About

I help B2B SaaS and technology organisations turn fragmented marketing into structured, revenue-driven growth engines. I specialise in building strong marketing foundations, clarifying market positioning, defining the value proposition, and establishing scalable, data-driven demand generation systems that align marketing, sales, and product to deliver measurable commercial impact.

I began my career in global, market-leading organisations, gaining exposure to structured marketing functions and best-in-class processes, but often felt constrained by siloed teams and single-function marketing roles.

More recently, I’ve led marketing across B2B SaaS and technology SMEs, gaining a holistic understanding of the full marketing system, the customer buying journey, and the importance of cross-departmental alignment to achieve optimal revenue outcomes. This experience provides credibility rooted in real-world execution and informs a strategic, systems-level approach to marketing leadership.

I leverage my 18 years of marketing experience to make well-informed strategic decisions and successfully mentor and lead high-performing marketing teams. I focus on building marketing functions that are aligned with organisational goals and deliver measurable commercial outcomes, including significant increases in qualified leads, demo bookings, organic traffic, and pipeline performance.

FAQ

Q: What is your favourite place on earth?

A: Tricky. Both up in the hills in Bali and out on the sea sailing. I’ve been lucky enough to go to Bali twice, although 30 years apart. It still retains its magic for me. Beautiful and peaceful, both scenery and people. I just relax and smile the minute I think about it. Also, out at sea, the peacefulness of being on a boat with the sails up, no motor and beautiful scenery and wildlife to watch is also a place of calm. After that it is home.

Q: If you were not a COO, what would you be doing instead?

A: A detective or pathologist. I’m always looking to solve puzzles – spot patterns, fill in the gaps, connect the dots, make things work better, solve problems. It’s what I do in DWG and in another life I’d do the same. As a child, apparently I wanted to be a nurse; I suppose making people better is fixing stuff too!

Q: What is the best thing about working with DWG?

A: Our people. Hands down. DWG is full of dedicated, professional, knowledgeable and fun people to work with. I learn something from someone, and laugh, every day.

Q: What animal do you most identify with?

A: A cat. Nobody truly owns them or tells them what to do, they make their own rules. I have three, so I know.
