About

I step into SaaS and tech-enabled companies to scale revenue and enterprise value through focused go-to-market execution, leadership alignment, and commercial discipline. I have led commercial teams of up to 50 FTE and operated within organizations ranging from scale-ups to €900M+ enterprise business units. Over the last 5 years, I’ve led GTM resets and growth acceleration in SaaS and PE-backed environments, taking end-to-end responsibility across product, revenue, people, and P&L. I work hands-on with leadership teams to sharpen ICPs, messaging, funnel discipline, and operating cadence; translating strategy into execution that delivers measurable ARR and enterprise value growth. My background combines senior operating roles at Salesforce, VodafoneZiggo and Exact with CEO-level responsibility in scale-up contexts. I’m typically brought in when organizations need to reduce GTM ambiguity, improve forecast reliability, strengthen commercial leadership, and prepare for the next growth or value-creation phase. Core strengths • Go-to-market & revenue strategy • Scaling recurring revenue (ARR) and net revenue retention • Commercial leadership and team development • PE & board-level alignment • International growth and execution Leadership mindset As an Ironman (distance) triathlete, I apply the same focus, structure, and discipline to leadership that I apply in training, in service of sustainable high performance.
