Head of Product Marketing, Benefits, Gusto
👋 Leah Brite
👋 Hi! I'm Leah Brite based out of Denver.

💼 I work at Gusto where I lead product marketing for our employee benefits portfolio.

👀 Top of mind topics: keeping up with all things AI (platforms, use cases, best practices, etc), KPIs and attribution frameworks, and driving expansion/attach products.

🤝 PM+PMM relationship, cross-functional influence, and scalable GTM process

🍦Variety is the spice of life! Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey Ice Cream is a perennial favorite.
