My competitive edge

Connecting marketing and sales teams to boost business success

Based on my own sales leadership experience, I build practical marketing programs that align with sales efforts, evidenced by agreed KPIs that resonate within and outside of Marketing.

About me
I have worked with B2B businesses across financial services, communications technology and fintech to help them scale and attack new markets.

At BT Business, I developed a new, award-winning TV campaign, as part of the launch of BT Business Plan, which repositioned BT Business as a value brand and achieved 10% increase in acquisition.

At Arkadin, I led a global re-brand across 35 countries which boosted sales and led to the successful acquisition by NTT Communications. I also created an award-winning digital customer adoption program which generated €4m incremental revenue.

At Cirrus Connects, I set up a highly successful partner marketing program which generated a pipeline worth £1.5m in year one, winning Gamma Telecom as a beacon partner.
Fun facts
On the weekends, you can find me on the golf course, or pitch side watching cricket or lacrosse.  I’m also a NED on the England Lacrosse board, currently involved in preparing for the LA 2028 Olympics.

I love Italian culture and travelling off grid around Italy there are always new places to explore – and new wines to sample!
