About Lara

I’m a commercial growth and demand marketing leader with 11+ years’ experience across B2B tech and adtech. I specialise in turning marketing activity into measurable pipeline and revenue, and I work with founder-led and growth-stage businesses on a fractional or project basis where outcomes matter.

I have 11+ years’ experience delivering growth, demand and go-to-market execution across B2B technology, adtech and media businesses in the UK, GCC, West Africa and EMEA. My work focuses on deployable execution stepping into scaling or underperforming environments to fix marketing-to-sales handover, build demand engines, and deliver measurable results within short timeframes (typically 60–90 days).

I’ve led integrated demand, ABM, field and partner marketing programmes that have delivered $68.5M+ influenced pipeline, $20M+ closed-won revenue, 4.5x ROI on six-figure budgets, and a 32% uplift in MQL→SQL conversion.

I work best with founder-led and SME businesses that need senior marketing capability without a full-time hire where speed, accountability and commercial impact are prioritised over titles. Engagements are typically fractional (1–2 days per week) or short-term execution projects with clear outcomes.
