About Kris

I’m Kris Carter - a product marketing leader who’s spent the last decade inside B2B SaaS and fintech companies watching good products lose because their GTM was slow, muddled, or built for internal comfort rather than buyers.

I was the founding PMM for Procore’s UK & Ireland expansion, where we had to earn trust quickly in a market that didn’t know us. That work scaled the region into Procore’s fastest-growing international market, carried through their IPO, and led a full rebrand of the Preconstruction suite.

I’ve since led positioning work at Featurespace and Eastnets, helping complex platforms explain themselves clearly when the stakes were high and time was short. Based in Manchester, UK. Working with SaaS teams across the UK, Europe and North America.

I'm available for:
