Growth Lead | Scaling SaaS and Marketplaces | Building Sustainable Growth Strategies

Australia

With over 8 years of experience in Growth and Growth Marketing, I’ve helped SaaS companies and startups scale sustainably. From launching products into new markets to leading Product-Led Growth (PLG) initiatives, I focus on strategies and initiatives that drive real, measurable results—whether it's increasing customer engagement, retention, monetisation or acquisition.

I am currently the Growth Lead at Hipages (ASX: HPG), where I am mainly focused on home-owner growth for the marketplace.

Outside of work, I’m a former professional MMA athlete and co-founded of one of Australia’s top martial arts gyms. I’m also passionate about history, currently pursuing a degree in Ancient History Mediterranean and ancient language studies.

I believe in balancing data-driven growth strategies with creativity, and while I’ve had the privilege of scaling SaaS companies at different stages from bootstrapped to VC-backed to Public, I also enjoy rolling up my sleeves and diving deep into experimentation.
