About

Hey there 👋🏽 Thanks for visiting my LinkedIn profile, here's a bit about me. I've got 10+ years of experience working across every stage of startup. My first job had me join as employee #1 in a Seed stage startup, wearing every hat that didn't involve actually writing code. I built out our GTM strategy and scaled the business to the first 200 customers and from $0-5M in revenue and leaving pre-IPO. From here I've worked in Series A, B, C, D and pre-IPO startups establishing Account Management and Customer Success organisations from the ground up and partnering closely with product and engineering teams to drive product led growth. I've supported these companies scale from $1-10M and $10-$50M and all the way through to a successful exit (acquisition) and supporting the integration process thereafter. I spent ~5 years in London, immersing myself in a mature technology ecosystem and met incredible founders, operators and VCs along the way and working at true scale in a large market. It's here that I founded London Startup Club and started my own newsletter 'This Week in London Startups' which I ran for 2 years growing it to over 5,000 subscribers. Now I'm back home in Australia with AWS taking that international experience working from Seed to Exit and supporting Australian SaaS companies build and scale globally. After a short break from writing I've also started another newsletter 'This Week in Australian Startups', a weekly roundup of the latest news in the Australian and startup ecosystem with my two cents. I'm open to advisory and consulting engagement if you're looking for support across your Account Management, Sales or Customer Success functions. Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.
