I’m a GTM and Revenue Operations leader focused on turning AI, data and commercial systems into measurable growth and productivity in regulated environments.

More

I build operating models, governance and adoption programmes that move organisations from pilots to day-to-day use across CRM, analytics and seller workflows. I’ve led global RevOps and commercial transformation across enterprise and high-growth SaaS, spanning CRM/marketing automation, data quality, forecasting, enablement and executive reporting. Most recently, I’ve deployed Copilot-based “sales companion” agents that translate approved product and competitive knowledge into account playbooks and field guidance. I’m also the creator of the Context Transfer Protocol (CTP), an open JSON standard for portable, auditable AI context: com/context-transfer-protocol/ctp-spec
