About

Strategic B2B Marketing Leader with deep experience in driving marketing performance and commercial impact across professional services and B2B organisations. I specialise in aligning marketing with business growth priorities — from defining operating models and leading change programmes, to building high-performing teams and creating client-centric strategies that fuel growth. While Account-Based Marketing (ABM) and Sales Enablement remain core passions, I bring a broader lens to transformation — having worked with CMOs and senior leaders to modernise marketing functions, scale global programmes, and embed measurable, data-driven approaches. I’m equally energised by the challenge of helping organisations — from global firms to ambitious start-ups — sharpen their propositions, accelerate go-to-market plans, and elevate their brand in crowded markets.
