What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead outbound/sales teams where I can own the full funnel—coaching, playbooks, and retention economics—using data and AI-powered tooling. I thrive on direct responsibility, experimentation, and measurable outcomes across global markets.

I’m a senior outbound sales leader with 15 years of service-based commercial experience across consumer subscription, executive search, regulated financial services, and B2B advertising. I co-founded a recruitment consultancy (sold on exit) and most recently spent 3 years on the front line of HelloFresh AU’s acquisition funnel as Sales & Campaign Manager at D2MS, bringing direct “HelloFresh ecosystem” knowledge of sign-up, retention economics, and lifecycle levers.

I build systems that scale: I proposed UX changes to the HelloFresh sign-up journey that were adopted and trialled in their Norwegian market, cut subscription cancellations from 45% to under 5%, and lifted B1/B2 subscriber retention by 20%+ within 8 weeks. I built an AI-powered operations platform from scratch (no dev team, no budget), created the BMF objection framework, redesigned onboarding into a measurable 3-week induction, and managed remote teams of up to 30 reps across 9 countries.
