Where I make a difference

Three ways to
move forward.

Growth needs the right connections, a clear commercial plan and the resources to execute it. I help bring them together.

01Strategic partnerships

Open the
right doors.

Build an ecosystem that creates real commercial opportunity, with partners who can help you reach new customers and markets.

  • Partner strategy and prioritisation
  • Alliance development and activation
  • Joint go-to-market plans
02Capital raising

Prepare for
what’s next.

Make your growth story clearer, strengthen your investor positioning and connect with relevant sources of capital.

  • Investment readiness and positioning
  • Investor introductions and engagement
  • Corporate finance and M&A advisory through RCP
03Sales & go-to-market

Turn strategy
into revenue.

Bring focus to your sales motion, sharpen your route to market and support the conversations that move opportunities forward.

  • Market focus and commercial strategy
  • Pipeline and enterprise sales leadership
  • New-market entry and execution

Experience that travels well

Built in the
real world.

Over 25 years across SaaS, technology and enterprise. From opening new regions and building sales teams to creating alliances and supporting founders through investment and M&A.

Working together

Part of your team.
Focused on your growth.

You’ve built a business with potential. Now you need experienced commercial leadership to help take it further.

I work with privately owned technology businesses that need senior expertise without a full-time executive appointment. Typically, that means two or three days a week for an agreed period, with clear priorities and hands-on involvement.

Fractional commercial leadership

Ongoing support across partnerships, sales and GTM. We agree the outcomes, scope and cadence around your business.

A focused advisory engagement

Support for a specific challenge: refining your route to market, building a partnership strategy or preparing the business for investment.

A commercial clarity session

A practical starting point to review your current position, identify opportunities and map the next steps.

Most businesses don’t need more ideas. They need the right commercial structure, and the right people to unlock it.
