I spent nine years at Google, and I got to see marketing from almost every angle: helping small businesses grow back in Brazil, building campaigns for Search and YouTube, then launching hardware like Pixel and Google Nest across Europe.

The thread through all of it was the same, taking something technical and making people actually care, and that turned out to be the part I love most. That's still the job. Deep tech companies build something genuinely hard, and then the market reads it wrong, or slowly, or not at all. That gap isn't a branding problem. It shows up as deals that stall, launches that underperform, and value that doesn't appear at exit. Closing it is what I do. Three things specifically: Positioning and product marketing. Making a technical product legible to the people who buy it. Category and narrative, messaging, launch strategy, and the story that works in a sales room and an investor room. Go-to-market. The commercial engine under the story. Demand generation, pipeline, pricing and packaging, and the reporting that shows what is actually working. AI-native marketing systems. I build the lead engine, the content engine and the live measurement, and your team keeps running them whether I stay or not. Who I do it for: companies in climate, hardware and applied AI that have raised or are backed by private equity, and the investors behind them. Almost always at a moment with a date on it. A launch. A repositioning. A value-creation window where the commercial number has no owner. That comes as a sprint, a fractional build, or an interim mandate. What I bring: Pixel to double-digit market share against Apple and Samsung across the UK, France, Germany and the Nordics. 120% of forecast on a UK launch. 5M incremental revenue from a single ML-driven conversion pilot. 5,000+ companies onto a carbon product within weeks of launch, on no paid spend. £2M+ in budgets, and products used by more than a billion people. Senior to set the strategy, close enough to ship it myself. If the market is reading your company wrong and it is costing you, I would like to hear about it. com
