Selected Partnerships

Let's build something together.

I work with a select number of partners who bring the capability I don't have — and who need the GTM engine I do. Two types. Both require genuine fit.

Partnership Type 01

GTM & Growth Partners

For AI, tech, cloud, or software delivery companies that have strong capability but need a demand generation system to reach B2B buyers in the US or EMEA. You bring the product. I build the pipeline.

What I bring

The demand engine

  • Full-funnel demand gen strategy and execution
  • AI-powered outbound and ABM programs
  • Paid media management (Google Ads + LinkedIn)
  • Conversion-optimised website and landing page builds
  • GA4 analytics, pipeline reporting, and CAC tracking
  • 19 years of US B2B buyer knowledge
What you bring

The delivery capability

  • Software, AI, cloud, DevOps, or managed tech services
  • A defined B2B product or service with proven delivery
  • US or EMEA market ambition
  • A founding team willing to commit to GTM as a function
  • No existing senior marketing leadership in place

If you are building a tech or AI company and need the marketing side run properly — not outsourced, not templated — reach out with a brief description of what you are building and who you are selling to.

Process

How it works.

No lengthy qualification process. No deck required upfront. Three steps from first contact to a clear yes or no.

01

You reach out with the brief

One email. Tell me who you are, what you are building or placing, and why you think there is fit. Two paragraphs is enough.

02

We have a 30-minute call

I ask questions. You ask questions. We assess fit honestly. No pitch decks, no NDAs at this stage.

03

We formalise or close the loop

If there is genuine fit, we agree terms and move. If there is not, I will tell you clearly and we part on good terms.
