Katie
Gerard
Formerly Sr Director, Product & Customer Marketing
Greenhouse Software
Katie Gerard is a product marketing and go-to-market leader with 15+ years in B2B SaaS, with her last role leading the product and customer marketing team at Greenhouse — spanning PMM, customer marketing, monetization, competitive intelligence, and community. Much of her recent work has been at the sharp end of AI go-to-market: she led the launch of Real Talent, Greenhouse's AI-powered anti-fraud hiring product, and built the positioning and packaging that brought Ezra AI Labs' AI conversation capabilities into the portfolio. Before Greenhouse, she built the product marketing function from the ground up at Workhuman, and led product marketing for Klaviyo's midmarket and SMB business through its IPO. Her sweet spot is the intersection of positioning, pricing and packaging, and competitive strategy — plus building and growing the teams that bring it all to life. She leads as a player-coach: set the strategy, then help great people run. Katie is a regular speaker at Product Marketing Alliance summits and mentors people breaking into PMM.

Telling a sharper product story in the age of AI
Over the last three months, I’ve talked to nearly 100 people across B2B SaaS, and they’re all struggling with the same thing. AI has Product shipping more than ever. For product teams that have felt perpetually behind on innovation, suddenly being able to ship this much is a rush. And it comes with a new expectation: everyone, from prospects to customers to the field, should learn every single release well enough to recite it back. But there are two problems for you, gentle product marketer. First, people are terrible at remembering isolated data points. They’re definitely not going to stitch a pile of features together on their own and conclude, “Wow, this company is so innovative.” Second, not every feature matters to every customer, and not every feature is built with a commercial goal in mind. That’s why making sure everyone and their mother hears about every release shouldn’t be your goal. So what does make a company feel innovative? A clear point of view and story around how you innovate, and features that prove it. You’ll leave with a practical way to turn a firehose of features into a story both your market and your internal teams will actually remember and believe.
