About

I work with complex B2B products in multi-market environments, building go-to-market strategies that connect brand positioning to pipeline and revenue. The industries have varied: SaaS, industrial manufacturing, smart buildings, PropTech, gaming, but the work has a consistent shape: learn the product and market deeply, partner with sales and product teams, and make the commercial model work. At Spacewell (Nemetschek Group), a post-acquisition brand merger across five European markets had to be completed in under six months. Working alongside sales, product, and two legacy marketing teams, we delivered it. Demo requests increased by 537% on the NL site through SEO. MRR grew 18.3% in a single quarter. Lead-to-opportunity conversion improved 110%. At TrendMiner (Software AG Group > Proemion), designing and running the account-based marketing programme in close partnership with the sales team landed enterprise accounts including Henkel, Braskem, Sika, and W.R. Grace. The programme exceeded its Year 1 sales-qualified target by 53% and reduced the enterprise sales cycle by 137 days. Earlier, a gaming platform with 4 million users needed to scale. Thirteen months later, it had reached 9 million users and was acquired by SteelSeries. The common thread across these roles is the type of work: complex B2B products, multi-market operations, cross-functional collaboration with sales leadership and C-suite, and a focus on turning marketing strategy into measurable commercial outcomes. I'm most engaged in organisations where the product genuinely matters, technology that improves how people work, how industries operate, or how the environment is protected.
