Artefact Ventures

Most SMEs are drowning in data but starving for insights.

As a Revenue Intelligence consultant at Artefact Ventures, I cut through the noise to show you exactly where your growth is hiding.

Here's what happens when we work together:

I don't just analyze your numbers—I decode what your customers are actually telling you. Most consultants give you frameworks and leave. 
I give you frameworks + the intelligence to make them work.

My consulting approach:

→ Revenue Leak Detection: I find the gaps where your money is disappearing (usually 20-30% of potential revenue)
→ Customer Intelligence Mapping: I show you which customers convert and why (not just who buys)
→ GTM Alignment: I get your sales, marketing, and ops teams speaking the same language
→ System Implementation: I build you a revenue engine that runs without you babysitting it

The difference? Other consultants give you reports. I give you systems that keep working after I'm gone.

Bottom line: If you're a $20-70M SME tired of guessing where your next growth will come from, let's talk. I'll show you exactly where it's hiding in your data.

What's the difference between SMEs that scale and those that stay stuck?

It's the one thing 99% of business leaders overlook:
→ Revenue Intelligence.

Most SMEs have the ambition to grow, but they're flying blind. They don't know which customers convert, which programs actually drive revenue, or where their growth engine is leaking.

My mission? Transform SME guesswork into growth clarity.

Beyond business: I'm an astrophotography enthusiast (there's something about capturing distant galaxies that puts growth challenges in perspective) and love hiking mountains over beaches. Favorite destinations: Hawaii, Croatia, Ecuador, Switzerland.

Remember: Your competition can copy your products, your pricing, even your marketing. But they can't copy your customer intelligence.

So stop grinding in the dark.
Start growing with clarity.
