Approach

Building markets in the UK, Nordics, Benelux, Middle East & Africa.

Most of my career has been spent before product-market fit was obvious — establishing early reference customers, building repeatable GTM motions, and scaling them into mature, multi-region enterprise businesses.

01

Establish

First commercial hire in a new region. Build conviction with strategic enterprise accounts. Develop early proof points.

02

Repeat

Translate early wins into a defensible GTM motion. Multi-thread complex procurement, security and IT. Open adjacent regions with the same playbook.

03

Scale

Operate inside high-complexity environments: multiple acquisitions, long cycles, evolving product. Hold continuity of revenue and relationships.

Case study

Continuity

Context

First UK hire. No local base, no brand, no pipeline. Product ahead of buyer thinking.

Build

Established initial strategic enterprise customers across UK retail and financial services. Defined references, pricing, and GTM motion.

Expansion

Scaled UK into the company's most significant European market. Led expansion into Nordics, Benelux, Middle East and Africa.

Scale through complexity

Maintained performance through two acquisitions (Dynamic Yield → McDonald’s → Mastercard) across shifting product, pricing and org environments.

Background

Over a decade in enterprise SaaS, eight of them in AI.
