About

I love (and also very much hate) sales. (Only salespeople will understand that one.) It's 2016, and I'm a fresh faced SDR trying to hit target. I'm struggling, quickly realising that outbound sales is just about the hardest job in the world. My natural skills: Creativity, humour, storytelling didn't feel like they "belonged" in the corporate world. But I didn't quit. I decided to make a bold move. I decided to... be myself. I've spent the last 10 years crafting the art of authentic selling. I was named one of top SDRs in the country, and now I’m one of the most recognised bald sales influencers in EMEA. My personal brand has one simple mission: To make sales fun. I coach other sellers on how to leverage social media, build their personal brand, and win (without losing who they are!) After 10 years in B2B sales, here’s what I believe: • A strong personal brand is non-negotiable in 2026 • Being yourself is your greatest sales advantage • Coaching accelerates growth like nothing else • Sales can (and should) be fun Follow me for funny, real content about sales, coaching, and building a brand that actually works. Let’s make selling more human. Let’s make sales fun.👊
