I’m Head of Growth at Assurix, where I own go-to-market strategy and pipeline growth for a vertical B2B SaaS platform serving MSPs.

My focus is building predictable growth engines, turning marketing from a set of activities into a system that leadership can forecast, trust, and invest behind.

I specialise in:

- Go-to-market strategy and positioning in complex B2B markets
- Full-funnel design, from first touch through to pipeline and revenue
- Growth analytics, forecasting, and board-level reporting

Aligning marketing, sales, and product around shared commercial outcomes

Previously, I’ve led growth and performance across global agencies and in-house SaaS teams, managed £1m+ in annual ad spend, and rebuilt inbound funnels to materially increase pipeline contribution and conversion quality.

I’m most effective in businesses that care about evidence over vanity metrics, value long-term commercial thinking, and want growth to be something the whole leadership team can rely on - not just a marketing function.

The decisions that compound fastest are the ones that change who you learn from, what problems you’re close to, and how high the bar is.

I’ve seen a lot of MSPs do the hard work, then lose out because the market can’t tell who’s actually better.

Assurix is changing that, turning security and operational maturity into something that’s visible and provable, not just promised.

Looking forward to building.

Founder & CEO @ Assurix | Proof Not Promises

Your first 10 hires will hire the next 50.

Not on paper.
In behaviour.

They set the defaults:
What "good" looks like. What gets a pass. What gets fixed without drama.

Robert Dodds ran marketing at Netstar when I was there. He's seen what buyers say, what they do, and what they punish MSPs for.

He's now joined Assurix as Head of Growth.

That's the kind of early hire that sets the standard.

This isn't an announcement post.
It's a culture post.

Founders love saying "culture matters"…
then delegate hiring early because they're busy.

You can outsource the admin of hiring.
You can't outsource the consequences.

Who was your best early hire?
And what did everyone else start copying from them?
