I've spent more than two decades in commercial roles, most of it in enterprise B2B — selling complex propositions, winning new business and leading sales teams across international markets. I've carried a number myself, and I've been accountable for other people carrying theirs.
That's the difference I bring. I know what a pipeline review feels like when the numbers aren't there. I know the difference between a salesperson who needs coaching and one who's in the wrong seat. And I know how much of growth comes down to unglamorous things — qualification, focus, follow-through.
I'm strategic where it matters and hands-on everywhere else. I'd rather sit with your team, look at the real deals and work out what's actually going on than hand over a deck and disappear.
I'm also straight with people. If I don't think I'm the right person to help, I'll say so — and usually point you towards what would help instead.
I've spent my career building, leading and improving commercial teams. Now I bring that experience to businesses that need senior commercial capability without necessarily needing another permanent executive.
