Marc's credibility isn't built on slide decks — it's built on years at the bleeding edge of cybersecurity and AI, across government programs, DARPA-funded research, and commercial go-to-market for some of the most technically complex products in the industry.

Lina brings hands-on marketing leadership forged inside some of the most complex security and technology organizations in the Middle East — programs operating at the intersection of national cybersecurity mandates, enterprise commercial markets, and cutting-edge AI technology.

"Having Marc as both a board member and a GTM advisor through Aterous has been an asymmetric advantage. Most consultants understand marketing. Marc understands our buyers — CISOs, procurement leads, and security operations teams who have seen every vendor pitch and trust almost none of them. The positioning work Aterous delivered changed how we show up in the market, and the pipeline results followed within a quarter."

"We're building at the intersection of AI-EDR, AI deception, and AI model optimization using interpretability — which means our story is technically dense and our buyers are skeptical by nature. Aterous didn't flinch. They understood the technology, challenged our assumptions about where our ICP actually lived, and helped us build messaging that converts curiosity into qualified pipeline. We finally have a GTM motion that matches the ambition of the product."

"Aterous understood the Gulf market in a way we've never seen from a Western-based consultancy. They knew the buying dynamics, the relationship-first culture, and how to position our services to enterprise buyers who expect regional context alongside technical depth. The demand programs they built delivered results inside 90 days."

"We came to Aterous post-Series B with a problem every growing security company faces — marketing infrastructure that couldn't scale and a HubSpot instance built for a much smaller team. Aterous rebuilt our entire HubSpot architecture, integrated it with our sales motion, and had our team running on it in under six weeks. The clarity we now have on pipeline attribution alone was worth the engagement."

"The IAM space is crowded, technically complex, and full of buyers who've been burned by overpromised solutions. Aterous helped us build a sales enablement program that armed our reps with the right talk tracks, the right objection handling, and content that actually moves deals forward. Our average sales cycle dropped by three weeks inside two quarters."

"We were a deep-tech AI infrastructure company trying to explain a genuinely complex platform to a market that's drowning in AI noise. Aterous did something rare — they actually understood the technology, helped us find the buyers who needed what we built, and created a messaging framework that didn't dumb it down. Our enterprise conversation rate tripled."

"Pre-revenue, pre-product-market-fit, and trying to figure out who our buyer actually was. Aterous didn't push us into demand gen before we were ready. They focused the first engagement on ICP sharpening, competitive positioning, and building the narrative infrastructure that every downstream marketing investment depends on. That clarity accelerated everything that came after."

"We hired Aterous to rebuild our ABM program from scratch after our first attempt produced volume without quality. They restructured our target account approach, rebuilt the content for each buying stage, and aligned the whole motion with what our sales team actually needed to have conversations. Our SQLs from ABM are now 60% of total pipeline."

"Lina's marketing instincts are exceptional for AI companies that are still defining their category. She pushed back on our instinct to lead with technology and helped us reframe around the business outcomes our buyers actually care about. The content program she built for us still drives more qualified conversations than our paid spend."

"What sets Aterous apart is that they work at the intersection of strategy and execution. They didn't just give us a positioning document and disappear. They stayed in with the team, built the campaigns, trained the reps, and optimized everything based on what was actually converting. The no-retainer-lock-in model also meant they were always earning our trust, not coasting on a contract."
