MOST B2B GROWTH PROBLEMS AREN’T MARKETING PROBLEMS.
THEY’RE SYSTEM PROBLEMS.

How I Think About B2B Growth in Technical Markets
Why this matters
The challenge is rarely the product.
The challenge is making engineering expertise visible, accessible, and actionable for customers.
As AI changes how buyers discover and evaluate solutions, companies need stronger systems connecting product knowledge, customer insight, and commercial execution.
This framework is built around a simple belief:
Sustainable growth happens when engineering, product marketing, and go-to-market systems work together.
Visible or Invisible
How Industrial B2B Companies Win Buyers When AI Builds the Shortlist
Engineers and procurement teams now research, compare, and shortlist suppliers long before they contact anyone. Built on two decades of engineering and go-to-market leadership and more than 145 conversations with industry leaders, this book gives commercial, marketing, and GTM leaders a practical operating system for staying visible at the moment the shortlist forms.
AI helps prepare. People help customers decide.

Preference Forms Before Sales Is Invited
AI is changing when technical buyers form preferences. Sales still matters, but buyers may compare, shortlist, and trust suppliers before the first conversation.
The Focus Problem: Why Electronics B2B Companies Stall After AI
AI removed the build constraint in electronics. Now focus decides which
B2B tech companies and manufacturers turn capability into repeatable revenue and
growth.
Engineers Are Not Skipping Validation. They Are Skipping Friction.
AI is not making engineers less careful. It is helping them move faster through early research, comparison, and question-building. In technical B2B, the companies that make evaluation easier will earn trust earlier, before the first sales conversation.
A CLEAR POINT OF VIEW ON GROWTH, AI, AND EXECUTION
I approach growth from inside the system, not from the sidelines.
My work sits between engineering, product marketing, customer behavior, and go-to-market execution in complex technical markets.
I bring a master’s in mechanical engineering and years of experience across product marketing, go-to-market strategy, distribution, and technical B2B markets.
My engineering background shapes how I look at growth. I tend to see the system first: how people, processes, and information actually move together.
That is usually where the gaps show up: between functions, between handoffs, and between what the company knows and what the customer can see.
That is also how I look at AI. Not as a shortcut, but as something that only creates value when the workflow, knowledge, ownership, and human judgment around it are clear.
The writing here comes from practical work: building GTM systems, leading product marketing initiatives, working with distribution partners, hosting industry conversations, and studying how technical companies earn visibility, trust, and preference before the first sales conversation.
The goal is simple: help organizations turn technical expertise into customer value.
Get the thinking behind the work.
I write about what actually drives growth in technical markets and where execution breaks down.
Each edition explores:
- Why strong products still struggle to gain visibility
- How AI is changing discovery, evaluation, and trust before sales is involved
- What happens when engineering, product marketing, and commercial teams operate in silos
- Practical frameworks for market visibility, customer discovery, and go-to-market execution
- The decisions leaders make when resources, data, and attention are limited
This is not commentary from the sidelines.
It is based on real product marketing work, engineering-driven go-to-market systems, industry conversations, and lessons learned across electronics, semiconductors, manufacturing, and distribution.

Leadership & Management Podcast
Real Leadership and Management Lessons From the Electronics Value Chain
Real Leadership and Management Lessons From the Electronics Value Chain
Leadership in Manufacturing is a recognized podcast for leaders and managers across electronics, manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain.
The show is ranked in the Top 5% of public podcasts globally by Listen Notes and was listed #10 on Million Podcasts’ “Best 30 Podcasts for Manufacturers in the US.”
But the real value is the conversations.
Every episode shares practical leadership and management lessons from executives, directors, and rising leaders who are actively leading technical teams, serving customers, navigating change, building trust, and making decisions in complex technical environments.
This is not generic leadership advice.
It is real industry experience from people doing the work, shared to help more leaders and managers build clarity, trust, and confidence across technical teams.

Meet Sannah
I’m Sannah Vinding, an engineer and go-to-market leader focused on helping technical organizations turn engineering expertise into market visibility, customer adoption, and commercial growth.
My work sits at the intersection of engineering, product marketing, and go-to-market strategy across electronics, semiconductors, manufacturing, and complex B2B markets.
I bring a master’s in mechanical engineering and years of experience leading product marketing, technical marketing, portfolio strategy, distribution marketing, and digital growth initiatives for complex technology portfolios.
My engineering background shapes how I look at growth. I tend to see the system first: how information moves, where handoffs slow down, where customer understanding gets lost, and where stronger processes can help teams execute with more clarity.
That is also how I look at AI. Not as a shortcut, but as a way to support better research, market intelligence, content development, knowledge access, and decision-making when the workflow, ownership, and human judgment around it are clear.
I also host Leadership in Manufacturing, a recognized podcast for leaders and managers across electronics, manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain. Through real conversations with executives and industry leaders, the podcast shares practical leadership and management lessons for technical teams navigating complexity, change, and growth.
I believe sustainable growth comes from connecting engineering knowledge, customer understanding, and commercial execution through systems that scale.

Where engineering, go-to-market systems, and AI meet.
Technical B2B buyers now evaluate long before they talk to sales. They search, compare, validate, and build trust through digital signals, technical content, product data, and AI-shaped discovery.
Engineering truth needs connected go-to-market systems, clear positioning, and execution buyers can trust.
The companies that build clarity early will earn trust faster. Companies that treat go-to-market as a system will compete before the decision is already underway.
