I am looking for the next step in my commercial leadership journey and would like to combine my experience and passion in health and performance and get involved with a P&E/VC organisation focusing on preventative health SaaS.
Seeking a VP or Chief Customer Officer opportunity in a high-growth B2B SaaS business that needs a strategic, hands-on leader who stays close to customers and the operational detail, and brings clarity to ambiguity. Throughout my career, I’ve built and led post-sales teams and operating models that drive predictable onboarding, adoption, renewals and expansion, while developing leaders and helping people build successful careers.
I’m looking for a fractional Sales Director role with a PE-backed or founder-led business where short-term revenue impact, sales execution discipline, and long-term GTM scalability are required without adding permanent headcount.
