Commercial Impact. Fractional Cost.
Board-level commercial and marketing leadership. Without the full-time overhead.
Two PE exits. 15 years at board level. Now working with the SMEs and PE-backed businesses that need it most.
Revenue has stalled, or the next stage of growth needs a level of commercial or marketing leadership that's hard to justify at full-time cost. A permanent CCO or CMO at board level costs £150k+. Most businesses at the £5m–£50m mark aren't ready for that, but they need the thinking, the accountability and the execution that comes with it.
That's exactly what I do. Embedded, board-level commercial and marketing leadership, structured around your budget and your stage of growth.
Most growing businesses hit the same wall.
What I Do
Growth Strategy
If your pipeline has stalled, your sales and marketing teams aren't aligned, or you're not sure why growth has plateaued, this is where I start. I embed directly into your business to drive the commercial agenda, define the strategy, and execute it.
Marketing Strategy
When your brand, messaging or positioning isn't landing, or your marketing spend isn't converting to pipeline, I help you fix the fundamentals. Proposition clarity, brand alignment and demand generation that actually works.
Board Advisory & NED:
I’m an independent, commercially-minded voice around your board table. Particularly useful when you're approaching a PE exit or sale, entering a new market, or need someone to ask the questions the exec team aren't asking each other.
Exec Mentoring:
For high-potentials who want to operate at a higher level. I've built, led and turned around commercial teams at board level. I help ambitious leaders do it faster and with more confidence.
What does good commercial leadership deliver?
I bring commercial clarity, strategic planning, team alignment, and consistent execution to every business I work with. The results?

Whether you need a fractional CCO for a few days a week, a fractional CMO for a few days a month or a NED voice at board level, the first step is a conversation. No hard sell. Just an honest discussion about what's getting in the way of your growth, and whether I can help.
