Hello, I'm
Olivier Jaouen

A passionnate, innovative and polyvalent product marketer, helping global
B2B SaaS companies scale their marketing through creative brand experiences and
data-driven strategies, to yield revenue and user growth.

Welcome on board,

I'm into B2B SaaS products & marketing for more than 8 years. I currently work at Dexem as Chief Marketing Officer.

We provide call management and analytics solutions to help our customers' market-facing teams (basically marketing, sales & support teams) building positive voice-based communication experiences with their own customers. Covering the entire customer lifecycle, I'm paying attention to customer interactions, usability and distribution.

With our incredible team, we launched 3 new products over the last years and sustained a significant, consistant and profitable - I insist - growth, based on innovative, data-driven and creative marketing strategies.

Family man and outdoor lover, I also dedicate a part of my life surrending around the ocean with the idea of enjoying the most free playground of the world. This is why I particularly love sailing, stand-up paddling, surfing or windsurfing.

And I think there are strong similarities between building a SaaS business and sailing.

At first, you only have a certain idea of where you want to go, but the path to follow is never clearly defined. You have to understand the environment (such as wind direction, wind speed, streams, underwater rocks, regulation - and crazy jetski riders), and constantly adapt what you do to reach your goals. The necessity of staying aware to changes represents for me a tremendous opportunity to grow personally, to be part of a moving world, and to enjoy life alongside family, friends and teammates.

As a current fast-changing environment, the software industry offers a lot of opportunities, especially into the communication and analytics areas. Building great products is hard but highly rewarding, and I really feel excited by this challenge! I mostly share what we build and learn along the way on SaaS products strategy and SaaS distribution.

Feel free to browse the articles and hit me up, I'd truly love to hear about you!

Olivier
