About

I reveal why people buy – and turn that insight into durable Product Marketing foundations, sharper GTM systems, and more human, credible storytelling. Between San Francisco and London, I’ve spent the last 14 years building and retrofitting Product Marketing and GTM at critical inflection points: early traction, new products, categories, and markets, and post-PMF scale. I specialise in distilling something real and memorable out of messy complexity – aligning tech, commercial, and executive teams around who they’re for, why they win, and how they grow. I’ve led Product Marketing and GTM at companies including Deliveroo and Ravio – repeatedly taking products from early traction to meaningful scale, navigating hypergrowth, category repositioning, and the shift from sales-led to PLG and community-led motions. Highlights include launching Deliveroo’s global ads platform from zero (driving 1M+ incremental orders in 12 months with no marketing budget), and at Ravio, helping modernise a traditionally sales-led category by installing customer-led PMM foundations – with organic inbound now driving ~70% of pipeline, alongside a community-led growth engine that’s become one of the most efficient acquisition channels. What I do best: - Founding and retrofitting PMM functions from early-stage through global scale - Designing and scaling GTM systems across 0 → 1 launches and post-PMF growth - Positioning, messaging, and narrative design for complex B2B, SaaS I’m the co-founder of The GTM Playbook, a practical course for PMMs and GTM leaders, and I advise founders and GTM operators across the Sequoia, Crane, Seedcamp, and Antler ecosystems. If you’re scaling fast and feel like your story, systems, or PMM foundations haven’t quite caught up – happy to be a sounding board. Let’s chat → https://tidycal.com/carney/discovery-call
