Ken Yanhs

Marketing leader with extensive experience driving demand generation, product marketing, and brand building across global enterprises and high-growth SaaS companies. I’ve built and scaled cross-functional marketing teams at organizations such as LEGO, Bain & Company, and Education First (EF), and led marketing through rapid growth stages from Series A to C at companies including Zoovu, IntelyCare, and Zappi. I’m passionate about building data-driven marketing organizations that align closely with product and revenue teams to create durable, predictable growth. Currently serving as Chief Marketing Officer at element451, where I’m helping scale a modern, AI-powered marketing engine at a pivotal moment for higher education. element451 has experienced strong growth in recent years, partnering with a rapidly expanding number of colleges and universities and becoming a critical platform across enrollment, engagement, and student success. Backed by PSG, the company is entering its next phase of growth focused on innovation, scale, and category leadership in edtech. Proud of my career journey — but most proud of raising three young adults who are thriving in high school and college.
