Josh Baez

Sr. Manager, Demand GenerationNetLine

Josh Baez is a buyer-obsessed B2B marketing leader with over a decade of experience driving demand, pipeline, and revenue through modern, insight-led marketing. Known for his creative problem-solving and strategic mindset, Josh specializes in demand generation, ABM, and content strategy, helping brands translate audience understanding into growth that actually moves the business.

At the core of his work is a simple belief: the best marketing isn’t about leads. It’s about understanding what buyers truly care about. Josh thrives at the intersection of creativity and data, building experiences that feel relevant, memorable, and valuable at every touchpoint. His work has helped brands elevate positioning, strengthen customer relationships, and move beyond reporting metrics to delivering real business outcomes.

Based in Seattle, WA, Josh brings high energy and a healthy challenge-the-status-quo mentality to everything he does, whether he’s building full-funnel demand programs, aligning sales and marketing, or rethinking how B2B brands engage modern buyers. A natural storyteller, he brings big ideas (and big laughs) to every conversation—often with plenty of hand gestures.

Outside of work, Josh can be found obsessing over buyer psychology, passionately defending why B2B doesn’t have to be boring, debating Survivor strategy like he’s heading to Final Tribal Council, or tending to his ever-growing houseplant collection—because, like B2B marketing, being a plant dad is serious business.
