Bio

I am a data-driven, dynamic, personable (and hopefully fun!) leader, with 17 years of proven success in leading business and sales teams within fast-growth tech companies. I specialise in building and evolving sales teams globally. I have a great commercial acumen to match my operational expertise and industry knowledge across the full range of verticals, having spent a lot of time building successful Private and Public sector growth strategies. I am also a Sales expert; specialising in Enterprise and MM. I spend a great deal of my time travelling and presenting within organisations, and enjoy coaching my team on sales strategies, tactics and models. I have consistently developed and maintained high performing, successful sales teams, and grown both revenue and profit margin substantially every year within the teams I have led. I have developed and implemented new processes, sales methodologies and training. I am a whiteboard and agile expert, and manage my teams with the ethos of visibility, trust and accountability - I encourage debate. I am technically sound and have frequently contributed to CX, EX and CRM debates and webinars online. I was voted in the Top 10 Sales Leaders in 2020 and 2021, and was voted and awarded #1 CX Star 2021 for my activity and contribution to the Customer Experience community.
