What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a client-focused, consultative role where I can drive revenue growth, build long-term partnerships, and apply regulated-finance experience to deliver measurable KPIs and commercial performance.

I am a commercially focused Business Development and Relationship Management professional with more than eight years of experience helping organisations build strategic partnerships, strengthen stakeholder relationships, increase revenue, and achieve sustainable business growth.

My experience spans financial services, pension management, technology, fintech, SaaS, and client facing commercial environments. Throughout my career, I have successfully managed large client portfolios, developed high value business opportunities, delivered commercial growth strategies, and cultivated long term relationships with corporate and individual stakeholders.

I have a proven track record of exceeding performance targets, driving client retention, supporting revenue growth, and delivering exceptional customer experiences. My strengths include stakeholder engagement, business development, account management, commercial strategy, pipeline development, relationship building, proposal development, and cross functional collaboration.

I managed a portfolio of over 8,400 clients, contributed to significant growth in assets under management, and consistently exceeded annual performance targets while maintaining full regulatory compliance. More recently, at Softplace Limited, I have led business development initiatives across fintech and SaaS markets, supporting client acquisition, retention, and strategic account growth.

I am passionate about helping businesses identify opportunities, solve challenges, create value for customers, and build meaningful partnerships that deliver measurable results.

Areas of expertise include:

• Business Development and Sales Strategy

• Strategic Partnerships and Stakeholder Engagement

• Account Management and Client Retention

• Commercial Growth and Revenue Generation

• Corporate Relationship Management

• Fintech and Technology Solutions

• Proposal Development and Bid Support

• CRM and Pipeline Management

• Customer Success and Experience

• Project Coordination and Cross Functional Collaboration

I am always interested in connecting with professionals, organisations, and decision makers who are passionate about growth, innovation, stakeholder engagement, and creating lasting business impact.
