AI can write your marketing copy.
It can’t define your strategy.

I help B2B startups turn complex products into clear positioning, sharp messaging, and go-to-market (GTM) strategies that actually drive revenue — in the era of AI.

Does this sound familiar to you?

🫠 The "AI" Problem: You’re using LLMs to save time, but the content isn't actually resonating or converting.

😑 The "Disconnected" Problem: Your pitch deck tells one story, but your website tells another.

😕 The "Bland" Problem: Your homepage sounds exactly like your competitors.

Hi, I’m Sharon!

With over 12 years of experience launching B2B initiatives at Amazon, ByteDance, Alibaba and VC-backed tech startups, I’ve seen firsthand how key insights inform a sharp story and scale a product. I help early and growth-stage companies bridge the gap between technical vision and market adoption. You get the high-level GTM strategy and execution without the cost of a VP of Marketing hire or the bloat of an agency.

Real-World Go-to-Market Examples

Launch the program of Amazon Buy with Prime, enable merchants offering Prime shopping experience on their Shopify sites

Amazon - Buy with Prime

Context & Challenge

In 2022, Amazon launched Buy with Prime, a consumer-facing program for U.S. merchants. The momentum was high, but merchants struggled to understand exactly how it worked and how to integrate it into their direct-to-consumer sites, primarily on Shopify. Inconsistent messaging across the website, lifecycle emails, and sales conversations created some confusion and slowed adoption.

What I Did
I redefined the core product narrative and value proposition, tailoring messaging and educational content to resonate with both existing Amazon sellers and non-sellers. I led the creation of product explainer videos to support self-service understanding and registration, rebuilt the marketing acquisition email strategy, and refined sales outreach talk tracks to ensure a consistent and compelling story across channels.

Outcome
Improved SMB merchant lead-to-launch conversion by 24% within one month, supported by a clear, unified product story used consistently across web, lifecycle marketing, and sales enablement—making the value easier for merchants to grasp and teams easier to align.

Larksuite is an all-in-one productivity SaaS software owned by Bytedance

Bytedance - Lark

Context & Challenge
ByteDance’s Lark, a collaboration and productivity SaaS, expanded from its home market into the U.S. While the product resonated with technical users, it struggled to connect with a broad range of business buyers due to unclear positioning, generic messaging, and limited category context at launch.

What I Did
I repositioned the product around buyer problems and use cases, developed industry- and persona-specific messaging frameworks, and created a new homepage narrative to improve engagement and conversion. I also delivered clear GTM guidance and core assets, including landing pages, product explainer videos, sales decks, and customer success stories.

Outcome
A market-ready positioning foundation that clarified what the product is, who it’s for, and why it’s different—enabling a confident U.S. launch and a stronger, more focused GTM motion.

Launched the program of Amazon Currency Coverter for Sellers and Seller Wallet, helping global Amazon sellers manage funds

Context & Challenge
Amazon launched Seller Wallet, a financial program embedded within Seller Central for sellers operating across global marketplaces. Sellers perceived it as a “nice to have” rather than an essential part of their business, and adoption lagged due to unclear differentiation and an underdeveloped value narrative.

What I Did
I led competitive analysis and in-depth seller interviews to uncover adoption barriers, partnered closely with product and UX to align messaging across key product surfaces, and built sales enablement assets—including battle cards, case studies, and pricing one-pagers—to support go-to-market execution.

Outcome
A sharper, more intuitive value narrative that clarified why Seller Wallet mattered, created demand among targeted sellers, and showed how it fit naturally into existing global selling workflows.

Trade Assurance helps global buyers and suppliers foster more trust when doing business on Alibaba.com

Context & Challenge
Alibaba.com launched Trade Assurance, an order protection program designed to safeguard transactions from payment to delivery and build trust between global buyers and suppliers. Buyers were accustomed to using Alibaba.com primarily for supplier discovery and completing transactions offline, making on-platform communication, payment, and fulfillment a major behavior shift. At the same time, many visitors were not high-intent buyers, leading suppliers to question the effectiveness of Trade Assurance as a growth driver.

What I Did
I developed positioning that reframed Alibaba.com from a supplier directory into an end-to-end B2B commerce marketplace, simplified complex ordering and payment flows into clear buyer guides, created buyer success stories to reinforce trust and risk reduction, and spearheaded a marketing partnership pilot with Jungle Scout to attract high-intent buyers.

Outcome
A clear, confidence-building product narrative that positioned Trade Assurance as a foundational layer of trust for cross-border B2B transactions. The platform has since scaled from $100M to $50B in GMV, and the Jungle Scout partnership delivered a 35× conversion lift, evolving into a product integration and a new high-intent acquisition channel.
