Senior Marketing Professional | EMEA Demand Generation & GTM Strategy

London, England, United Kingdom

About

Marketing is most powerful when it sits at the intersection of commercial strategy and human storytelling. I'm a marketing professional with 10+ years of experience scaling B2B SaaS businesses across EMEA. I specialise in GTM strategy, demand generation and brand building, with a particular focus on turning commercial vision into programmes that actually deliver. I'm a native German speaker based in London, and I've spent most of my career marketing across the full breadth of EMEA – which means I genuinely understand that "one-size-fits-all" rarely fits anyone. I care as much about the quality of the story as the rigour of the data behind it. For me, the best marketing does both.
