LOS ANGELES, CA – September 22, 2020 In joining Chief Outsiders as its latest fractional Chief Marketing Officer, John Rindlaub Jr. plans to bring his expansive, growth mindset—along with winning strategiesto help mid-sized businesses disrupt their marketplace and gain sizable share.

Rindlaub joins Chief Outsiders – the nation’s pre-eminent group of CMOs – at a time when demand for fractional executive insights is at an all-time high.

With a deep well of experiences in healthcare (Express Scripts, Health Net, Centene); consumer/ecommerce (Pepsi, J &J, Barnes &Noble); and financial services (Citi and Fleet Banks), Rindlaub has notched more than 30 years of hands-on marketing experience in working with CEOs to develop growth strategies founded on breakthrough, data-driven customer insights. Rindlaub is also noted for inspiring teams to be and do their best. 

His brand-building and performance marketing skills helped power more than $9 billion in revenue growth while serving as VP of Marketing and Consumer Experience at Centene Corporation, overseeing go-to-market strategies for its Medicare Advantage business. In a similar level of outsized success, Rindlaub helped boost sales by 5X – from $61 million to $360 million – during the early days of Barnes & Noble’s eCommerce solution, as they were seeking to gravitate from being an exclusive bricks-and-mortar bookseller.

“John is noted for taking on the toughest growth challenges and ensuring that companies gain a data-based plan that is poised for delivering results,” said Karen Hayward, Managing Partner of Chief Outsiders’ West team. “John is a recognized expert in business planning for profitable growth, innovation, customer acquisition and customer experience."
