VP, Marketing

Chelsea leads marketing at Propelr, translating the mechanics of integrated payments into language software teams can act on.

Summary of expertise at Propelr

Chelsea leads marketing at Propelr, where she's responsible for how the company shows up to ISV partners, software platforms, and the merchants they serve. Her work sits close to the product: campaigns, content, and positioning are built alongside the sales and partnerships teams so that what a partner reads before signing matches what they experience after.

"To keep it short: everything. I absolutely love our collective mindset, centered on working together to build something from the ground up."

She's especially focused on making integrated payments legible — turning residuals, underwriting, and revenue share into something a software founder can weigh without a translator. That instinct for building things together is what drew her to Propelr in the first place.
