About

As the Global Head of GTM & Marketing at SoftwareOne, I have the opportunity to lead a hugely talented global team. My focus is on defining and implementing a customer & partner-centric global GTM and marketing strategy that spans the entire journey from awareness to revenue. My role encompasses overseeing Product Marketing, Demand Generation, Partner Marketing, Sales Enablement, Content, SoMe & Analyst Relations and Marketing Operations, while fostering innovation, collaboration, and accountability across the team. Prior to my current role, I held senior positions at Crayon, where I led global GTM and sales enablement strategies, and at Microsoft, where I drove partner enablement initiatives, as well as consulting partners on their GTM motions. I am passionate about helping people succeed and an ally to all. I love a random idea, a challenging scenario and the chance to learn different perspectives.

    As an Account Manager at FAST, I was responsible for approximately 500 accounts within the London and South-East area, across all verticals and size of businesses. My role was to execute a SAM model within these organisations, to help them become and maintain a compliant IT Environment. Within these 500 accounts I also had to drive awareness and gain support from Directors/Management to help me push that message throughout the businesses. This role taught me end to end processes and methods of SAM, including laws that are associated within compliance. I also achieved a place on the Future Leaders Programme. This was a course which gave an insight of subjects such as, management skills, conflict and how to motivate your team. One of the tasks of Future Leaders, was to implement a Communications Project to help the wider company become closer. Through market research and understanding of what communication methods are available, we were able to present a seamless recommendation to the Leadership Team. The FL Programme boosted my confidence and added more responsibilities to my role.
