Pre-Sales Leadership & Fractional Strategy

Building high-volume Lead Generation & Pre-Sales engines.

I bring an engineer's analytical rigour to B2B & B2C outbound lead generation, automated prospect enrichment, and pre-sales deal architecture — specializing in B2B SaaS, service-based private markets, and global account expansion.

From structuring multi-channel cold email & LinkedIn outreach cadences to conducting enterprise solution demos through to delivering Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs) and managing commercial proposal handoffs, I engineer dependable sales pipelines that consistently convert targeted prospects into booked meetings.
