With over 20 years experience in both Scale Up and Large Global Corporates, I have a wealth of sales leadership and change management experience in disruptive and changing environments. My specialty is Cloud & Business Strategy, Sales Management and Operations, especially in fast growth SaaS companies, and in developing channel models. I have worked in Australia, Latin America, Asia and Europe – so can also help companies looking to grow internationally or expand their presence in new markets.

If you are looking for specialist skills on an interim or project basis to help land key people, sales, business and culture initiatives in your organsation, reach out and let’s discuss your project to see if I would be a good fit.
