Gary Lombardo

CMO, Alpenglow Marketing

I'm a marketing leader with deep experience in helping organizations define a scalable and repeatable business focused on growth. I've successfully grown companies from $0 to $500m+ in revenue in cloud based models including with pre-IPO and public companies-- from largest software companies in the world to fast growing start-ups. Successful exits include IPOs and acquisitions. My expertise is in selling enterprise solutions in global markets, including NA, EMEA and APAC. I'm a versatile marketing athlete, with experience serving as the head of marketing, and with proven expertise in all functions of marketing including product marketing, demand generation, corporate marketing, product management, and partner marketing. I've had experience sitting on executive teams, leading large teams, small groups, being matrixed, serving as an individual contributor and everything in between. Regardless of the role, I always maintain a ‘roll up your sleeves, get things done’ approach.

My proven core competencies include general management, product marketing, demand generation, corporate marketing, product management, strategic planning, management consulting, retail operations—both ecommerce and in-store—mobile, personalization, digital experience analytics, CRM, HCM. I also have experience with security software. I’ve got a command of industry trends and best practices, serving as industry thought leader as well as advisor to business and technology executives.

In business and in life, I’m all in. I’m an adventurer, athlete, seeker of new experiences and coach. I’ve been on high altitude expeditions to more than 9 different countries, including in the Andes and to 7100m+ in the Himalaya. I’ve scaled walls and jumped over fire in 30+ mile obstacle course races, raced Ironmans, hung in crevasses, climbed frozen waterfalls, rode elephants in the Nepali jungle, swam 3+ mile races in the open ocean and am a Death Race finisher. I own and operate Ascend Sports Conditioning, am a former CrossFit affiliate owner, a current CrossFit L2 coach, a United States Triathlon L1 coach, and Spartan SGX L2 coach, and have helped hundreds of athletes achieve their personal goals. And I’m terrible at golf.
