French

Founder | CEO


Hi! I'm Alison. I'm a CEO, co-founder and marketing maven by day, and mother and marine corps wife also by day...and night. While raising babies, I've also raised several companies - often as employee #1. Scaling revenue and increasing profitability for start-ups is my area of genius…and it brings me the most joy!

My goal is to help B2B founders, and leaders launching into new markets, build a sales and marketing infrastructure that streamlines lead generation and closing deals; while minimizing spend. Think of it as greasing the flywheel for future growth.

I've been working remotely nearly my entire career and have learned a thing or two about successfully navigating a virtual workplace environment and building businesses using the gig economy. Come in, stay awhile, and drop me a line if you'd like to connect.

About Me

My story

Alison French, MBA, specializes in helping companies scale revenue by focusing on the intersection of sales and marketing. She has donned many titles in her career including Co-Founder, CEO, COO, and VP of Marketing, but has learned that titles don’t matter to her. As long as she’s scaling revenue and increasing profitability for businesses looking to make a positive impact in their customers' lives she’s in her happy place

French has over two decades of experience building brands, launching products and crafting sales-focused marketing strategies at myriad companies. From building out a marketing team at the world’s largest yacht brokerage at the age of 22 to being employee number one at several multi-million dollar companies, French prides herself on having an innate sense of driving businesses forward. Currently, she is reimagining how B2B sales and marketing will evolve in a post-pandemic world.

French's journey to one of the country's few female CEOs and founders in the tech industry brought her through five countries in a span of 20 years, and this unique perspective has helped shape her business perspective. French resides in San Diego and has worked remotely virtually her entire professional life due to her husband’s military career, having lived in five states and three countries.

When not helping raise companies, French and her husband are raising her three children (ages 9, 6 and 3). In her free time, she enjoys gardening and is currently creating a Pollinator Paradise, to encourage visits from bees, Monarch butterflies and hummingbirds. As a mother of daughters, French is passionate about helping other women juggle careers and motherhood.

My Highlight Reel​

My career has not followed the typical path. From managing global, corporate marketing campaigns to building several companies from scratch, my breadth of knowledge on how all aspects of a business work together to create a thriving organization is my greatest asset.

Co-Founder & CEO @ Emerged
Generated a $9M valuation in 2 years for a bootstrapped startup that focused on helping B2B companies reduce costs associated with sales prospecting and customer acquisition by automating digital selling.

Global VP of Marketing @ Nutritional Growth Solutions
We started with nothing (no product, no brand, no revenue) and ended with an IPO on ASX (A$24m) in 3 years. As employee #1 I touched all aspects of this startup—product development, operations, finance, sales, and marketing.

Founding Investor & Advisor @ PowerDot
Part of the founding team and ongoing marketing and e-commerce advisor. Efforts led to a successful exit to Therabody in 2022.

Senior e-Commerce & Digital Marketing Manager & DJO Global
Employee #1 at an e-Commerce start-up that was acquired by DJO Global, the largest medical device company in the world, in 2011. I stayed on and achieved 10x revenue growth and expand the consumer e-commerce footprint globally.
