As the founder of Let's Talk Marketing, I've acted as an embedded marketing leader for multiple businesses, building growth strategies, launching products, leading cross-functional teams and delivering measurable commercial results.

I specialise in:
• Fractional CMO & Marketing Director support

• Growth Marketing & Demand Generation
• Account-Based Marketing (ABM)
• Commercial Strategy & Strategic Partnerships
• Product Launches & Brand Positioning
• Customer Acquisition & Lead Generation

Whether you need strategic marketing leadership, a GTM plan for a new product, support scaling your marketing function, or a trusted partner to bridge the gap between sales and marketing, I bring a commercial, hands-on approach focused on delivering sustainable growth.
