This week’s member of the week is Courtney Librizzi Marline, VP of Marketing at Kognity. Courtney has been bringing her SaaSy energy to the community since the very beginning! She joined us for our first SaaSiest event back in 2021 and has since taken the stage as a speaker at SaaSiest 2022, SaaSiest Digital 2023, and SaaSiest 2025. On top of that, she’s joined the SaaSiest Executive Network in 2026. Safe to say, Courtney knows a thing or two about sharing knowledge and making the SaaSiest community even more SaaSy 🤩
We asked Courtney a couple of personal questions; see her answers below:
🧩 Tell us something about yourself that we wouldn’t find on your LinkedIn profile
“Before working in edtech, some of my favorite jobs were working as a barista, zip-lining instructor, and clown (yep, really). If I ruled the world, I’d make everyone work a customer service/hospitality role at least once in their life.”
💼 What’s the best part of your job?
“Meeting students and teachers all over the world and understanding their local contexts, and seeing how we’re actually helping to improve learning. I’ve had the pleasure of traveling to schools in over 20 countries across every continent, and each trip leaves me feeling incredibly inspired.”
🤝 What does it mean for you to be part of the SaaSiest Community?
“I am truly so grateful to be part of this community. As someone from the US, my network of local mentors and peers outside of my company was, well, zero. Then I got to grow professionally through the conferences and exec network events, and it was an absolute joy speaking at some of the SaaSiest conferences over the years. I’ve made friends, reconnected with old colleagues, and found mentorship and support, especially in my recent transition from CS to Marketing. I can only hope that I have given a fraction of the value back compared to what I have gained.”
Thanks, Courtney, for being part of the SaaSiest Community 🩷
