About

Account Based Marketing, also known as Account Based Selling, is one of the most impactful go-to-market motions for B2B companies targeting enterprise prospects. As a seasoned B2B CMO, Miles Williams helps teams define and launch an ABM program that aligns sales and marketing around a "One Team" philosophy, with target accounts pursued together under shared metrics and shared success. He guides the development of the foundational elements of a repeatable, scalable ABM program that drives high quality pipeline and accelerates growth. In practice, that means creating a tight, well-defined Ideal Customer Profile using both data and qualitative interviews, then revising buyer personas so they focus on key buyers' motivations and pain points with messaging relevant to sales success. Miles partners with sales to build new target account lists for coordinated outreach, establishes simple and actionable account-level reporting to track progress against shared pipeline and booking targets, and defines a cadence of orchestrated sales and marketing plays for intentional, coordinated pursuit of high-value named accounts. With over 20 years of e-Commerce and SaaS experience at startups and established global brands, Miles has built and scaled marketing organizations to support rapid growth and international expansion, and he was part of the executive team that led Shutterstock's successful IPO in 2012. Since joining Chameleon Collective, he has drawn on his experience as a hands-on operator to give B2B clients marketing leadership and a clear go-to-market strategy.
