Hard work. Real results.
Over two decades, I've seen just about every growth challenge fintech and SaaS teams face. Here are just a few highlights:
Xero – Joined as the first UK platform marketing hire, helping build the banking, payments and lending ecosystem with partnerships including Revolut, Starling and Tide. During my tenure, UK operating revenue grew from c.£20m to £50m+ and we delivered 150% of the payments revenue target. The platform business has since grown into a £200m+ annual revenue stream.
Uncapped – Doubled revenue in nine months as marketing-sourced revenue rose from c.50% to c.80% of recognised company revenue. After a planned US banking proposition was paused, I reset the ICP and GTM around lending, launched SaaS and ecommerce products, and cut CAC by 33%.
Contis – Built a new B2B demand engine, proposition and ABM approach that tripled inbound leads and sourced 88% of new B2B clients, helping double revenue from c.£15m to £30m and grow end-users from 200k to c.2m. The resulting growth helped strengthen the business ahead of its acquisition by Solaris.
Bullhorn – Built EMEA and APAC marketing from scratch, delivering 164% of the marketing-originated revenue target and doubling annual SQL volume, while hiring and managing a 20+ person team ahead of the subsequent Vista → Insight transaction.
Penfold – Shifted acquisition from B2C-led growth towards workplace, adviser and channel models, helping triple revenue in 12 months while cutting CAC by 60%.
Each milestone was earned the hard way. Through messy pivots, deep market dives, and the kind of late-night problem-solving you only get when you genuinely care about the outcome.

Working with me in practice
Every founder I work with wants the same thing: clear priorities, fast momentum, and someone senior enough to make the right decisions. Here’s how I make that happen…
Founders love my fractional model
Because even if you can't afford (or don’t need) a full-time CMO… you still need someone who thinks like one.
I work alongside you to set direction, fix bottlenecks, and focus on what really drives growth. You get senior judgement where it counts and working systems that keep running once I step back.
You don’t need a permanent hire right now. You need someone who can set a confident direction, stop time being wasted on second guesses, and deliver the highest-impact work without blowing your runway.
I step in where senior judgement matters most and leave you with systems that keep running when I step back.

How I will work with you day to day
Clarity first. Then action. Fast.
Startups need clarity, speed, and someone who can get things moving without endless debate. I work in short, focused sprints that prove what works and quietly cut what doesn’t. You’ll see progress in your tools, not in slide decks.
We start by agreeing what success actually means — revenue, pipeline, CAC, or whatever keeps you awake at night. Then I run short, high-intensity cycles to deliver measurable outcomes fast. You’ll see hands-on delivery and coaching where your team can grow. Clear accountability at every step.
Kickoff – we define one or two metrics that really matter.
Rapid tests – two-week loops to validate or kill ideas.
Scale winners – automate, document, and bake the process into your playbook.
Handover – training, dashboards, and full ownership for your team.
The result is a working system that keeps improving even after I’ve stepped back.

Fintech and SaaS: Worlds Apart, Shared Lessons
Because growth has to work inside real-world limits.
Fintech and SaaS may look similar from the outside, but they move to very different rhythms. Fintech demands proof, patience, and compliance. SaaS thrives on speed and iteration. I’ve spent years inside both, learning how to balance regulation with growth.
In fintech, trust is the real currency. Marketing has to align with regulation (open banking, AML, Consumer Duty etc.) without killing creativity. In SaaS, the challenge is discipline: knowing when to automate, when to double down, and when to stop chasing every new idea.
I’ve launched regulated banking products, built compliant acquisition funnels that still scale, and run go-to-market campaigns across the UK, Ireland, DACH, Benelux, and the Nordics. What converts in London rarely lands the same way in Berlin or Copenhagen so I localise messaging without creating complexity.
Every campaign I design respects both sides of the equation: compliance that keeps regulators happy, and clarity that wins real customers.

What you actually get
Clear systems. Tangible outcomes. Practical design.
My work is actionable by design. You’ll leave with real assets, not dependencies. You’ll have systems your team can run and improve on their own.
That includes a clear roadmap and short experiment plan, a ready-to-use messaging and ICP playbook, fully tracked campaigns and dashboards, and clean automations that link every moving part together. Every deliverable stays with you.
There are two simple ways to work with me:
Fractional CMO – embedded senior support for strategy and delivery at £800/day, on a rolling 30-day agreement.
Growth projects – focused pieces of work tackling specific needs like outbound, SEO, RevOps, or conversion, scoped by the day at the same rate.
Most founders start with rolling fractional work. Early-stage startups often prefer a single focused project as a test, then move to more flexible and holistic ongoing growth work.
Either way, you get clear, steady progress that compounds over time.
