I’m a commercial technology growth leader with a track record of building markets, scaling enterprise revenue and turning emerging technology into commercially successful propositions.
My experience spans SaaS, cloud transformation, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, cyber security, compliance and data governance. I specialise in go-to-market strategy, enterprise sales, strategic accounts, partner ecosystems and converting complex technical capabilities into clear propositions that customers value and buy.
I have led growth across the UK, EMEA and APAC, working with software vendors, Microsoft partners, enterprise customers and public-sector organisations. My background includes Azure Marketplace commercialisation, Microsoft co-sell, ISV growth, channel development, enterprise agreements and recurring revenue.
Highlights include building international revenue operations, securing complex global enterprise agreements, launching SaaS propositions through Azure Marketplace, opening new markets and creating direct, partner-led and Microsoft-aligned routes to market. I have developed strategic relationships across government, telecoms, financial services, pharmaceutical, media, transport and local government.
I’m at my best where a business has strong technology, ambitious growth goals and an opportunity to sharpen its proposition, commercial model or route to market. I combine market creation, executive engagement, strategic selling and ecosystem development to deliver sustainable growth and customer value.
