MAVRCK Welcomes Brian Lindauer and Liz Gottbrecht to the squad
We’ve had a kickass couple of weeks at Mavrck. Not only did we announce the launch of Instagram on our Influencer Activation Engine (details here), we’ve also added two new faces to our team: Brian Lindauer joins as the new Vice President of Engineering and Liz Gottbrecht joins as the new Director of Marketing.
Brian Lindauer, VP of Engineering
Brian Lindauer joins the company as its new VP of engineering to accelerate the development of Mavrck’s leading influencer marketing software. Brian Lindauer comes with a wealth of experience within the industry having spent 10 years at Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC), where he served in a number of product leadership roles. During his last years at PTC, Brian served as the senior vice president of product development in PTC’s Service Lifecycle Management business unit.
As VP of engineering at Mavrck, Brian will oversee development and testing processes and closely manage the engineering team to ensure quality product design and timely new features. Brian comments, “I couldn’t be more excited to join the Mavrck team. It’s not often that you see such a combination of vision, energy, and opportunity. Mavrck is on a course to significantly evolve the way that brands engage with their customers.”
Liz Gottbrecht, Director of Marketing
Please join us in officially welcoming Liz Gottbrecht to the squad as the new Director of Marketing. Liz joins with a great deal of experience within her previous role as Marketing Director at Streetwise Media. While at Streetwise, she drove brand marketing and client services for digital media properties BostInno, DC Inno and Chicago Inno, and lead the launch of the company’s in-house creative agency, Streetwise Studio.
As Director of Marketing, Liz will plan and implement marketing programs aligned with sales and product development, both short and long range, targeted toward existing and new markets. Liz comments, “I’m proud to join this amazing team that I’ve watched grow from Boston startup to ad industry game-changer, and to have this opportunity to tell our story. It’s going to be a thrilling ride, and to quote Top Gun – I’m excited to be here with the best of the best.”
Lyle Stevens, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Mavrck, said, “I’m very excited to have Brian and Liz on the squad! Their fresh perspective and valuable experience will take our Engineering and Marketing teams to the next level and accelerate all areas of the company. It’s been humbling to watch Mavrck grow from four Northeastern grads working in a Cambridge apartment to an impressive team of nearly 30 curious hustlers. We’re definitely going to need a bigger lunch table.”
