About Chris
I’m a marketing expert, fractional CMO, and freelance marketing director specialising in driving measurable growth for businesses, from start-ups through to scale-ups and enterprise clients globally. My approach is focused on partnering with founders and leadership teams who recognise the need for a transformative shift in their marketing. Working across strategy, execution, and continuous optimisation, I bring the insights and processes needed to drive meaningful change and accelerate growth.
With extensive experience collaborating with businesses backed by leading investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, LocalGlobe, Kinnevik, and Hg Capital, I understand the expectations and growth pressures that come with high-stakes environments. My process begins with a deep-dive discovery phase to unpack your unique value proposition, audience, and goals, allowing for a tailored strategy that aligns with your business’s specific growth trajectory.
After a clear, data-driven strategy is developed, I oversee a structured execution phase, leveraging a combination of high-impact campaigns and tactical adjustments to meet and exceed targets. Alongside your team, I focus on building marketing capabilities that are not only effective today but set a foundation for sustainable growth in the future.
