What I'm looking for

Senior sales role carrying a quota at a US, UK or European company in SaaS, fintech, payments or iGaming. Relocating to São Paulo and seeking a remote role from Brazil on US or UK hours, travel as needed. Keen on companies expanding into LatAm. No. 1 in UK&I new business at Google at 125% of target. Built BlackJam to over £600k in sales in 12 months, sourcing my own pipeline.

I'm a new business closer who sources, runs and closes my own pipeline. At Google, I won new advertisers across the UK and Ireland, reaching 125% of target and ranking #1 in the UK&I team. I sourced, called, and worked through to close; partnered with internal teams on warm lead generation; and managed and trained a dedicated SDR.

I then co-founded Sword Media and grew it to over €2.2m in annual sales. At BlackJam, I built the business from scratch to over £600k in sales within 12 months, sourcing 100% of new business through outreach, events and relationships. Clients spanned iGaming operators, fintech and consumer brands across 15 markets, with campaigns delivering up to 2,000 new customers a month. Most recently, I built the new business function and shaped the go-to-market for a SaaS product at Kinsman & Co.

I'm relocating to São Paulo, already hold a visa to live and work in Brazil, and can work US, UK or EU hours. I'm looking for a senior, quota-carrying sales role with a US, UK or European company, ideally one expanding into Brazil and LatAm. I'm open to direct employment, an employer of record, or engagement through my UK limited company.
