I’m a marketing leader with over 20 years of experience in B2B professional services marketing. I believe that brand is the ultimate growth accelerator, especially when it’s championed by a high-performing team committed to doing things differently. 

As the Global Head of Marketing at Mourant, I blend creativity with strategic rigor to drive commercial growth, shape compelling brand narratives, and elevate the client experience at every touchpoint.

My passion for brand marketing goes beyond standard campaigns. I’m always looking for ways to stand out in crowded markets, whether that means turning fresh ideas into global initiatives or leveraging data and technology to optimise results. 

Leading an international, multi-disciplinary marketing team, I focus on building a culture of collaboration, inclusivity, and continuous learning—because the best marketing outcomes come from inspired, empowered people working together.

Above all, I believe in pushing boundaries, both in how we engage clients and how we nurture talent. My goal is to create marketing strategies that not only deliver measurable impact but also spark enthusiasm across our entire firm. If you share my passion for brand innovation, exceptional client experiences, and building teams that excel, let’s connect. I’d love to exchange ideas and explore how we can shape the future of marketing together.

Struggle to communicate your offering? You need a Clear Sales Message™ Not sure how to sell? you need Selling Confidence™

→ Do you struggle to communicate and sell your offering?
→ Not really sure what to say to engage potential buyers?
→ Feel like you're not closing as much as you could or should?

A LOT of B2B founders experience the frustration of low sales/conversion (coming from people not quite “getting” your offering.) 

This can cause cash flow and confidence issues.

And… losing deals you know you should have won.

Maybe you can relate?

Unfortunately, it happens all too often.

I see it with my clients all the time - it’s why they come to me. 👍

Since 2018, I’ve been working with B2B founders with “hard to explain” offerings to create a Clear Sales Message™  that helps them close more deals.

With a Clear Sales Message™   you can stop worrying about:

❌ Being stumped by difficult objections/questions
❌ People just not seeing the value you offer
❌ Wasting time and ad spend trying to get people to simply understand why they need you. 

And instead...

✅ You have an “answer for EVERYTHING”.
✅ People come to you, knowing EXACTLY what you offer.
✅ Sales cycles shorten and ROAS increases as people FINALLY “get it.”


For example:

🚑 OnCue Transport came to me with a new “hard to explain” offering and I took them from £3M pa to £11M pa

🏢 Tobi from Diverse made £30k in 3 months when we dialled in his offer and made sure he knew EXACTLY how to sell it and what to say.

📣 Jack at Longman Media Co came to me wanting to be clearer on what he does and closed a £12k deal on the strength of a 2 word phrase we created for him (within 2 weeks).

👷‍♂️ John at Symterra wanted help explaining his offering and on the strength of that he was able to secure investor funding and SCALE the business as a result.


And that’s just a handful of the 300+ clients I have helped.

(Not to mention the 200+ students I've taught my Clear Sales Message™ methodology to at UCL and  and BirkBeck University of London) 

So,
