What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and lead partner-led growth for a finance software or SaaS business, combining channel strategy, commercial ownership, team leadership and AI-enabled GTM scale.

At ISPnext, I built the UK&I partner function from zero, recruiting 10+ strategic partners and delivering high six-figure ARR in its first year. I lead partner strategy, revenue contribution and AI enablement, creating onboarding, PRM, deal-registration and QBR frameworks that turn partnerships into predictable pipeline.

I've spent 8+ years on both sides of the UK finance software channel, from selling Sage ERP as a reseller to leading channel and co-sell motions across Microsoft, Oracle, NetSuite and Sage ecosystems. Across Medius, Draycir and Caatalyst, I've led commercial teams, generated £1.5m+ in partner-sourced and influenced ARR, and built practical enablement programmes around how partners actually make money.
