The problem

The in-house marketing and RevOps team was running a complex, tightly coupled GTM stack, Salesforce, HubSpot, Chili Piper, Outreach and Clay, where a change in one system quietly broke something in another. Segmentation was the sharpest example: the field existed in both CRMs with a broken mapping, populated on barely a thousand contacts, with dozens of downstream reports pointing at it.

The play

  1. 1
    Salesforce ↔ HubSpot data architecture and syncSalesforce

    Re-architected the segment field as a Salesforce formula mirroring the account-level segment, mirrored as a text field in HubSpot with a remapped integration, then re-imported contacts to backfill it, and rebuilt all 37 downstream Salesforce reports onto the new field as part of the same change.

  2. 2
    Inbound routing and opportunity creationChili Piper

    Built and maintained the Chili Piper inbound and CRM routers with segment, sub-industry and billing-system rules, added automatic opportunity creation when a demo is booked, and fixed Outreach race conditions that had been silently preventing opportunities from being created at all.

  3. 3
    Lifecycle automation and lead scoring

    Stood up MQL timestamp and lifecycle flows, iterated on the lead-scoring model, and tightened MQL rules so webinar registrants stopped being mis-tagged as demo-request MQLs and inflating the MQL number.

  4. 4
    Campaign, nurture and event operationsHubSpot

    Delivered high-volume HubSpot email workflows, including an eight-email product-waitlist nurture on a weekly cadence with dynamic late-joiner enrollment and a hard stop before the general-availability announcement, plus dozens of webinar and dinner-event campaigns with invite lists, post-event sequences and CRM campaign uploads.

What it moved

~195k contacts re-segmented

The segment field was re-architected across Salesforce and HubSpot and backfilled, taking contacts with segment populated from roughly 1,700 to about 195,000.
