Family technology veteran Carrie Cronkey to
continue strong momentum for leading family safety service through
product marketing and brand storytelling
Life360, the leading safety and coordination service for
families across the globe, today announced marketing leader Carrie
Cronkey as its first-ever chief marketing officer. As Life360’s
CMO, Cronkey will focus on ramping up the company’s overall product
marketing strategy in addition to sharpening and amplifying the
brand story.
Cronkey’s CMO hire comes on the heels of a milestone quarter for
the company -- surpassing one million paying members, crossing a
valuation of $1 billion, and deepening its foothold in the family
safety space through its acquisition of Jiobit to offer protection
for children under ten, small pets, and seniors.
“Carrie’s expertise hits the sweet spot of subscription
services, parenting products and user-focused products,” said Chris
Hulls, founder and CEO of Life360. “With our steady momentum in the
market, we’re investing in an area that will elevate Life360 to the
next level with ramped up marketing, and I’m confident that Carrie
will lead us there.”
Throughout her career, Cronkey has passionately told stories
about consumer subscription companies that she relates to as a mom
and as an executive. Prior to joining Life360, she served as CMO of
the leading family care platform, Care.com, where she oversaw all
marketing functions across the organization and led the company
through its latest rebrand campaign, Care for All You Love. After
her first consumer technology role at Yahoo, Cronkey held marketing
leadership positions with personal finance platform Mint.com
through its acquisition with Intuit, and with parenthood e-commerce
platform, Citrus Lane.
“As a busy mom of three and an avid Life360 member, I see
first-hand why the service is so valuable for families across
various life stages,” said Cronkey. “I’ve heard so many
testimonials from my personal network of parents -- from keeping
their teens safe behind the wheel to coordinating busy family
schedules -- and I’m excited to lead the brand’s storytelling to
reach today’s families and enable them to live more
independently.”
Carrie holds an M.B.A. from Columbia University, where she was
inducted to Beta Gamma Sigma, and received a B.A. in Economics, cum
laude, from Duke University. Carrie resides in Hudson, Ohio with
her husband and three young children.
