Naber! Who are you?!

​

Your host @The Naberhood, Brandon Naber. Friends & acquaintances call me "Naber" - like your next-door "neighbo(u)r", but phonetic. Hence the name of the show "The Naberhood" - clever in its optimal interpretation, humbly original at its floor.

​

I'm an investor, advisor, consultant, and coach focused on helping the fastest-growing B2B/B2C2B SaaS businesses around the world build world-class, predictable Sales & Marketing Engines. Worked around the world with 5 of the fastest-growing tech businesses of all time - @LinkedIn, @Twitter, @Dropbox, @SurveyMonkey, & @Asana - as well as many ambitious, angel & venture-backed startups. Built businesses & teams responsible for every major market globally - 80+ countries across 6 continents, 20+ languages, managed 150+ sales & marketing professionals, 1,000+ interviews, 150+ hires, $200M+ sales pipeline, and $60M+ revenue. Was a hands-on Leadership Consultant for Dropbox (IPO), SurveyMonkey (IPO), Asana (Series E, Pre-IPO), CalReply (Seed + Series A, Acquired), Enboarder (Seed + Series A), FlareHR (Seed + Series A + Series B), and more. Coach/ed Sales & Marketing Leaders at LinkedIn (IPO), Twitter (IPO), Dropbox (IPO), Uber (IPO), Slack (IPO), SurveyMonkey (IPO), HubSpot (IPO), InVision (Series F, $350M Raised), Asana (Series E, Pre-IPO, $213M Raised), Flexport (Series D, $1.3B Raised), Zenefits (Series C, $583M Raised), Mixpanel (Series B, $77M Raised), MixMax (Series A, $13M Raised), and many other high-growth startups.

​

On a personal note - A global citizen w/ an American passport. Have lived in Chicago (USA), Dublin (Ireland), Sydney (Australia), Singapore (Singapore), and San Francisco (USA). Love to travel - both weekend warrior-style & several-week-long trips. We're on a plane at least once/month to explore new cultures, learn local history, meet great people, enjoy local food & beverages, and breakdown walls of ignorance we did & didn't know we had. Never met a stranger, just friends that I don't know yet. Friends & colleagues have most frequently described me as switched-on, focused, intense, genuinely curious, always learning, having a terrible memory, process-driven, data-driven, into the details, passionate, compassionate, having a positive attitude, and the guy who smiles & laughs all the time. 

 

The Naberhood - The Why?

 

This is a passion project for the people: YOU - the switched-on, ambitious, autodidacts of the world.

 

Over the last 15+ years, having lived in and worked with a large, diverse set of markets, I’ve had the privilege & opportunity to meet, work with, lead, follow, mentor, coach, consult, befriend, and learn from some of the most brilliant, successful, experienced, talented, compassionate, and highly-skilled sales & marketing minds on the planet from the fastest-growing companies around the world. Their experiences, professional & personal stories, work & life lessons, motivation, inspiration, and sage advice have produced an immense, immeasurable amount of value & impact in my life. The Naberhood aims to pay this forward via unpacking, recording, & sharing this value for everyone - including current & future sales & marketing leaders - to consume for their own self-serve learning (and sometimes entertainment) purposes.

​

Sharing their brilliant minds & inspiring career & personal stories with you is both a coveted responsibility and an absolute pleasure.

 

The Naberhood - The How?

 

Our guests are some certifiably-badass human beings - both personally & professionally. We have switched-on, fun discussions that aim to democratize the superpower mindsets, methods, frameworks, and career stories of these world-class sales & marketing leaders & operators from the world’s fastest-growing companies. We have a no jerks policy for guests.

1. World-Class Mindsets (Strategy) - Frameworks, Principles, Advice

2. World-Class Methods (Execution) - Processes, Tactics, Routines, Tools

​

The Guests - Where Do You Source Them?

 

Short answer = My 1st-degree professional network + 1st-degree network referrals + referrals from former guests, consulting client, & coaching clients.
