Advisory

I spent 30+ years running my own businesses, including a HubSpot Diamond Partner agency that worked with Red Bull, Specsavers, Aardman and Yeo Valley, which I built and sold. So when I sit at your table I am not theorising. I have carried a bag, run the teams, missed the number and learned why. Advisory is the senior seat: board-level challenge, commercial leadership without a full-time hire, or hands-on upskilling for the people who actually use HubSpot every day.

Three Ways I Sit Alongside You:

1. Non Exec Director: The awkward questions, asked early, in the room where they matter. I bring board-level challenge on commercial strategy, sales and marketing, and where the revenue is really coming from. Not a rubber stamp. The person who says the thing nobody else will.
2. Fractional Commercial Director: Own the commercial number without hiring a full-time director for it. I take responsibility for how marketing and sales work together around profit, set the operating model, and hold the team to it. For clients who prefer the American title, this is the VP of RevOps seat.
3. Trainer & Mentor: Your team will outlast me, so the point is to make them better, not to make them need me. I train and mentor sales and marketing people to actually use HubSpot, by building alongside them rather than handing over a slide deck. They learn by doing the real work, with me next to them.

Build capacity, not dependency. Training happens through doing. We work together over months, you learn by building alongside me, and at the end you own it. The opposite of a consultant who makes themselves permanently necessary.

Skin in the game. 30+ years running my own businesses means I have lived every decision I will ask you to make. The wins and the expensive lessons. You get both.
