Yoli Chisholm

Senior Vice President of Marketing / Head of Marketing · Deriv (also runs Yoliswa Ventures, fractional CMO consultancy)

Toronto, Canada

I help startups with GTM strategy and execution with a focus on brand, acquisition and Martech infrastructure.

In Yoli's words

I grew up in London, Ontario and have worked in Toronto at Chapters.ca (acquired by Indigo) Microsoft, eBay.ca, Lavalife, Points.com. I then spent 8 years again at Microsoft in Seattle and Sprinklr in New York. Recent CMO at Deriv in Dubai and in between have been fractional CMO to Venn, Outforce, Auditchain and a few other technology startups and companies who hit that 10 year mark and realize they're ready for a few adults in the room. I typically am brought in to help companies with rebrands, positioning, diagnosing customer journey bottlenecks, competitive intelligence and GTM execution.
