What I'm looking for

I seek senior commercial roles focused on net-new acquisition and strategic partnerships where I can own pipeline, build executive sponsorship, and apply data-driven tooling to deliver multi-million-pound outcomes.

I am a senior commercial sales and partnerships professional specialising in net-new account acquisition, complex deal origination, and strategic account expansion across enterprise and regulated environments. I take full ownership of pipeline creation, deal progression, and revenue delivery through consultative selling and data-led market intelligence.

I have a proven track record of opening senior relationships and converting insight-led discovery into multi-million-pound outcomes, including securing a £4M+ airport transformation opportunity and achieving sole supplier status within a major financial services organisation. I build executive sponsorship and navigate multi-stakeholder buying committees to deliver funded programmes and long-term partnerships.

As a differentiator, I independently design and build bespoke software and data tooling (Python, SQL, Node.js, React) to automate research, surface buying signals, and streamline commercial processes, directly accelerating pipeline creation and deal progression. I partner effectively with delivery, intelligence, and leadership teams to shape propositions, pricing, and commercial strategy.
