Founder, Forte Growth · Fractional CRO & CMO · GTM Leader
I build go-to-market departments from scratch. Bain and Accenture, then three CRO and head-of-sales seats, then founder: fifteen years owning the revenue number.
Through Forte Growth I become a company's go-to-market department: positioning, outbound, content that sells, sales process, CRM and the systems underneath. Built in four to five weeks with campaigns live before the build ends, then run and handed over documented so the team owns it.

OMMA: GTM build (Forte Growth)
As Fractional CMO through Forte Growth I built OMMA’s go-to-market function from zero: developing the Reuse > Replace positioning, defining ICPs across the UK, EU and Australia, creating three founder content pillars, and launching a repeatable weekly outbound motion. I implemented 500+ outbound touchpoints in two months and a system that delivered £500K qualified pipeline in eight weeks and 15 demos per month from nothing. The programme also drove 9x inbound interest, 5+ LinkedIn meetings per month, 5 SQLs progressing and had paid for itself by month four.fortegrowth.co

- Forte for Founders - GTM, Sales & Growth Execution for B2B Startups
- We help early-stage founders build go-to-market engines that drive consistent growth.
- After co-founding and scaling Flowla from zero to VC-backed traction, I started Forte to support other founders navigating the messy middle — where product works, but growth is unpredictable.
- Today, I work hands-on with pre-seed to Series B B2B startups as a fractional CRO/ CMO, strategic consultant, or advisor.
- My approach is hands-on, deliver results in 120 days focus, clear milestones yet flexible for every client.
- Who I Work With
- Startups who are:
- doing $100K to $3M ARR but growth has plateaued
- leads and revenue choppy, have traction but need system
- Are juggling too many hats — from founder-led sales to content to fundraising
- Want to scale without hiring 3–5 full-time roles too early
- What I Help With
- Think of me as your GTM cofounder — without the equity ask. I work with you to:
- Define your ICPs and sharpen positioning
- Build founder-led content engines across LinkedIn and newsletters
- Set up scalable outbound using tools like Clay, PhantomBuster, and GPT
- Improve sales messaging, demos, and close rates
- Codify what works into systems, playbooks, and growth loops
- Align GTM to fundraising goals and investor expectations
- Companies I Support
- Check the list below
- Work With Me
- I offer flexible tiers — from advisory and audits to full execution and fractional leadership. I embed with your team, drive momentum fast, and step back once the system is working.
