My Experience
Demand Waterfall Modeling
I've spent my entire career following and implementing Forrester's Demand Waterfall frameworks to help Marketing and Sales assess the progress that opportunities are making and identifying areas that need improvement
Attribution
One of the table stakes for any marketing department involves justifying its existence. I've gone from auditing individual records as an intern to deploying several methods of automation to capture marketing's contribution.
MarTech
Through my time in working for several Private Equity held companies, I've developed a thorough understanding of the various types of technologies that marketing teams work with. I've evaluated, deployed, and trained on dozens of enterprise tools.
Insights and Analytics
One of the most rewarding parts of my work has been leveraging data to find patterns and drive decisions. It's almost always about 80% clean-up, but the remaining 20% of interpretation makes it worthwhile.
Marketing Automation
I specialize in Marketo and have built out best-in-class processes for lead nurture, lifecycle management, and campaign production by leveraging the robust automation capabilities it offers.
ABX - Account Based Marketing/Sales
I've helped the B2B organizations I've worked with to identify the companies for which they create the most value and aligned sales and marketing to target that audience in a unified front

Luis is a smart guy. I mean a really, really smart guy. He can solve problems others can't. He can see creative paths to solutions that are both poetic and simple. I, generously, think of myself as kinda bright and I routinely have to ask Luis to slow down and start again. He's is still early in his career, but if I were starting a company, he'd be a very very early hire. And if he were starting a company, I'd be a very early applicant. While Luis has specialized in Marketing/Commercial Ops via Marketo and SFDC, he's unbelievably efficient at picking up new technology and making it submit to his whim. I'd be honored to work again with Luis Esquivel. He's A+.

Luis is one of those people that can look at a puzzle or problem and immediately see a variety of solutions. He is one of the sharpest people I have worked with. His ability to take the data from our systems and create useful, thoughtful reports was indispensable to the success of our marketing department. His brilliance and attitude lifted the team as a whole and pushed us to succeed. He set a high standard of work for the rest of us to live up to. I genuinely believe there are very few problems that Luis can’t solve when it comes to business. His passion for learning and growing, combined with his work ethic truly makes him a valuable asset to any team.
