Gaetano DiNardi is a musician and songwriter who transitioned his career from music production into growth marketing and SEO. Based out of Miami, Florida, he’s a top advisor to B2B software companies like Kustomer, Gong, Cognism, Workvivo, DataGrail and Aura.

Gaetano’s career in marketing began somewhat unexpectedly. After grinding as music producer and songwriter in New York City, he developed a unique approach to marketing that caught the attention of a consulting company, which eventually hired him. Since then, he has worked for SEO industry icons like Mike King (founder of iPullRank) and Pipedrive, a sales CRM software company.

Gaetano is well known for his accomplishments as the Director of Demand Generation at Nextiva, a cloud communications company, which grew from $70M to over $200M in revenue during his time there.

He also scaled cybersecurity company Aura from 0 to over 200,000 monthly website visitors during his tenure as the VP of growth.

One of his most notable career achievements was serving as the VP of Marketing at Sales Hacker, a leading B2B sales community, before it was acquired by Outreach.io. In this role, he was instrumental in driving growth and expanding the company’s reach.

Gaetano’s expertise in demand generation has led him to be featured in various publications, including Harvard Business Review, where he has shared his insights on the future of work and the importance of building strong relationships with customers. He has also been recognized for his work in the industry, being named as one of the top 100 leaders to work for by Glassdoor.

Gaetano attributes his New York City upbringing as an influential element to his success:

“I’m an Italian from the Bronx, New York ― one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the world. My family came here with nothing. It helped me build work ethic, character, respect for others, and a strong sense of self-awareness.”

At the tender age of 6 years old, Gaetano recorded “O Paese Di O’Sole”, his first time ever being in the studio.

“World music has been my primary influence. When I was a kid, I’d listen to the Italian classics. You know, those old-school Napoletano songs with tons of heartache and pain behind them.”

Gaetano recently payed homage to his roots in a rendition of the Italian classic, “Brucia La Terra”

Another major influence in Gaetano’s life was his grandmother, Luisa. She passed away in 2015 after a 20+ year battle with cancer; despite such a devastating loss, a beautiful tribute song, “Angel Back”, was born in her memory.

In 2020, Gaetano relocated to Miami, FL and released, “I Gave You Love” featuring grammy award winning producer and songwriter, K-Quick.
