Introduction
Pick up the phone — it’s still your key to success. I help B2B companies unlock revenue growth through strategic sales leadership, pricing innovation, and team transformation. As a fractional VP Sales / CRO, I partner with SaaS and tech‑driven organizations to build scalable outbound engines, align pricing with value, and coach teams toward high‑impact execution. My approach blends operational rigor with behavioral insight because performance isn’t just about numbers, it’s about people. With 15+ years of experience driving revenue, owning P&L, and leading cross‑functional teams, I operate at the intersection of strategy, execution, and organizational design. I’ve scaled commercial organizations across SMB, Mid‑Market, and Enterprise segments, particularly in high‑growth SaaS environments (FinTech, HRTech) with short‑cycle, high‑velocity sales motions. I bring deep expertise engaging with complex ICPs: CFOs, Finance Directors, Chartered Accountants, HR Directors, Comp & Ben leaders and aligning Product, Marketing, and Revenue Operations around their strategic priorities. I’ve built full revenue engines: - Full‑stack Inbound teams delivering predictable pipeline and conversion, - Specialized Outbound teams (BDR, SDR, AEs) optimized for segmentation and velocity, - Key Account Management teams focused on expansion and retention. My leadership is grounded in data‑informed decisions, strong P&L ownership, and the ability to turn strategy into actionable, repeatable execution. I’ve repeatedly scaled teams and revenue (Qonto: 0→25 Outbound FTEs; Spendesk: 3.5× in 15 months), accelerated ARR, improved unit economics, and built robust GTM foundations. I thrive where growth, transformation, and operational excellence meet. My strength lies in building revenue organizations that are scalable, predictable, and aligned while developing leaders capable of sustaining performance over time. I naturally operate at a VP Sales level and follow a clear CRO trajectory. Core principles: - People First, Always - Value‑Led Pricing - Performance Culture with Heart - Strategic Storytelling - Data‑Informed Decisions - Coaching that Drives Change
