Maria Scheifler

Maria grew up bilingual, crossing into France for school every day. Two languages and two cultures before she'd thought about a career, and it left her with a habit she's never lost: assuming there's always another way to look at a thing, and another set of assumptions sitting under the obvious one.

In 15 years leading marketing across B2C and B2B tech, through an 11 acquisition rollup and a dual IPO, the work she's proudest of always started the same way. Looking under the hood when everyone else accepted the dashboard. Pipeline that looked healthy but wasn't. A message that used to work and quietly stopped.

She's the one who pulls the thread, and nobody thanks you for pulling it in the moment. At a Series A CX AI business that meant 12x average deal size, 5x MQLs, 33% quarter on quarter new ARR, and half a million in pipeline in 60 days. She'll tell you what's broken early, even when it isn't the comfortable answer.
