I’m Carrie Parker and I’m the Chief Marketing Officer at Cision. I joined in September 2022, bringing a rich B2B marketing background to the company with a 20+ year track record of scaling marketing operations at companies ranging from high-growth martech startups to global enterprises.
Prior to Cision, I held marketing leadership roles at American Express, Kantar, Valassis, and Cordial. I not only bring an array of experience and perspective, I also have a consistent track record of driving demand and leading marketing teams to consistently deliver outsized business growth.
I earned my BS in Business Administration with a concentration on Marketing from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and an MBA from Columbia Business School. I’m an avid runner and enthusiastic world traveller with my husband and two daughters.
