Daniel Tomcala Professional Overview:

Daniel Tomcala is a fractional CMO for B2B SaaS and tech companies, based in Bratislava, Slovakia, working with clients across Europe and the US. He brings 20 years in B2B tech, including 10 years in marketing leadership, spanning early-stage startups, global scale-ups, and one of the world's largest software companies.

His track record includes leading marketing at Minit through its acquisition by Microsoft, the largest tech exit in Slovakia's history. He then joined Microsoft as Head of Marketing and Product Marketing Manager, launching Power Automate Process Mining, a product announced by CEO Satya Nadella at Microsoft Inspire. He spent 11 years at Epicor Software across sales development, field marketing, demand generation, and global digital campaigns, and most recently led marketing at TurnKey Lender, a fintech SaaS company, where he drove over 90% of qualified pipeline, including deals with Tier 1 US banks.

Across these engagements, his work has delivered: 80%+ of marketing-attributed net new revenue at a Series A startup through focused inbound strategy; $5M+ in enterprise pipeline built in the US banking sector through lean, AI-enabled demand generation; a 37% improvement in lead-to-SQL conversion through tighter sales alignment; 90%+ of qualified pipeline generated by marketing at a Series B startup; a doubling of organic website traffic year-over-year through technical and off-site SEO; and a 40% year-over-year improvement in marketing ROI through channel efficiency gains.

Daniel operates as a hands-on senior generalist rather than a hands-off strategist, covering GTM strategy, demand generation, positioning and messaging, AI enablement, marketing and revenue operations, and embedded team leadership, bringing in specialists only where the work demands it. He works fluently in Slovak and English, and has hands-on experience with the modern GTM stack, including Salesforce, HubSpot, Amplemarket, Chili Piper, Google Ads, Ahrefs, and Apollo.io.

He currently also serves as a pro bono strategic marketing advisor to Informatika 2.0, a non-profit.

📜 Previous notable roles

Years of experience: 20 years in B2B tech, 10 years in marketing leadership.

Notable roles:

Head of Marketing / Product Marketing Manager, Microsoft (2022–2024) — Launched Power Automate Process Mining, a product announced by CEO Satya Nadella at Microsoft Inspire.
Head of Marketing, Minit (2019–2022) — Led marketing through Minit's acquisition by Microsoft, the largest tech exit in Slovakia's history.
Marketing roles, Epicor Software (2007–2018) — 11 years across sales development, field marketing, demand generation, and global digital campaigns.
Head of Marketing, TurnKey Lender (2024–2026) — Drove over 90% of qualified pipeline, including deals with Tier 1 US banks.

Brief statement:
The two most important roles are Minit and Microsoft. At Minit, I built the demand-generation engine that consistently delivered over 80% of qualified sales pipeline, and was one of two people chosen by the founder to keep the business running through its acquisition by Microsoft, the biggest tech exit in Slovakia's history. That acquisition carried me into Microsoft itself as Head of Marketing and Product Marketing Manager, where I launched Power Automate Process Mining, a product Satya Nadella announced on stage at Microsoft Inspire. Together, those two roles are the clearest proof point I have: taking a company through an acquisition by one of the world's largest tech companies, then operating inside that company at the product-marketing level.
