Koka Sexton — I create content and turn LinkedIn engagement into pipeline | #SocialSelling Ex-LinkedIn

About Koka

I’ve always been drawn to building things that last—teams, systems, and strategies that create real business momentum. Over the years, I’ve led marketing organizations through transformation and growth, from startups finding their first customers to global brands reaching millions. What drives me is the challenge of connecting strategy to outcomes. At LinkedIn, I helped scale Sales Navigator into a $1B+ business line, supporting go-to-market, speaking events, media, community and content initiatives that turned awareness into adoption. At Slack, I developed lifecycle and thought leadership programs. At Spear Marketing Group, I focused on making marketing measurable—introducing reporting frameworks, data-driven campaign models, and scalable demand programs that increased MQLs and sustained a 70% client retention rate. Along the way, I’ve built AI-driven systems, brand guidelines, and community platforms that help companies move faster and smarter. My leadership philosophy is rooted in structure and adaptability—something I credit to my years in the U.S. Army. I believe great marketing teams thrive when they have clear goals, trust in their process, and the freedom to innovate. Today, I help organizations align marketing with revenue, blending creativity with analytics to drive sustainable growth. I’m at my best when turning vision into execution—and helping teams see how their work directly impacts the business.
