About

I’m a senior B2B marketing leader with ten years experience across demand generation, field marketing, and go-to-market strategy in fields with technical and regulatory complexity. I've owned building pipeline programmes across manufacturing, retail, hospitality, and logistics, targeting targeting senior C-Suite buyers across the UK&I, DACH< and the Middle East. I work best at the intersection of strategy and execution: I'm just as happy creating campaigns from scratch as I am presenting to senior stakeholders.

  • SafetyCulture ()
    • Senior Marketing Manager
      Jan 2025 - Jun 2026 · 1 yr 6 mos

      I lead regional marketing activity for SafetyCulture's UK&I and DACH markets, driving pipeline and revenue across new business and expansion. In FY26 alone, my activity contributed $4.8m in pipeline and $1.1m in closed won opportunities — hitting target early for the fifth consecutive year. My focus is intent-driven demand generation: ABM, executive roundtables, paid vertical campaigns, and thought leadership programmes that get in front of the right people at the right time. I work closely with Sales and CS to build campaigns around real market need — including bespoke strategies that helped close landmark deals with customers like Scottish Power, Altrad, and Network Rail. Beyond demand gen, I've built out our customer advocacy programme, led our DACH market entry (150% of target in year one), and run a full events calendar — from global trade shows to intimate executive roundtables. I'm a digital native on tools like Claude, HubSpot, Salesforce, Mutiny, and Navattic to build scalable, personalised digital experiences, and work cross-functionally with global marketing, PR, social, and GTM teams to make everything land.
