Incredibly proud to be supporting Asana's mission to help humanity thrive by enabling the world's teams to work together effortlessly.

As companies continue to invest in improving the productivity of their workforce. Asana is leading the way in Human + AI Collaboration.

15+ years of enterprise sales experience with a constant focus on helping people, teams and companies to become more productive, successful and fulfilled in their work.

I’ve built and exited a start-up business and been part of the growth of early-stage British SaaS companies like Huddle as well as the unique environment of hypergrowth companies like Linkedin where I was a top EMEA performer and President Club Winner

I know what it takes to build teams, own territory, build pipeline and win business across multiple functions and geographies with a consultative and strategic approach. 

Over 7 years I consulted companies via Sales Confidence like Salesloft, Zoominfo, Gong, 6Sense, Demandbase, Cognism, SimilarWeb and many others build brand awareness, land sales hires at all levels and grow their revenue in the UK and EMEA. 

I’m also the author of the book “How to Build Sales Confidence” which you can check out on Amazon.

CEO and Founder

Passionate about getting strategic sales hires right because in tech, the right Enterprise Account Executive or Chief Revenue Officer doesn’t just hit target. They change the trajectory of the business.

I believe the future of the UK’s tech sector depends on the strength of its commercial talent.

I specialise in placing high-performing senior sales professionals: Enterprise Account Executives, Sales Directors, Heads of Sales, VPs of Sales and CROs. These are the people with the potential to become tomorrow’s CEOs and Founders. They are the ones who unlock growth and make a lasting commercial impact.

I'm here to support those careers, not just in securing the next role, but in building long-term paths that evolve and excite. It's a myth that great salespeople only want to sell forever. Many go on to lead teams, shape strategy and build the next generation of businesses.

As a recruiter, my role isn’t just about filling vacancies. It’s about helping companies make high-impact commercial hires and helping senior sales professionals navigate the smartest next move in their careers.

My process is built around one of the most trusted sales networks in tech, backed by:

• An unrivalled network of Enterprise Sales and VP-level talent — people I know, not just names on LinkedIn
• Commercial insight into what makes a hire succeed in high-growth, complex sales environments
• A deep understanding that sales careers need to have progression - financially or in scope - because misalignment is what makes sales hires fail
• And a belief that the 'top 10%' is often a myth, because top performance is rarely universal. A strong leader or high-performing environment can elevate an Account Executive into that top bracket, but it doesn’t always translate to the next company. Context matters.

I’m also launching Driven by Revenue, a podcast interviewing CROs who’ve led businesses through 300 percent growth and beyond, unpacking how they built their careers and delivered commercial impact.

If you’re hiring strategic sales talent or building your own commercial career, I’d love to be part of that journey.
