CEO & Founder

On a mission to help others rethink how they deliver value to the world.

OMG... She said YES! 💍
I'm not even joking. I proposed. And she accepted.
Stay with me here...

Over two years ago, I started using Sybill in a previous role. 
Within weeks, I cancelled the other platform. Done. Gone. No looking back.

Since then, if you've been following me, you'll know I haven't exactly been quiet about it. 

I've shared post after post about how Sybill has genuinely transformed how I operate... as a leader, a consultant, a business owner, and honestly, as someone who just wants to spend less time on admin and more time on the work that actually matters.

So when we decided to launch our exclusive event series, both virtual and in-person, there was really only one conversation to have.

I reached out to Sybill. 

Not through a sponsorship deck (that came later). 
Not through an agency. 

Through a relationship I'd built organically, over two years, by simply loving the product and saying so publicly.

And now I'm genuinely proud to announce that Sybill is the official sponsor of Decisions & Dinner - our International Women's Month event on 11th March in London.

Why Sybill?
Female co-founder.
Female leader.
Female AI assistant who keeps rocking my world.
Need I say more?

Fine, I will. An incredible platform that is truly market-leading in the revenue intelligence space. 

If you're in sales, revenue leadership, or GTM and you haven't tried it yet — I genuinely don't know what you're waiting for.

(you can try it using the link in the comments and YES, I will get a commission as it's a referral link)

Fun fact: This partnership was built entirely on organic love for the solution. 
So nice to see this come to fruition.

31 senior women in revenue leadership. One evening. One room. One incredible partner. (plus a growing waiting list because I forgot to close it!)

See you on the 11th. 🥂

GTM Operator & Consultant for B2B Companies | Female Owned Firm | Proud 🏳️‍🌈 Mummy | ENTJ

We hosted our first ever in-person event for Revenue Leaders
Now I'm addicted! It was just perfect. 

Thank you to Sybill for being the most incredible, easy, flexible and intentional partner to work with. Collin Mayjack and Kate Garvey you are everything.

I'm just having a moment to take it all in.

You know it's a great night when
↳No one is on their phones
↳There's no awkward silences
↳Everyone stays until the end
↳You need Claire Thomas to hit the wine glass to stop everyone from talking.

When there are more hugs than handshakes
More general & intentional conversation than forced networking

Great food and drinks as always The Folly Bar!

Yesterday we made decisions. 
Today we take action.

To the amazing women in the room...thank you for sharing your evening with us. Thank you for the laughs, the banter and the advice.

Until next time?

“I’m not standing up for you” that’s what some guy said to me when I was about 6.5 months pregnant on the Victoria line. 

(Excuse my swearing and incorrect use of the English language - but I was so angry today) 

If you see a woman with a badge saying “baby on board…”

That is your SIGNAL to get up!

It’s that simple. 

No debates. 

No questions. 

No opinions. 

No extra data and research needed. 

Just get up!

About 80% of my followers are in the B2B world. I can guess that about 10% feel comfortable having an open conversation about GTM Strategy from a first principles perspective.

Do you know why this is?

For the most part, it's never really taught.

But also, there are so many books on Strategy that can make you feel pretty overwhelmed by what the heck you're actually supposed to do.

But no worries - I geek out on this everyday so you don't have to.

I've got another video for you - dropping very soon!

Pen and paper at the ready - it's about to get real!

Haven't joined me on Youtube yet? It's free game.

See you there...(link in the comments)

Not only is it International Women's Day #iwd2026, but It's also Revenue Funnel's 3rd birthday. 

3 years ago, after giving so much to others, I decided to give something to myself - grace, faith and an unwavering belief that I could create something of my own.

Consulting is a ridiculously competitive space.

You're competing with the big firms
The small firms
The job in-betweeners
The "I can guanrantee-ers"
The "ex-ooglers" et al

You're competing with the clients who tempt you back into security.
You're competing with the governments change of policy that is typically rooted in taking more from you.

Yet, I've paid my own bills - and others - for 3 years. This was only possible because my GTM journey started with giving. 

My time, my expertise... on platforms like this.

So many women inspire me daily. Most of you know who you are.

My mum is the single most influential woman in my life...my girlfriend comes a close second.

When you witness someone do daily, what almost feels impossible, you build that same capacity for growth and action.

Today, it's taken me a little longer than usual to get my words together. But I'm just in a place of gratitude.

I've also got something up my sleeve...but you'll have to wait a little while to find out what that is. 

Feeling thankful for this #workmilestone

I've attempted to write 4 posts today. This is what I've come up with

.

Customer: "How much pipeline coverage do you recommend?"
Me: "It depends"

This happens a lot on Leadership calls with clients.

That's why I thought I'd do what I do best - talk about it with my whiteboard!

New one dropping this week. If you have not subscribed to my Youtube - why not? 

Someone left this comment recently: "This is fast becoming a go-to channel. Learning a lot from these"

If I can impact 1 person a day then I'm winning!

Link in the comments.

If there’s one thing that reliably sits on a revenue leader’s to-do list, it’s this: How the hell do we speed up the sales cycle?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot and recorded a new video with a few practical ideas.

Warning.... I was hungry while recording it, which will make sense once you start watching.

The core issue is that many go-to-market decisions are made in isolation, without considering how sales, marketing, and customer teams actually interact.

As a result, many companies unintentionally create the very delays they’re trying to eliminate.

New video dropping this weekend.

If I was parachuted into a B2B company tomorrow to run a 20-30 person revenue team, my first 30 days wouldn't be about ripping everything up. 

It would be about getting real, fast.

1. Open my doors to be sold to (free market intelligence).

2.Get out of the building (meet customers, prospects, and peers weekly).

3.Ruthlessly audit our GTM (prioritise by biggest revenue impact, first).

4.Build a team focused on the future (hunt for moonshots, make failure a data point).

5.Sign up for an AI course & get a coach (because you don't know what you don't know).

6.Mandate rest (one day of breathing can add five days of pure productivity).

7.Keep the team lean & augmented (mandate AI use, add fractional talent for speed).

8.Challenge our own timelines (make people defend the long timeline, not the short one).

9.Create a space people want to be in (environment shapes energy).

10.Open up regular town halls (every two weeks, every voice is heard).

I've broken down the 'why' behind each of these in the carousel below. Swipe through for the full breakdown.

What would you do?

Revenue Leader of 2026

This doesn't make sense to me at all.
Almost 10 years of consulting, workshops, training & events.
18 years in B2B SaaS GTM roles...and huh?

Since launching Revenue Funnel in 2023 I've met 1 on 1 with over 200 GTM Experts. I say Experts because these are people who have been there and done it. 

I mean launched billion dollar divisions
Scaled and exited handsomely (or beautifully because it's IWD after all)
worn every hat
Owned huge P&Ls
Been Division MD's/CEOs

When I run these workshops, do consulting, and I meet people at SaaS companies...they ALL have issues they need solving.

Some lack the expertise
Some lack the time
Some don't even know they have a problem and it's not always my place to say. I mean we're at a networking event sipping 0% Heineken 

YET. This is where it gets weird

The SaaS company needs a little help and they go out hunting through their network, slack communities, google and now the LLMs.... and think ah forget it.

The Experts are like....are you for real, I've literally built and exited companies and I'm going through feast or famine? It doesn't make sense.

I felt it. It annoyed me. So I made an apple note (I always use dictate - don't judge me).

That was the business plan LOL. But we started building emails, then spreadsheets, then slack (for about a day), then a web platform (failed), then Skool....and then we finally made it make sense.

So I guess today is the day we let people know about Symbiotic-IO.

#GTMExperts #GTMhelp #IWD2026

Most GTM strategies are built on the assumption that everyone knows the goals and therefore they'll make a plan.

They live in slide decks, disconnected from the day-to-day work of sales and marketing and the broader team.

That's why I'm excited to announce the second event in our Expert Series: The GTM Strategy Blueprint.

This is a practical, no-nonsense session for CEOs and revenue leaders who are tired of "this is what we're doing ideas" that don't translate into growth.

Join me and Shannon Plumb on Wednesday, March 25th as we unpack five critical lessons for building a go-to-market strategy that actually works. We'll cover how to:

↳Move beyond the slide deck and connect strategy to execution.
↳Challenge alignment, ownership, and execution across your GTM teams.
↳Ask the right questions to diagnose the structural problems holding back your growth.

This is a decision-level session for leaders with P&L responsibility. Registration is required.

The GTM Strategy Blueprint — build a strategy that actually drives growth

There are lies we've accepted in B2B. 
Because they were repeated so often, by enough credible people, that we stopped questioning them.

They became "best practice."

And now they're embedded in how we build GTM Strategy & motions, how we train sellers, and how we think about buyers.

I'm calling out three.

Then tell me — which other GTM lies would you add to the list?

GTM Lies We've Accepted - Revenue Funnel

It’s Saturday. 
Come on people we gotta chill!
Check your inbox and sign out! 

😂

Weekend doom scrolling LinkedIn. Is just….

Crazy but here we are

Maybe we all need a WhatsApp group chat 😂

My son wants me to play Roblox again… people I am OVER IT!

You're about 6 months away from having to build an extremely strong business case for hiring more reps to support your growth...

It's very odd that posts like these are seen as fear-mongering. We can reduce fear when we are prepared.

Over the last month I've dedicated time to building an agent team, and wow! I'm not even finished yet and it's very clear that the GTM team of the future will look a little different.

Inbound SDRs?....start up-skilling Qualified and ASPR AI are already whispering in your leaders ears - as they should

Outbound SDRs?...start up-skilling if the majority of your success comes from channels outside of the phone. You may struggle to compete with Agentic Amy who seems to know everything, always

Mid-market sales reps...up-skill. Specifically around agentic workflows - you will be extremely hard to fire if you know how to create your own team mate. Easier to hire when you've built an app that you show during your interview

Enterprise reps?....up-skill. Now, this is more to do with the experience & execution. How fast and accurately can you de-risk the decision for a decision making unit? 

Enterprise reps, you're at risk if the business inflates costs for growth and the sales cycles keep slowing down. Challenge hiring decisions by proving to your Leader that you've leveraged AI to plug holes.

Sales Leaders? Yeah, so here's the thing. Stop managing numbers - leave that to AI. This is about visionary leadership - finding what's not been done before and excellent coaching.

Sales Leaders, we gotta let agentic AI help us build the strategy - ego aside - it's there to be curated by your experience and knowledge - your ride or die. You'll be managing reps that manage....AI, so you need to know enough to be dangerous. When a workflow collapses, you gotta be able to at least point to why.

CSMs....C...S...Ms....you'll no longer need to answer repetitive, draining, "put this fire out questions" and you'll have a partner that takes a lot of weight off your shoulders. AI has to help you act and think more strategically. You are a part of your customer's teams now. Use agentic AI on their behalf to help drive more value through your solutions.

Marketing...copywriters? let's be real now. Designers? Yes, if they are exceptional. It's not that you're wiping out your team - it's not that kind of post. But shrinking? Yes. You need 1-2 people to be FT building and overseeing agentic teams for each core skill.

This isn't about a clay workflow.  It's deeper than that.

Things you need to consider
- Model structure - not all LLMs are created equally and therefore must be used differently to help manage costs
- Costs - agents aren't free. However, they will be a fraction of the cost of a FT hire in particular skills
- Time - you're still "hiring & onboarding" this time it's building & contextualising. It takes time, but when it's done once? CTRL+V
- Customer appetite - you don't get a choice. AI is convenient.... (cont in comments)

A B2B love story.

It started over two years ago. 
I was in a different role, drowning in admin, and someone said "have you tried Sybill?" I logged in. 
I haven't looked back since.

I cancelled the other platform that same week. 
Gone. 
No drama. 

And then I genuinely could not stop talking about her. 

If you've been following me for any length of time, you already know this. Post after post after post. 
Sybill is amazing. 
Game changer. 
Try Sybill. 
I was that person. I still am.

So when it came time to find a partner for our first ever Decisions & Dinner event - an evening for senior women in revenue leadership - there was only one conversation to have.
I asked. She said yes.

On March 11th, we celebrated. 
23 incredible women around one table at The Folly in London. 
Honest conversations about GTM strategy, money, leadership, AI, and all the things we don't say out loud enough. 
It was magical. 

And now? The honeymoon.

𝗢𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵, I'm doing a live walkthrough of exactly how I use Sybill to run Revenue Funnel and now Symbiotic-IO. 

Whether you were at the dinner or you're hearing about this for the first time - you're invited.

Ps. We've also created a Purchase Probability Score that you can add directly to your calls to help with deal qualification, follow up and forecasting. (it's basically Sybill throwing you the 💐!)

Sybill the best revenue intelligence platform

Today is the start of the Sistas In Sales Aspiring Sellers Summit.
In 2008, after graduating university, I was not an aspiring seller.
I was a "I need to make some money"...graduate

Sales was not on my radar
Sales was....what even was it?
Sales to me was when you go to the shop to spend your pocket money and the person at the register takes your money

I couldn't "do" sales
I was looking for a place to apply my new found knowledge on international crime and policy

Sales wasn't the place for me.

But after 6 months in my first sales role. I realised it was everything I needed - oh and it paid....comsission!!!

We think sales is just Target + Inputs = outputs (targets achieved)
But it ends up being
Targets....yes, but
Inputs = skills development, networking building, business acumen, confidence, relationships, personal brand, internal equity, opportunities...

Even before the intended outputs of simply hitting your target.

No time spent in sales is wasted. You learn and gain something through every activity, every action.

I'd choose sales everyday because it's the career that just keeps on giving

For me it's been
Rep - leader - consultant - company founder - tech founder 

Im excited to be moderating a fantastic panel today on The Human Skills AI Can't Replace!

I'm more excited to inspire the next generation of salespeople who look and sound like me.

There was nobody in my corner that looked like me in 2008. It was just me trying to figure out how to contain my authentic self so I didn't get "outed" as not belonging.

Join, share and be part of the movement. Here's to little Hannah 👩🏽‍🎓

full://stack.founder/Building=The_Startupverse&role=CEO=true&company=RadHash

Lorde Astor West is a technology entrepreneur, systems architect, and founder building the infrastructure layer beneath the next generation of software companies. She is the Founder and CEO of RadHash, an AI-native operating system designed to eliminate the "messy middle" that quietly kills most startups between MVP and scale.

With more than two decades in software, Lorde has led or contributed to hundreds of production systems across industries including fintech, payments, healthcare, marketplaces, media, logistics, and regulated data environments. Her work focuses on a single, persistent problem: why most software fails after early traction—and how to design systems that survive real-world growth.

Lorde is known for seeing structural failure modes early. Long before “vibe coding,” no-code sprawl, and AI wrappers became mainstream, she identified the invisible cliff where startups lose eligibility for scale, capital, and exits due to fragile architecture. RadHash was built to address that moment directly—shipping the majority of a company’s production stack on day one, with rules legible to both humans and machines.

Her approach sits at the intersection of architecture, economics, and human judgment. Rather than chasing trends, she builds foundations: predictable systems, composable infrastructure, and software that can be safely extended by AI without collapsing under its own weight. Today, RadHash supports pilots across dozens of industries and countries, serving founders who are rebuilding real companies—not demos.

Beyond RadHash, Lorde is building a broader ecosystem focused on founder durability: vertical operating systems, embedded payments and financial products, AI trained on real operator behavior, and an on-demand fractional workforce designed for early-stage execution. Each business is autonomous, but designed to interoperate—mirroring how resilient systems work in the real world.

Lorde is also a vocal critic of fast-fashion software, performative metrics, and narratives that mistake speed for progress. She writes and speaks candidly about power dynamics in venture, the myth of “too early,” and why most startup failures are decided long before the market ever weighs in.

At her core, she is a builder. She believes software should last, founders should own their foundations, and technology should reduce risk—not disguise it.

Her long-term ambition: to reset how companies are built, financed, and scaled—by making durable infrastructure the default instead of the exception.

New trend.... #SelfieFriday. Let's keep it business casual. "Optimizing" for #FlashbackFriday

Founder/CEO, RadHash | f*ck “Fast-fashion SaaS” | build durable apps with Hash OSX the self-hosted operating layer for agentic businesses | Raising $5M

I’m sick of tech leaders laying of thousands they acquired during the hoard hiring run and calling it AI layoffs while running operations and legacy tech stacks that fall apart the second AI touches them.

Business Transformation Consultant- A focus on pragmatic use of AI and how it impacts culture, workflows and business structure | Author | Keynote Speaker | Trainer | 4 x LinkedIn #1 Voice in Marketing

I'm honestly fed up with tech leaders stepping onto stages and cheerfully declaring that AI is about to obliterate jobs, especially entry-level ones, while spreading massive fear, paranoia, distrust, and hopelessness across hundreds of millions of people.

The impact is real and unprecedented in its emotional toll.

What frustrates me most? 
Many of these leaders don't seem to fully believe their own rhetoric. 

Take Anthropic: their CEO has warned that AI could wipe out half of entry-level white-collar jobs in the coming years, yet they're actively hiring across engineering, research, recruiting, and more roles.

If they truly thought SaaS was dead or entry-level talent irrelevant, why keep building on it and posting openings?

If Advertising is all to be done by AI, why doesn't OpenAI use it to make their own ads?  If Marketing is so easy to do with AI, why does ChatGPT have the worst naming convention anyone has ever devised.

Yes, AI is profoundly transformative. 

It will reshape the workforce in complex, uneven ways.

Yes, we should be open eyed, cautious, agile, aware.

But what's truly sickening is how the Overton window has shifted: it's now somehow TOTALLY FINE to terrify hundreds of millions, just to hype valuations, raise funds, or sound "visionary."

Where are the PR teams, advisors, or peers saying, 
"Hey Guys, doesn't this make us seem like total sociopaths?"

"Errr, hello, this sounds  misanthropic, why are we throwing humans under the bus here?" 

We have a generation of leaders with unprecedented power to motivate and unite people around building a better future. Instead, they seem determined to trash talk humanity's potential, to line their pockets

This isn't okay. It needs calling out.

AI can amplify human ingenuity, create new opportunities, and solve massive problems, 

How about we lead with responsibility and optimism, guidance, wisdom, context, empowerment, not doomscrolling headlines.

I'd rather be aware and not blinded, but optimistic not terrified hopeless. 
Lets bet on Humanity 

What do you think?

A mistake a lot of first time entrepreneurs make. 

They get a little success
buy a bunch of expensive crap

Big house
Vacations
Expensive car
Expensive Clothes

and then have to work twice as hard to keep it. 

Then bad times hit
Keeping up becomes impossible
And they lose it all

Here's my advice. 

Bank your success

Instead of buying fancy stuff. 
Put it back into your business.
Into more revenue producing assets

That way it's an investment
You increase your revenue
You keep your personal costs low

You're happy

This is too real - AGI is that you??? EVERY . SINGLE . DEVELOPER wants to full on rewrite the last guys code because “It sucks”. Now AI is doing it too. [that’s the joke]

Investor | CEO AskSLM: Decentralized Full-Stack Sovereign AI as Infrastructure Platform for Secure, Air-Gapped, Local, Private & Compliant AI Execution

Everyone’s screaming that AI coding is the future. “SaaS is dead, AI will build everything, Engineers are obsolete” Blah Blah Blah 

Then an internal AI assistant decides existing production code is inadequate and deletes it so parts of Amazon Web Services (AWS) go down for 13 hours.

Writing code is easy but Operating production systems is hard and Governing execution is even harder. 

AI autocomplete ≠ Operational intelligence
Code generation ≠ System reliability
Speed ≠ Accountability

Markets are selling SaaS & Cybersecurity Stock like AI replaces engineering overnight. As if vibe code generation equals a substitute for operational systems, automation equals governance, and production risk disappears because a model can autocomplete. The reality is writing code is not the same as owning execution.

Fundraising is a great experience. It will make or break you.

It will uncover your weaknesses, 
It will tear you down, 

But if you're up for it, 
It will teach you how to build yourself back up

I would suggest this to anyone who wants to level up
And see what they are made of

Even if you're not planning on taking on investors.

Maybe give this sweet baby girl a second thought... #LoveABull #AdoptAPittie

Founder, DemandJen | Sales Trainer & SKO Keynote Speaker | Dog Rescue Advocate

Meet Mara 🩷

She’s a 7 year old, 59lb girl with the most gentle demeanor (especially with kids). 

Dogs like Mara always have a harder time getting adopted. She’s older + she’s a pittie mix. It doesn’t make her any less deserving of love. 

Every dog should be judged by their own demeanor. Not breed sterotypes.

We have a husky who never makes a peep and is scared of his own shadow.

We have a pittie who would throw herself in front of a bus to protect our kids. 

Mara is calm, easygoing, walks nicely on a leash, and does amazing in daycare. She’s a complete love.

Mara deserves a loving family. Will you help share her? 🩷

A VC said. "It looks difficult". 

Because it is. 

No matter if
Automated and prompt generated 

There are no magic bullets

Software development is difficult. 
Automating software development is harder

Building generalized infrastructure
Inventing universal common components

Modularizing
Encapsulating
Creating rules

System thinking 
In multi-dimensional universes

Then delivering this in a coherent way
That can be utilized by any friend or foe
Without much of a learning curve

Software automation does not start with code automation
It starts with strong generalized foundations
Than anyone can build on
To deliver products

I had every intention of working today but instead I worked in the garden, K-Drama'd and chilled, took a nap, woke up to WWIII, helped dig a trench. Today was swell. Tomorrow muck the chicken house and maybe more hole digging. What are you up to this fine weekend? What's good.

What if what you were working on was truly unique. I've heard it a million times. No idea is novel. But what if yours was... And it wasn't just novel, it was relevant, on time, and in demand. What if your proof was irrefutable.
