Team Leadership

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 marketing 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 means orchestrating complex buying committees, coordinating across sales and product and demonstrating clear ROI to your board.

You need a CMO-level thinker, the 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 a full-time VP is a lot of payroll for your size.

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. I get it in a way most marketers don’t.

My newsletter, Diagnosis: Marketing, reaches 5K+ health tech leaders, and my writing on healthcare marketing was recognized with the 2026 Swaay.Health Article of the Year award.

Let me reassure you: Your team isn’t failing. They’re executing without a strategic framework. I bring the leadership and direction that makes them more effective.

Companies I've Worked With

How much revenue are youleaving on the table?

sYour pipeline is worth more than you think. See what a 20% conversion improvement could mean for your revenue.

This numberdoesn't fix itself

If you’re ready to build the strategic framework to close the gap, book your 90-Day Marketing Clarity planning call.

Whois this for?

This is for you if:

You're stuck between "too big for founder-led marketing" and "ready for a $200K+ salary plus benefits marketing executive"
Your marketing efforts feel fragmented and disconnected
Spending $500K+ annually on combined marketing and sales operations (including team, programs, events and tools)
You have 1-3 capable marketers who need direction (in-house, agency or AI employees)
Marketing and sales aren't aligned on strategy or priorities
You don't have a system connecting marketing activity and pipeline/revenue

This is not for you if:

Your combined marketing and sales ops budget is <$500K annually (not enough scale for this model to work)
You have no marketing team (focus on hiring a marketing generalist first)
You need someone to execute a pre-determined plan (better to invest in a freelancer/agency)
You're not ready to delegate marketing decision-making (if the CEO/board needs to stay involved in every decision, we'll both be frustrated)
You just need quick wins (building marketing infrastructure isn't quick or flashy, but it's what creates predictable growth)
