About

AI doesn't have to be a big bet. The commerce businesses getting results started small: one use case, one team, one focused outcome. The leaders doing this aren't waiting on an 18-month project. Commercial, ops, and IT at the table together, moving fast on the workflows that shift the P&L: more output from the same team, without adding headcount. That's what we help build at Allexive (an Overdose Digital company). Book a 30-min call if you want to see what AI can do for your business: https://calendar.app.google/FvdFo3XZy84peasU9 👉 I also run The AI Corner, NZ's most-read AI newsletter and podcast. 6,000+ readers. Because AI moves fast, and most businesses need someone to make sense of it: https://theaicorner.co.nz/ --------------------------------------------- Experience: • Led commercial and marketing growth across North America, Europe, the UK, and ANZ at Salesforce, Traction on Demand, Passionfruit, and Fonterra. • Drove commercial growth across Mars, PepsiCo, AB InBev, Shopify, Cisco, SurveyMonkey, Cloudflare, Empire Today, Fonterra, and Monash University. • Spearheaded Passionfruit’s enterprise growth across North America, helping build the credibility behind its £9M Series A in July 2024.
