HOW I HELP

INTEGRATED

Growth

Three things that need to work together.

Three things that need to work together.

I bring Product, Sales and Marketing together around a proposition customers understand, a go-to-market plan teams can use and marketing that creates commercial opportunities.


01

A proposition people understand

Clarify the customer problem, the product’s value and why it should be chosen.


02

A go-to-market plan teams can use

Translate the proposition into messaging, launches, sales tools and clear priorities.


03

Marketing that creates commercial opportunities

Build focused programmes that generate interest, conversations and pipeline.

WHAT I’M LIKE TO WORK WITH

Collaborative. Straightforward. Curious.

Collaborative. Straightforward. Curious.

Collaborative. Straightforward. Curious.

I ask questions, challenge assumptions when needed and try to make complicated decisions clearer. I enjoy working across teams and helping people develop confidence in their own judgement.

Outside work, I’ve hiked across North America and Alaska, taught English to children in Nepal, climbed Kilimanjaro and spent a year travelling with my wife while studying travel photography. These days, most of my spare time is spent with my family, our dog or on a bike — road, gravel or downhill.

“His impact on establishing best-in-class product-marketing processes was remarkable and widely recognised in the business. He is generous in sharing his knowledge — which enabled me to develop in my role.”
