Hi there, I’m Ben Clarke. I’ve spent the last several years building product marketing functions, defining product-market fit, delivering go-to-market roadmaps, and setting up CRM systems to fuel sales, partnerships, and investment. I recently began the UK Special Forces Selection Course in January 2026 and was medically withdrawn on March 25; I’m now seeking a role that gets me back into work while I recover. Previously I was the first marketing hire at CaptureNow, shaping the business model and taking the product from concept to market. At xUnlocked I led marketing and sales, delivering multi-year revenue growth and ARR improvements. I also chair a charity that supports 2,500 students in Uganda and led customer engagement and operations at Fiit. I’m excited to apply my cross-functional marketing, CRM, and growth skills to help a mission-driven or software business scale.
