What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead commercial customer success, product commercialisation, or enterprise growth work where I can improve retention, expansion, forecasting and go-to-market execution across Sales, CS and Product.

I've spent almost nine years at Mention Me, helping scale its B2B SaaS business from £3m to £11m ARR. I currently lead product commercialisation across Product, Engineering, Design, PMM, Sales and Customer Success, turning account feedback, win/loss data and competitive intelligence into commercial positioning and product priorities.

In my first quarter in this role, new ARR reached £410k against a £400k target while churn was held to -£700k versus a -£790k allowance. I also co-led the rollout of Claude-based skills infrastructure across commercial and product teams, reducing commercial report cycles from days to around 10 minutes.

Previously, I led Mention Me's Solutions Consulting team, increasing win rate from 15% to 27% and supporting deals with 2–6x higher ACVs. I've closed six-figure enterprise contracts across DTC, retail, hospitality and travel, and built the demo, forecasting, pricing, qualification and value-engineering practices used across the business.

My Customer Success background keeps me focused on retention and expansion, not relationship management alone. I've delivered 90% gross retention against a 70% target on a £6m ARR segment, developed account-health and retention forecasting playbooks, and coached CSMs, consultants and commercial teammates into more senior roles.
