Hey, I’m Jean.
I'm Jean Damas, a journalism-trained content marketing leader and editorial strategist who builds the systems — contributor networks, AI-powered workflows, and search strategy — that turn content into growth for B2B SaaS companies.
A bit more about me
I started my career in journalism, reporting for the San Francisco Business Times. That training shapes how I work: evidence-based storytelling and critical thinking about how content reaches and influences audiences.
I brought that approach to Workest, the content hub from Zenefits (now TriNet), growing our audience and building an editorial voice trusted by HR leaders. Most recently, I led content for The Intake, Tebra's editorial platform for independent physicians and medical billers — building a freelance contributor network and turning organic content into a high-growth lever.
Today, that means pairing sharp editorial judgment with real fluency in how content gets discovered: SEO, AI search, and the workflows behind both.
