Mathias Hawes

Built for pipeline.
Wired for growth.

I’m a B2B marketing and GTM executive with 15+ years across SaaS and media — most recently as VP of Marketing at AudienceView, where I built and led a 17-person team spanning brand, field, product marketing, BDR, and digital.

My work sits at the intersection of creative storytelling and revenue accountability. I’ve rebuilt demand engines, led M&A rebrands, presented KPI packs to PE owners, and more recently, built the AI-native layer — agentic workflows, account scoring, customer intelligence — that turns GTM strategy into daily execution.

Outside of work: long runs, craft beer, baseball, and anything that gets me outdoors.

What I’ve built.

Pipeline Engine Scaled
ProblemMarketing sourced roughly 30% of pipeline; the rest leaned entirely on outbound sales with no repeatable system.
BuiltA full-funnel engine across outbound, ABM, paid, and lifecycle — each instrumented back to pipeline and revenue.
ResultPipeline mix 30% → 70%+, 5x ROMI, sub-13-month payback.
BDR Org, Built from Zero Built
ProblemNo BDR function existed — all outbound prospecting depended on AEs with no dedicated motion.
BuiltThe company’s first BDR org, layering in intent signals and AI-assisted prospecting so output scaled ahead of headcount.
Result22% of bookings within two years, at 10% lower CAC.
ABM Across 3 Verticals Shipped
ProblemOne GTM motion couldn’t address three verticals with different buying committees in one finite market.
BuiltConcurrent 1:1 high-touch outbound, intent-based sequences, and 1:many competitive campaigns against a defined ICP per vertical.
ResultWin rate +7%, larger average deal size, faster velocity.
Two M&A Rebrands Shipped
ProblemMerged entities carried conflicting brands, client communications, and GTM positioning.
BuiltCo-led unification of brand identity, client communications, and go-to-market positioning across both integrations, working directly with CEO/CRO.
ResultWin rate and net revenue retention each +3% post-integration.

Systems, not slides.

AI System

GTM Intelligence Loop

A 5-phase framework — targeting, outbound, sales execution, an AI intelligence engine, and close/handoff — mapped straight to win rate, cycle time, and deal size, with a maturity roadmap to get there.

System Design

Client Brain

Proposed architecture for a unified, permission-aware customer intelligence layer spanning marketing, sales, and support — a persistent memory of account context that AI agents draw from.

Recurring Framework

GTM x AI Weekly

A running internal log tracking what's actually working — and what isn't — as AI gets embedded into scoring, enrichment, and outbound, account by account.

Playbook

Outbound OS

Scores and tiers accounts, then auto-builds the account brief and the first call/email script — so reps open a pre-loaded, prioritized dashboard instead of a blank one.

Template

Enterprise ABM OS

An operating template for a named enterprise target-account list — win briefs, living account summaries, org mapping, digital sales rooms, and a leadership coverage dashboard.

Research

Consumer & Audience Reports

Original research on ticket-buying behaviour in the US and UK — commissioned and published in partnership with a leading theatre-industry media outlet to build category authority.

On the ground

Repping the brand at industry conferences — booth design, swag, and on-site marketing for TPC 2026 and INTIX 2026.

Let’s talk.
