Marissa Salzone is an award-winning marketing executive and Director of Marketing at Echelon Risk + Cyber who has spent her career proving that marketing is not an elective, it is a business driver.

With deep roots in B2B cybersecurity and demand generation, Marissa drove over $22 million in revenue and a 420% increase in sales while helping grow a cybersecurity firm from startup to industry leader, earning coverage in The Washington Post, TIME, and Business Insider. She holds a record-breaking lead-to-prospect conversion rate of 46%, was named Cybersecurity Marketer of the Year for North America, and recognized as one of the Most Inspiring Women in Business.

Marissa has spent her career operating at the executive level and building marketing organizations that run like business units: accountable, aligned, and impossible to ignore.

Four months into her role at Echelon Risk + Cyber, she received the firm's highest honor: Echelonian of the Year, a reflection of the culture and standards she brings to every team she joins.

When she is not building marketing strategies, you will find her exploring new restaurants because life is too short to cook, and at her local yoga studio whenever it is time to decompress and reset.
