Live Office Hours with Laura Mesa, former Vice President of Marketing & Community at Product Hunt

​Join us for Elpha's Live Office Hours with Laura Mesa!

​Most recently, I was the VP of Marketing and Community at Product Hunt. 

​My career thus far has been a journey of serendipitous, and often unexpected twists and turns, centered around building community and product marketing for consumers, founders and small businesses. 

​Before Product Hunt, I was at Sequoia Capital leading the community programming and content for the Sequoia portfolio. At Facebook I built a SMB Advocacy program from scratch, eventually leading a global team responsible for some of the most impactful resources, support and educational content for SMBs during COVID. I’ve led world-class customer marketing and product marketing teams at Facebook, Yahoo, Mozilla and Lookout.

​As someone who was recently impacted by a layoff, I now have the opportunity to take a step back and figure out the next step of my career journey.

I’m an open book - ask me anything about building community, product marketing, GTM strategy, venture capital, brand management, building and managing exceptional audience-centric teams, career development, surviving lay-offs, LGBTQ, parenting or Latin-x identities in the workplace.
