With 9 years experience driving commercial growth across VC-backed start-ups and global brands, I'm looking to join another mission driven company in a Growth/Sales Lead function. Key interests: - Leadership position, managing team and defining overarching strategy (but with an openness to being boots on the ground and operating in a pure play Enterprise Account Exec role, if the opportunity and package is right). - Highly motivated by social impact missions. Particular interests in sustainability and crypto (currently Head of Growth for a Bitcoin start-up, and have previously have worked in the sustainability space). - Open to early stage companies (late-seed stage with proven PMF), through to established corporates. I think an ideal company is Series A stage, with equity still on the table.
CRO or senior commercial leadership roles in B2B SaaS or tech-enabled services businesses where growth has stalled or needs to accelerate, and where resetting GTM execution, team capability and revenue discipline will materially change outcomes. I’m particularly interested in transformation mandates that require cross-functional alignment across Sales, Marketing, Customer Success and Product to reset execution, build confidence in the number and unlock the next phase of growth.
My sweet spot is Sales & Growth related, typically for a business undergoing strategic change or having recently been acquired or invested in. I have previously worked for PE invested businesses so am familiar with PE stakeholder management. Suitable roles might be called VP Growth, CRO, CSO, Sales transformation, Sales or revenue enablement.
