Go-to-market Strategist & Fractional CMO
Sep 2024 - Present • 1 yr 8 mos
I work with B2B and SaaS companies on positioning, messaging and go-to-market execution, with a clear focus on pipeline and revenue. This is not advisory work in isolation. I get involved in how growth actually happens - from clarifying positioning and sharpening messaging through to demand generation, CRM structure and day-to-day execution. Much of the work sits between strategy and delivery: turning complex products or categories into clear propositions, stronger messaging and practical go-to-market programs that translate into pipeline. Typical areas of focus include: Go-to-market strategy, positioning and messaging Pipeline generation through content and demand programmes Alignment between marketing, sales and revenue operations CRM and workflow design to support consistent execution A core part of my approach is making marketing more systematic - simplifying where possible, tightening the link between activity and revenue, and removing friction between teams. I also apply AI-driven workflows and automation to improve speed, consistency and output across the marketing lifecycle.
