About

I'm a senior B2B SaaS marketing leader focused on helping high-growth software companies turn early traction into predictable, scalable revenue. Over the past 12+ years, I've led global marketing teams across EMEA and North America, partnering closely with product and sales to align product-led growth with enterprise GTM. I specialize in turning fragmented activity into unified go-to-market systems that consistently create pipeline and revenue. I build marketing organizations from the ground up, growing teams from a few early hires to multi-layered teams of 25 while professionalizing processes, structure, and execution. I'm most effective in companies scaling from early-stage momentum into structured, multi-team growth – typically in the $10M to $50M ARR range. My passion is helping SaaS organizations move from founder-led experimentation to repeatable, team-led growth – where marketing becomes a core driver of momentum. Outside of my day-to-day work, I regularly speak at industry events, and I'm the author of Brand Primacy: How Google Made Companies the Kings of Content. If you're building a B2B SaaS company that needs to scale with clarity, alignment, and focus – I'd love to talk.
