Rachel L.

I specialise in identifying the 20% growth lever that unlocks the next £1M–£10M in revenue for scaling SMEs and venture-backed businesses.

Currently advising 50–70 high-growth SMEs across sectors, I diagnose growth bottlenecks, uncover missed revenue opportunities, and help leadership teams prioritise the highest-impact strategic moves. My work consistently helps businesses reduce decision fatigue, shorten sales cycles by up to 50%, and accelerate revenue traction without adding more marketing noise or headcount.

Over the last 20+ years, I’ve supported SaaS, FinTech, Insurance, Manufacturing, Professional Services, Creative Brands and B2B/D2C scale-ups (£2M–£15M ARR) to:
	•	Unlock 100%+ YoY growth by refocusing teams on the highest-converting channels and buyer segments.
	•	Cut Customer Acquisition Costs by 50–75% through intelligent prioritisation (not just more campaigns).
	•	Increase close/win rates by 70% by reshaping positioning and decision-stage touchpoints.
	•	Grow pricing power by 30–60% simply by restructuring value communication and offer architecture.
	•	Create growth readiness frameworks that align founders, boards, and commercial teams around a clear go-to-market path.

My strength lies in clarity, prioritisation, and commercial insight — not in implementation. I bring the discipline of growth diagnostics, board-level enquiry, and revenue clarity mapping so that CEOs and leadership teams make better, faster, more confident decisions.

I’ve advised businesses ranging from mechanical engineering firms to care providers, SaaS platforms, national consumer brands, local high street retail and service businesses and creative product manufacturers — giving me a cross-industry pattern recognition advantage when spotting growth levers others overlook.

🔹 What I bring to the table:
✔ Growth diagnostics and scale-readiness assessments
✔ Strategic oversight for founders and boards
✔ Revenue clarity and commercial prioritisation
✔ Pattern recognition across 10+ industries and 70+ SMEs
✔ Ability to cut through the noise and identify the single highest-value next move

If you’re scaling beyond £1M+ revenue and want to ensure resources, teams, and attention are focused on what will actually move the needle — I bring clarity, challenge, and commercial acceleration.

★ Enthusiastic about wellness, meditation, mindfulness, and personal development. Love skiing, sailing, painting, sketching, yoga, and photography.
