For the last 18 years I’ve been leading marketing, data and SaaS businesses as both a Sales & Marketing Director and MD. Having recently started a family, I left Pearlfinders & Rainmaker in August and am looking to work with ambitious businesses on a freelance basis. Whether from a sales, marketing or operational perspective, my passion lies in helping companies to grow via smarter marketing, content and pro-active new business development.
