Chris Calabro

Freelance lifecycle marketer • 7x Braze Certified

Strategic execution of email and multi-channel lifecycle programs.

About

I've been freelancing full time since 2018. When you hire me, you get me; no subcontractors, no agency. In addition to Braze, I have experience with analytics and data tools tools such as Segment, HighTouch, Amplitude, and data warehouses.

I enjoy all things marketing operations – especially if we can loop in AI. I'm not a developer, but I understand programming concepts and am comfortable working with product, data, and engineering teams to move lifecycle programs forward. I promise you:
