Available to hire
I help SaaS and subscription businesses identify and fix the biggest conversion and monetisation gaps in their growth funnel.
My work focuses on diagnosing where users drop off, from acquisition through to activation and conversion, turning those insights into prioritised experimentation roadmaps.
I’ve both led and executed funnel optimisation work that increased self-serve revenue by 20%, and built end-to-end growth systems that improved lead generation and conversion visibility by over 40% year-on-year.
Typical engagements include:
- Holistic, full-funnel audits
- Identification of friction points and missed “aha” moments
- Prioritised A/B testing roadmaps tied to measurable outcomes
- Recommendations across pricing, onboarding, lifecycle, and messaging
I’m hands on, data-driven, and focused on delivering changes that translate directly into revenue impact.
