Parin Mody is the Managing Partner of StratMg (StratMarketing Group), a B2B marketing agency that works exclusively with U.S. manufacturers. An engineer by training with a B.S. in Computer Science from Western Illinois University and an MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, Parin has led marketing, product, and business units across the United States, EMEA, and APAC. In 2025, The Enterprise World named him one of The Most Influential Manufacturing Leaders to Watch.
Engineering
Parin began his career at 3Com, where he worked on one of the first Voice over IP (VoIP) implementations in the United States.
Senior Product Manager
He then joined Cummins-Allison as a Senior Product Manager, building product roadmaps around customer needs and connecting engineering, marketing, and sales teams.
General Manager
At Reed Business Information, Parin advanced from Director of Business Development and Product Marketing to General Manager of the Marketing Services Division. There he repositioned the Mardev-DM2 division into a global, value-added marketing services provider, expanding its revenue streams and market share. He also holds two patents.
Parin saw that many manufacturers lacked the marketing expertise to compete in a data-driven economy. He founded StratMg in 2013 with one mission: create and save U.S. manufacturing jobs through sales growth.
Under his leadership, StratMg has helped manufacturers fill their pipelines, shorten sales cycles, and improve customer retention with marketing that is tied directly to sales results.
Parin leads StratMg alongside Co-Founder and Partner Bridgid Johnson, who heads marketing operations, including the strategy and technology behind client programs.
