Strong products don’t always turn into strong businesses. I’ve seen it from all possible sides — groomed in category-defining SaaS (ex-UiPath, ex-Microsoft-acquired Softomotive) and raised in startups chasing their first €100k.

I engage as a Marketing, Growth, or GTM leader who's worn the founder scars. I help teams move past founder-led sales, win enterprise customers, and prepare for PLG by aligning positioning, pipeline, and operating systems around measurable revenue outcomes. 🚧 products stall, but Not because they lack potential. More often because: ▪️Pipelines leak ▪️Positioning is unclear ▪️Go-to-market systems are frittle With 15+ years in operational trenches, most of them in B2B SaaS democratizing AI and automation — from UiPath and Softomotive (acquired by Microsoft) to gritty, early-stage, startups — I’ve seen this pattern everywhere. And I’ve spent a career fixing it. ⚡ I break the cycle by building growth engines that last, meaning: ▪️GTM strategies that connect roadmap to revenue ▪️Pipeline & demand gen systems that don’t bleed budget ▪️Onboarding & adoption programs that elevate & shorten time-to-value ▪️Content-led growth that translates complex AI into market building reputation and reach 📈 Scars & stats 🚀 Launched global products → multi-million ARR impact 🏗️ Rebuilt demand engines → 3× pipeline efficiency, lower CAC ✅ Designed onboarding → faster adoption & retention ⚠️ Founded ventures in NLP + deep-tech: secured funding, awards, and IP — but fell short chasing tech hype without customer fit, and not being able to recruit technically. ⚠️ Learned the hard way that free signups ≠ PLG. 🦾 When to call me If your growth feels stuck due to : Wrestling to move beyond founder-led sales Chasing enterprise deals with fragile or loss-making margins Dreaming of PLG but unable to convert free trials I help strengthen the operational backbone — aligning product, marketing, and revenue—so growth isn’t just faster, but durable. Let’s talk.
