What I'm looking for

I'm open to UK roles that are on-site, hybrid, or remote.

At Food-Tech Connect, I run B2B cold email campaigns end to end, from building prospect data to getting messages into the inbox. I configure domains, mailboxes, and email authentication, then build targeted lists and run sequences that average 7–10% reply rates.

With a focus on QSR, chain, and fine dining restaurants, I identify decision-makers and run outreach that contributed to a $30K revenue increase. I also run A/B tests, hand off replies to sales, and maintain GDPR and CAN-SPAM compliance.
