London Area, United Kingdom
After 20+ years in Silicon Valley, where I led global teams at Lucent, Altera, and LSI and ran a $400 million sales and marketing organisation, I went on to grow a Silicon Valley startup to over $100 million in global revenue. I founded Primotech, a London-based advisory and growth partner, to bridge a clear gap in how cutting-edge technology companies enter and expand in the UK and European markets. Primotech helps high-potential cybersecurity, fintech, AI, and quantum firms win major enterprise projects, secure flagship logos, and build long-term relationships across financial services, telco, and data-centre sectors. We’ve achieved major wins with leading organisations including JP Morgan Chase, Barclays, Bloomberg, NYSE/ICE, LSEG, Vodafone, BT, Morgan Stanley, and BAE Systems, helping over 20 emerging vendors establish reference customers, channel partnerships, and seven-figure pipelines. Since 2023, I also run Cyber & Beats, an invite-only roundtable series in London for CISOs and CTOs. The format provides early access to game-changing technologies, credible peer insights, and meaningful conversations under Chatham House rules. Senior leaders explore topics such as AI in security, regulatory change, human risk, and real-world enterprise strategy. For CISOs and CTOs: I offer early access to emerging technologies before mainstream adoption. Whether you want to benchmark, explore new ideas, or stay ahead of the curve, I connect you with credible insights and trusted peers — without sales pressure. For Founders and Growth Teams: I help you break into complex enterprise environments, secure strategic pilots, navigate long sales cycles, and close high-value deals with the right senior sponsors. With deep networks across the UK, Europe, the US, and China, I bring together the right leaders, ideas, and opportunities — enabling innovation to scale faster and more effectively.

Through Cyber & Beats, my role is to connect senior CISOs with the innovators reshaping cybersecurity — not through sales pitches, but through trusted conversations that matter. I curate private, off-the-record dinners where leaders share real-world experiences, challenge assumptions, and influence the tools that will define tomorrow’s defences. By blending serious discussion with premium dining, good people, and world-class live music, I create an environment where ideas flow, networks strengthen, and innovation takes root.
