Commercial Lead at Wider.ai, turning real-time AI personalisation into enterprise SaaS and securing NetBet as its flagship launch customer.

Spain
Message

At Wider.ai, I built the commercial strategy, go-to-market model, pricing framework and enterprise proposition for an AI SaaS product focused on personalisation, risk intelligence and AML automation. I secured NetBet as its flagship launch customer and developed partnerships with Optimove, Bloomreach and Sportingtech.

At Optimove, I built and led Enterprise Sales, Solutions Engineering, Integrations and Account Management teams. I achieved 120% of my $1.5M individual quota and 90% of the $4M team quota, and led a $7M ARR strategic opportunity.

At Frosmo, I delivered 24% year-over-year revenue growth and generated more than $500K in incremental ARR through technology partnerships. Localising propositions by market lifted customer conversion by 30%.

At Velitech, I delivered more than 50% regional revenue growth across South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya despite regulatory and licensing challenges. Earlier, I led a 12-person commercial team at iGamingElite to record annual revenue, improved forecasting accuracy by 40%, and won the EGR Award for Outstanding Partnerships.
