About Matthew

Partnerships Leader with 20+ years’ experience scaling SaaS and marketing agencies from early traction to $1M–$1.7M+ ARR through GTM and partner-led growth.

My work centres on one outcome: designing and executing growth systems that scale. I specialise in building high-value partnerships, repeatable GTM engines, and translating strategy into measurable commercial results.

I’ve closed and expanded revenue-generating partnerships across SaaS, MarTech, and tech-enabled services, solving complex commercial challenges and turning them into clear, scalable solutions.

Selected results

Increased SendX ARR by $600K, doubling revenue from $600K to $1.2M in 14 months
Scaled Market8 from ~$1M to $1.7M ARR in under 18 months via partnerships and GTM optimisation
Founded and scaled Growth Drivers from $0 to $250K ARR in its first year

My work spans positioning, segmentation, partner ecosystem design, sales enablement, onboarding frameworks, PLG, and long-cycle B2B deal execution.

I bridge strategy and execution by building the playbooks, then running the first partnerships and deals to validate the channel before scaling.

Today, I lead partnerships and GTM at Product Fruits, turning the product into a primary growth channel by improving activation, adoption, and self-serve conversion through in-product growth frameworks.

I also advise early-stage SaaS companies on building sustainable growth systems that prioritise long-term revenue over short-term spikes.

If you’re looking to build a repeatable growth engine rather than chase one-off wins, I’d be glad to connect.
