💡 Technology should serve people — not replace their value.
I help B-Corp and social enterprise CEOs navigate AI adoption with clarity, courage, and care — protecting what makes their organisation human while unlocking innovation.

🚫 You’ve seen what rushed, misaligned tech can do: fractured teams, eroded trust, and mission drift.
💪 You’re committed to leading with integrity, but you’re under pressure to do more with less — while keeping your culture intact.

That’s where I come in.
With 25+ years in IT transformation and professional coaching credentials, I bridge the gap between technical AI expertise and human-centered change leadership.
Unlike tech consultants who overlook the human cost — or coaches who avoid the tech — I guide adoption so your organisation comes out better than before: more connected, more resilient, and more aligned to its mission.

🛠 The Better With Humans™ Method
1️⃣ Clarity Before Code – Align AI with your values and impact goals before choosing tools.
2️⃣ Lead from the Inside Out – Guide change with courage, empathy, and moral clarity.
3️⃣ Human-in-the-Loop Teams – Engage people early, co-create solutions, and build trust.
4️⃣ Sustainable Systems for Impact – Build long-term capability, measure what matters, and evolve without burnout.

📌 What You’ll Walk Away With
✅ A clear, values-aligned AI roadmap
✅ A confident, engaged team that feels safe in the journey
✅ Protection for your culture and mission
✅ Momentum for innovation — without losing your people in the process

🤝 If you want AI to strengthen your people, trust, and values — not undermine them — let’s talk.

What if You Could Guarantee Every Sales Hire Hits Their Targets?

That’s exactly what EBAS helps SaaS and Tech leaders do.

As a SaaS or Tech leader, every sales hire is a high-stakes decision. Your growth depends on finding sales talent that actually delivers. Get it wrong, and it costs you—wasted budget, missed targets, and a hit to your reputation.

The Reality? 90% of SaaS and Tech Companies Fail.

Even with a great product and solid plan, without the right sales team, you could miss your shot. And the cost of a bad hire? It’s bigger than you think:

Missed Targets: When sales fall short, growth stalls, and big opportunities slip by.
Burned Runway: Hiring mistakes chew up your cash and your time.
Damaged Reputation: One bad fit can throw off your team and damage the trust you’ve built.

That’s Where EBAS Comes In.

At EBAS, we don’t just fill seats—we help you hire sales talent guaranteed to drive revenue up.
Here’s how we do it:
Fast—21-Day Placement Guarantee: In three weeks or less, we’ll find and place top sales talent, fully vetted and ready to go.
Performance Guarantee—90-Day Success: If your hire doesn’t hit 90% of their target in the first 90 days, we’ll replace them at no cost.

Our track record speaks for itself with over 100+ successful sales hires from early stage startups, scale ups and fortune 500 companies like Hubspot and SAP.

When every hire counts, don’t settle. Partner with EBAS to secure sales talent that drives growth and keeps your runway safe.

This one thing can destroy your reputation. 

Lying about you still being at a company when you have already left. 

Stop fabricating your employment history.

Especially if it’s already been a few months.

Because here’s the part candidates don’t realise - hiring managers notice.

And once they see that first stretch of the truth, they start wondering what else isn’t real.

That’s not the first impression you want, and it’s completely avoidable.

If you’ve been between roles for a bit, here’s the truth:

Honesty builds more trust than a polished timeline ever will.

Gaps happen.
Life happens. 
No one respectable is judging you for that.

But they will judge the lie.

Own your timeline.
Own your story.
Your credibility is worth more than a cleaner resume.

Agree or disagree? Have you ever spotted a “too perfect” job history and raised an eyebrow?

Connecting the top 1% of sales talent with VC-backed and fast growing tech companies in US & APAC

You’ve only got a few weeks before hiring goes quiet for the festive break.

Most hiring managers disappear.
Pipelines stall.
Replies slow to a crawl.

But that’s exactly why now is the moment to stand out.

While everyone else winds down, you can do the opposite.
Be creative.
Attend that industry event.
Call that contact you’ve been meaning to reconnect with.
Write that post you’ve been putting off.
Join that professional group.
Share your thoughts on industry trends or tactics.
Show your thinking.
Put your name out there.
You don’t need to “wait for January.”
You need to be visible when most people aren’t.

These next few weeks can create the conversations that turn into opportunities in the new year.

Quiet hiring season doesn’t have to be quiet for you — unless you choose to be quiet too.

Stop selling a fantasy. 

The real safeguard in startups and new markets is telling both sides of the story.

If you’re building a startup or expanding into a new region, stop pretending it’s going to be smooth.

Because it won’t be.
It will be messy.
It will be a grind.
Things will break.
Priorities will shift weekly.
Some days you’ll wonder why you ever signed up for this.
That’s normal.

What’s not normal is when founders or hiring managers oversell the role…
 and candidates pretend they’re ready for chaos…
 and then everyone is shocked when the person quits three months in.

Startups are scrappy by definition.

New markets are unpredictable by definition.

You can’t “polish” that away.

The most successful teams I’ve seen do one thing differently:
They’re brutally honest on both sides.

Hiring managers say, “Here’s the good, here’s the hard, here’s the reality.”

Candidates say, “Here’s what I can handle, and here’s what I can’t.”

That level of clarity saves time, money, energy, and entire teams.

If people are leaving within months, the issue usually isn’t skill.

It’s misaligned expectations built on half-truths.

Honesty doesn’t scare away the right people.
It filters for them.
If a role is going to be chaotic, say so.
If a company is still figuring things out, say so.
If the job requires grit, say so.
The right candidates will lean in.
The wrong ones will self-select out.
And that’s exactly the point.

What do you think — should startups be far more transparent about the messy parts, or do most still sugarcoat it?

Want to join a global scale up that is disrupting the workflow and automations space with a no code platform? 

They were also voted the best place to work and are expanding into APAC.

If you're a hungry driven account executive who thrives in fast paced hybrid environments, wants to make an impact, has a growth mindset and wants to make lots of money, the below roles might be for you.
