Most founders bring me in when revenue is growing but the business is starting to crack underneath it. Reporting is unreliable. Cashflow is unclear. The CRM is leaking. The team is busy but nothing is quite landing. And you're still stuck in the middle of everything. What you need isn't a consultant who talks strategy from a distance. You need someone who actually comes in, takes the wheel on day-to-day operations, actively manages the team, and gets things moving. That's what I do. I've built and scaled my own business to £10M revenue at 30% EBITDA before exiting, and held VP roles at Getty Images and Kodak. Because I have over 25 years of commercial leadership experience, I don't need an extensive ramp-up period. I've seen almost every operational bottleneck before, which means I spot leaking revenue faster and stabilise teams quicker. The work I'm most proud of is the hands-on stuff inside growing companies — fixing the operational chaos that builds up when a business scales faster than its systems. Where I typically focus * Team accountability & operating rhythm: Managing day-to-day delivery, running stand-ups, and leading the team so performance stops depending on you. * Cashflow forecasting & P&L visibility: Making sure you always know exactly where you stand financially. * CRM & revenue pipeline rebuilds: Tightening conversion tracking so leads don't fall through the cracks. * KPI dashboards & reporting: Creating practical data systems that actually support real-time decisions, not just tick a box. Recent work includes rebuilding CRM and revenue pipelines into a single operating model, improving follow-up discipline, managing remote teams, and installing reporting systems to support multi-million revenue growth. I work best with decisive, growth-minded founders in SaaS, e-commerce, and service businesses who are ready to hand over the day-to-day to someone who'll roll their sleeves up and drive it. If that's you, we'll hit the ground running.

Most businesses don't have a lead generation problem — they have a follow-up problem. I'm a GoHighLevel (GHL) Expert, CRM Automation Specialist, and AI Automation Consultant who fixes exactly that: slow response times, missed appointments, disorganized pipelines, and broken workflows that let leads slip through the cracks instead of becoming customers. I help businesses build scalable lead generation, lead nurturing, customer journey, and appointment booking systems that drive measurable results. I specialize in building complete business infrastructure inside GoHighLevel — connecting your marketing, sales, follow-up, reporting, and customer communication into one streamlined system that works automatically, with no manual babysitting required. I work with marketing agencies, real estate companies, healthcare providers (dental practices, medical spas), home service businesses (roofing, HVAC, plumbing, solar), coaches, consultants, insurance and mortgage professionals, law firms, SaaS companies, and local service businesses — helping each capture more leads, improve follow-up speed, increase conversion rates, and eliminate manual busywork.

Then I design automation systems around those real processes using GoHighLevel, N8N, Make, AI tools, and custom integrations — not a generic template. The result is a scalable system that improves lead tracking, pipeline management, customer communication, reporting, and overall business performance, while reducing manual work for your team. Why Businesses Work With Me ✔ Strong GoHighLevel & HighLevel Expertise ✔ Advanced Automation & Workflow Logic ✔ CRM Architecture & Process Optimization ✔ Funnel Strategy & Conversion Optimization ✔ API & Integration Experience ✔ AI Automation & Customer Experience Systems ✔ Clear Communication & Documentation ✔ Long-Term Growth Mindset If you're looking for a GoHighLevel Expert, GoHighLevel Consultant, HighLevel Specialist, GHL Automation Specialist, CRM Systems Architect, Sales Funnel Builder, N8N Expert, or AI Automation Consultant who can build reliable systems that support growth — send me a message with what's broken or what you're trying to build.

I step in to restore control, stabilise execution, and make revenue dependable again. I operate as a sales and revenue leader embedded inside B2B revenue functions. My mandate is clear: install structure, govern execution, and ensure revenue performance is reliable enough to support confident commercial decisions. This is operational ownership, not advisory commentary. Selected outcomes from prior engagements include: • Improved forecast accuracy from 55% to 85% within one quarter, restoring decision confidence • Reduced late-stage deal leakage by tightening qualification standards, increasing win rate from 18% to 27% • Stabilised pipeline conversion through structured cadence, building $1.8M plus qualified pipeline in 90 days • Reduced revenue volatility by shortening average sales cycle by 22 percent In practice, I: • Lead weekly pipeline and deal governance • Own forecast rhythm and revenue visibility • Define and enforce qualification and stage standards • Re-establish CRM integrity as a commercial control system • Surface revenue risk early and correct momentum • Strengthen performance accountability across the team • Install onboarding and expansion systems that protect margin and retention I approach pipeline with the same rigour finance applies to cash flow. Numbers must be dependable before growth decisions scale. Stable execution improves predictability, protects margin, and allows leadership to operate proactively rather than reactively. I work with B2B companies committed to strengthening their sales execution, whether founder-led or operating under established management. Engagement requires alignment, internal mandate, and real investment in building a disciplined revenue function. My role is embedded operational leadership, not commission-only selling, temporary representation, or unpaid experimentation. If your business is generating revenue but lacks consistent control across execution and forecasting, send a brief overview of your current sales structure. We can determine quickly whether an embedded engagement is the right move. ● 𝗦𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻: • The sales team is active but deals keep slipping and leadership cannot rely on the forecast. • Pipeline exists but conversion is inconsistent and opportunities stall late in the sales process. • A Sales Manager or Sales Operations lead is needed to introduce structure, cadence, and accountability across the team. • CRM is in place (HubSpot, Salesforce, etc.) but the pipeline data cannot be trusted for forecasting or decision-making. • The company needs a clear and repeatable sales process so the team follows the same qualification and deal progression standards. • Founders want an experienced Sales Consultant to review the pipeline, tighten qualification, and stabilise sales execution. • The team needs coaching and practical guidance on deal management, pipeline discipline, and sales process execution. • Leadership wants visibility into pipeline health, deal momentum, and realistic revenue forecasts. ● 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱: Fractional VP Sales | SDR Manager | BDR Manager | AE Manager | Enterprise & Corporate Sales Management leader building high-performance revenue teams and scalable sales engines.
