Building from scratch: Heidi Joy Tretheway, Garden The Changemakers

Heidi Joy Tretheway is one of those marketing leaders who, in her words, would “rather build a ship than sail it”.

That’s why she’s always gravitated towards startups with huge growth potential. The challenge of creating a marketing function virtually from scratch, and turning that into a pipeline-building, the revenue-generating machine is one that Heidi Joy absolutely thrives on.

It’s also a challenge that we haven’t really tackled on The Changemakers until now. So Dave gets deep into it with Heidi Joy, exploring what makes a truly effective startup marketing leader, and why she gets such a buzz out of being one. They also chat about:
