What I'm looking for

I’m drawn to complex, multi-stakeholder environments where I can build commercial foundations, develop people, and create sustainable growth through rigorous thinking and genuine relationships.

I work at the intersection of people, organizations, and growth, building the commercial foundations and human infrastructure that help companies scale sustainably.

As an independent sales and commercial strategy consultant, I partner with early-stage and scaling technology companies on GTM strategy, ICP design, outbound systems, sales processes, and business development across AI, SaaS, and international markets. I embed with founding and senior teams to diagnose gaps and build the playbooks and pipelines that move businesses from traction to scale.

My experience includes leading growth at Hodi and supporting executive search across Sub-Saharan Africa at Shortlist Professionals. I’m drawn to complex, multi-stakeholder work that requires rigorous thinking, strong relationships, and a people-first approach to growth.
