Co-founder & President @ Scene | Turning sales conversations, company knowledge and data into personalised sales materials

About

Most sales conversations generate valuable insight. Very little of that insight makes it into the follow-up. Notes sit in CRM. Decks stay static. Context from the conversation gets lost. Instead of manually assembling follow-ups, Scene turns sales conversations, company knowledge and data into personalised sales materials for every prospect. The result: faster follow-ups and more relevant materials after every meeting. • Platform designed to turn sales conversations and company knowledge into personalised sales materials • Working with enterprise and agency organisations looking to scale high-quality follow-ups • Built to support high-velocity B2B sales and partner conversations The platform grew out of an AI-powered web builder used by a community of 12,000+ designers and marketers. Scene is currently working with enterprise and agency teams globally, exploring AI-driven sales execution and personalised follow-up workflows. ⸻ Before founding Scene • Global Brand Director at Diageo, leading global brand and commercial strategy • Director, Entertainment & Partnerships at Havas • Managed marketing budgets of £50M+ per client • Responsible for £100M+ P&L across global brand portfolios • Led partnerships and commercial initiatives generating £200M+ revenue Those roles exposed a consistent problem: Great insight generated during sales conversations, but weak execution after the meeting. Scene was built to automate that gap. ⸻ In parallel I serve as a Board Member at madSense, an AI intelligence platform translating institutional knowledge and market signals into actionable insight for marketing and media organisations. The platform combines data unification, knowledge graphs and domain-tuned AI models to help organisations understand markets, audiences and campaign performance with greater clarity. madSense embeds intelligence directly into operational workflows — enabling faster discovery, smarter decisions and more consistent outcomes across complex marketing ecosystems. ⸻ If you’re part of an agency, B2B org or an investor interested in AI-first go-to-market infrastructure, feel free to reach out.
