Experience built with

Global B2B, SaaS, fintech and enterprise technology
01

Marketing spend is rising, but qualified pipeline is not.

02

The product is difficult to explain, and the message changes depending on who is selling it.

03

Sales and marketing cannot agree which customers or accounts matter most.

04

Campaigns are generating activity, but not enough commercial return.

05

The reporting is detailed, but leaders still cannot see what is working.

06

The business has outgrown founder-led marketing, but has not built what replaces it.

07

The marketing plan no longer matches the company stage, sales target or market.

08

The team is busy, but priorities, ownership and decision-making keep changing.

09

The business is hiring marketers before deciding what the function needs to do.

10

ABM is a target-account list, not a joined-up sales and marketing plan.

11

Technology, agencies and channels are adding cost faster than capability.

12

Good marketers are being judged inside a system that makes strong performance difficult.

01
This fits when

When marketing is not working, but the reason is unclear

Marketing Function Diagnostic

What we work through

Review the strategy, positioning, pipeline, team, budget and reporting to identify what is blocking performance.

You leave with

A clearly defined problem, priorities in order and a practical 90-day action plan.

02
This fits when

When the offer is difficult to explain or sell

Positioning & GTM Sprint

What we work through

Choose priority customers, sharpen the value proposition and align sales and marketing on how to take it to market.

You leave with

A target customer, value proposition, message hierarchy and usable go-to-market plan.

03
This fits when

When senior leadership is needed, but not a full-time hire

Fractional Marketing Leadership

What we work through

Senior ownership of the marketing plan, team, budget, reporting and sales relationship while you hire, restructure or navigate change.

You leave with

Clear decisions, an accountable plan and a team that knows what to do next.

04
This fits when

When the team no longer matches the work ahead

Build the Marketing Team

What we work through

Define what marketing needs to own, the skills missing and which roles to hire in what order.

You leave with

A team structure, role briefs, hiring sequence and 90-day onboarding priorities.

Bring the messy version.

You do not need a polished brief or a chosen service. Bring the problem as you see it; the first conversation is to work out what is happening and whether I am the right person to help.

Genesis Global: built and led across brand, demand, content, digital, field and product marketing.

Genesis Global

Built Genesis Global's first unified marketing function.

Added brand, content, digital and product marketing, then rebuilt the website, segmentation, ICP mapping, lead scoring and attribution.

Quadient

Built EMEA demand generation from scratch.

Created the SDR function, enterprise ABM programmes, campaign reporting and funnel analytics with sales.

Confirmit

Connected global campaigns to regional pipeline targets.

Ran integrated campaigns, events, webinars and partner programmes across the US, Europe, the Nordics and APAC.

I have spent more than 15 years building B2B marketing across SaaS, fintech and enterprise technology. My career has taken me from hands-on campaign delivery to global demand generation leadership and responsibility for the full marketing function as VP Marketing. I have built global teams, held full budget and ROI accountability and led work tied to pipeline, positioning and board-level growth priorities alongside CEOs, CROs and investors.

I have worked at every level of marketing, from specialist to VP, and have navigated organisational change and senior career transition myself. I know how board priorities translate into team structure, messaging, campaigns, reporting and day-to-day decisions. I make the problem clear, show the choices and set a practical next move.

Set up the prompts, templates, tools, agents, review points and output standards that turn isolated experiments into repeatable ways of working. Connect research, planning, production and quality checks so marketing teams can move faster without losing judgement, consistency or control.

Repeatable AI operating systemInputs → prompts + agents → reviewed outputs
01 / Set up the work

Give the work the right context before it starts.

Define the question, source material, audience, constraints, success criteria and decision required before a model or agent begins.

02 / Build the system

Make good work repeatable instead of rebuilding it.

Create prompt libraries, templates and structured input and output formats so the same process can be reused, improved and scaled.

03 / Orchestrate the workflow

Orchestrate agents through clear jobs, hand-offs and review points.

Connect research, synthesis, planning, production and quality checks while keeping human judgement where brand or commercial risk is highest.

01What types of businesses do you work with?

I work primarily with B2B SaaS, fintech and enterprise technology businesses that need to strengthen marketing strategy, positioning, demand, leadership or team capability.

02Do we need an existing marketing team?

No. I can help a founder-led business define what marketing needs to become, or work with an established team that needs clearer priorities, structure or leadership.

03What happens in the first conversation?

We use 30 minutes to define the problem, identify the decision that needs to be made and agree the most useful next step. You will also get a direct answer on whether I am the right person to help.

04What happens after the first conversation?

If there is a useful fit, I recommend the smallest piece of work that can move the problem forward. That may be a diagnostic, focused sprint, team plan or ongoing marketing leadership.

05What does fractional marketing leadership mean?

It means senior ownership of the marketing plan, team, budget, reporting and relationship with sales without making a full-time VP or CMO hire. It can support a period of growth, change, restructuring or recruitment.

06Can you work alongside our existing marketing leader or team?

Yes. The work can support a CEO, CRO, marketing leader or in-house team. The role, decision rights and expected outcome are made clear before the work begins.

07Can you help us decide how AI should change marketing?

Yes. I can help identify where AI can improve speed or consistency, which workflows and responsibilities need to change, and where human judgement and accountability must remain.

08How is the work priced?

Diagnostics and sprints are scoped around a defined outcome. Ongoing leadership is agreed around the time and responsibility required. Scope, timing and fee are confirmed before work starts.

09Where do you work?

I am UK-based and can work remotely with businesses and teams across the UK, Europe, the US and APAC.

No polished brief is required. Bring the problem as you see it. We will work out what is happening, which decision matters now and whether I am the right person to help.
