Fline rents connected breathalyser terminals that positively influence behavior and collect data — Their clients are public institutions, Insurance companies, car manufacturers. When I joined in June 2025, it sold them as rented hardware. It now sells service and data. Founder-led sales, 12 countries, 9 people, a proven product and no commercial system underneath it yet — the stage most companies reach before someone builds one. What I built: - Repositioned the offering around three value dimensions — prevention, media visibility, behavioural data. One deployment now draws on CSR, marketing and strategy budgets combined, instead of the prevention budget alone. The service line is deployed and selling; the data line is launched. Global and sales playbook - Rebuilt the pipeline on MEDDIC, scored out of 30, with probability bands, daily (15min), weekly, bi-monthly deal reviews and quarterly business reviews. - Created outbound from zero — SDR hired, trained and ramped; sequencing built on Clay and Lemlist over Odoo. - Structured the team — SDR, AE and AM, with written scopes, a pricing gate and handover of account ownership. Where it stands: → €600K in 2024, €1.2M 2025, €1.15M signed in H1 2026 alone → €600K already signed for the following year, multi-year contracts included → Core segment deal size: €16-20K → €37K → Forecast accurate to ± 15% → 14 qualified meetings by the second month of outbound I worked inside Fline: three days a week, then full-time at the founder's request. The mandate was to make the role internal again — it is.

PurpleShares acquires profitable SMEs and transitions them to employee ownership. Not a fund: a succession model. Build the commercial function from zero. CRM architecture — pipelines, stages and fields designed for a business succession cycle, not a standard sales cycle. Market segmentation — sellers, external buyers, family successions and M&A intermediaries: four populations, four triggers, four distinct approaches. Origination — around 50 meetings run across those four profiles in four months. That fieldwork is what validated the segmentation and sharpened both the pitch and the qualification criteria. A market of 700,000 European SMEs to be transferred within ten years, 60% of which fail for lack of a buyer or financing.
