hand you a strategy and disappear. I roll up my sleeves and make it happen. I’ll guide your team, build smart systems and implement AI tools that to multiply your impact without multiplying your payroll.

Build consistent, compelling messaging
Nurture buyers across the long healthcare sales cycle
Position your brand as the trusted authority in your niche
