About
I build growth engines for complex products. Over the past 13 years, I’ve led marketing, GTM and commercial strategy across AI, SaaS and global marketplace businesses, including Google, Uber, Ford and enterprise technology platforms. I work at the intersection of product, marketing and revenue, translating complex platforms into clear narratives, scalable systems and measurable business outcomes. I specialise in scaling adoption, improving sales effectiveness and modernising GTM through AI-enabled workflows and sharper market positioning. I’m most effective in high-complexity environments where the stakes are real and the path to growth isn’t obvious.
