I am a strategic marketing and sales leader with over twenty years of experience driving commercial growth for global B2B technology brands across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. I help organisations turn ambition into traction by connecting strategy, marketing and sales in a way that delivers measurable pipeline and ROI. I have led integrated event and field marketing programmes for brands such as IBM, Oracle, Salesforce and Red Hat, translating complex commercial challenges into clear, creative and results driven campaigns. I am used to working within enterprise environments with multiple stakeholders, aligning marketing, sales and partners, and optimising budgets to maximise impact rather than activity. What clients value in my approach is focus and pragmatism. I don’t believe in marketing for visibility alone, every programme must contribute to growth, brand preference and commercial momentum. I enjoy shaping markets through strong branding, relevant content and targeted programmes, and I thrive in fast paced, collaborative environments where decisions are grounded in insight and results matter.
