Tonya Williams

B2B SaaS & Consulting Marketing Director | Team Leadership | Turning reactive marketing into a revenue engine | 16+ years experience
About

I’m a B2B marketing leader with 16 years’ experience helping technology businesses turn marketing into measurable growth — pipeline, revenue, and credibility with sales. I specialise in scaling demand generation and revenue marketing, aligning marketing to commercial outcomes, and building the teams and infrastructure that make growth repeatable. I’m often brought into underperforming or fast-scaling environments to create clarity, focus, and momentum — from strategy and OKRs through to hands-on execution. I’ve led global and regional marketing across SaaS, professional services, and the Salesforce ecosystem, delivering outcomes including multi-million-dollar pipelines, 700%+ opportunity growth, increasing marketing’s direct activity contribution to sales from 3–8%, and double-digit revenue growth. People leadership and connection matter to me. I build high-performing teams through trust, clear standards, coaching, and ownership — combining strategic direction with hands-on support. My leadership approach is influenced by rugby and the RFU TREDS values: teamwork, respect, enjoyment, discipline, and sportsmanship. I’m looking for Marketing/Partner Marketing roles at Head/Director/Senior Manager level where marketing is expected to be a true commercial partner. If that’s your brief, I’d welcome a conversation.
