Trusted By

CEOs and business leaders engage me when they need clarity and certainty about their sales function's capability and direction. Whether you're addressing current challenges or preparing for the next stage of growth, the common thread is this: you need evidence-based answers, not guesswork.

What's Your Priority?

Fix & Optimise

  • Revenue targets are consistently missed despite effort and investment
  • Sales team turnover is creating instability and knowledge loss
  • Post-investment assessment is needed to validate or redirect commercial strategy
  • An "accidental" sales leader needs support to formalise and professionalise the function
  • Leadership transitions create uncertainty about commercial direction

Scale & Grow

  • Significant sales hiring needs or team restructuring decisions loom
  • Preparing an Information Memorandum for investment requires credible sales function appraisal
  • Value creation opportunities need identification and scoping
  • Growth initiatives (new markets, products, or channels) demand sales capability assessment
  • Sales management or leadership hiring decisions require clarity on what's actually needed

Whether fixing or scaling, the question is the same: do you want to know what's really holding performance back, and what it will take to unlock it?

How I Help

Clarity. Structure. Growth.

Through assessment, coaching, consulting and fractional leadership, I work with you to transform underperforming sales functions into scalable growth engines.

I specialise in complex, consultative sales environments (whether B2B or B2C) where success depends on relationship building, multi-stakeholder engagement, and strategic selling. If your sales process is measured in weeks or months rather than minutes, and requires genuine expertise rather than transaction volume, we should talk.
