Hi hello everyone! So good to be here I'm Darren 🙂
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Company / Role: Cremorne Digital Hub (CDH), Community and Partnerships Coordinator. I run membership sales for our Clubhouse program, program events, and build partnerships with investors and startup ecosystem orgs.
Background: I took a winding route here: hospitality, high-volume real estate sales, then high-ticket EdTech sales at HEX before moving into community building. Instincts for people plus a habit of connecting is. I also MC corporate, tech and wedding events.
Clay Goals: Early days with Clay, but I do have experience with Firmable and a smattering of other CRMs. I want to enrich and score our membership pipeline so I spend time on the right founders, and match founders to the right investors from our investor database using real data instead of memory.
Fun Facts: I'm bilingual in English and Cantonese, and I have MC'd weddings and tech launches in the same month. I'm also crazy nervous right before, but when you're in it, it's the best.
Burning question: Has anyone used Clay for community or event-led growth rather than outbound sales? I'd like to see how you handle enrichment for inbound sign-ups and event attendee lists.
Toodaloo!
