Commercial leadership for technology businesses

Got the technology.
Need the right commercial strategy?

I help technology businesses find the right opportunities, sharpen how they sell, improve their commercial processes, automate where it makes sense, and make things work better to win more business.

25+ years across technology, software, product, sales, consulting, AI automation and delivery.

How I help

Do you want to grow your technology company?

I work with technology founders, CEOs, leadership teams and investors to turn technology, opportunity and ambition into commercial growth.

I specialise in helping technology companies work better, find the right opportunities and win more business, while building and leading the teams and processes needed to grow.

I’ve also been accountable for the outcome: deciding where to focus, what to sell, who to sell it to, how to win customers and what needs to change as the business grows.

I can work with you on a fractional, interim or part-time basis, depending on what you need.

Why me

I've worked across the entire technology-to-customer journey.

Not one discipline looking at the rest from the outside. That breadth is why the conversation works at leadership level.

Commercial leadership when you need it.

The value of that breadth isn't simply experience. It is the commercial wisdom that comes from having seen what works, what doesn't, and how the different parts of a technology business connect.

I can work across the commercial questions that sit between technology, customers and growth - where to focus, how to position the proposition, how to go to market and how to build the sales and commercial capability to win.

My work spans proposition and positioning, business development, technology sales, commercial transformation and AI commercialisation. I can get involved as a fractional or interim commercial leader, including at CRO or Commercial Director level, when a business needs senior commercial experience without making a permanent appointment.
