How I work

Interim leadership and mandates

What this is

I join a company for six to twelve months as commercial or product director — not as an adviser, but as a manager with real authority and accountability for the outcome.

Situations I take on

  • sales have stalled or are falling and the cause is unclear
  • the commercial director has left and there is no replacement
  • investors or the board are pressing on revenue
  • the company is being prepared for sale and needs its numbers to move
  • there is a sales team, but it performs at a quarter of its potential

How it runs

  • Weeks 1–4: diagnosis — funnel, unit economics, people, product, pricing. Output: a plan and a forecast.
  • Months 2–4: rebuilding — team, incentives, processes, analytics. First growth.
  • Months 5–6: reaching the doubling.
  • Months 7–12: consolidation and handover to a permanent leader, so the result does not unwind after I leave.

How I am paid

A fixed component plus a share of the gross-profit growth, over the mandate period and the six months following it — the effect of rebuilding a sales function shows up with a lag. No growth, and you pay only the fixed part. The specific numbers depend on your revenue and margin: what is fair for a SaaS business is not fair for a distributor.

Who I am not right for

I do not take on companies where the founder is unwilling to hand over the commercial function and keeps running it in parallel. A mandate works when it carries real authority.

First step

Twenty minutes. I look at your situation and tell you plainly whether I see the potential to double. If I do not, I will say so rather than sell you something.

Key aspects of how I consult

I work with the person in charge

Founders, owners, entrepreneurs, chief executives and commercial directors. I work with the people who make the decisions.

I work for the result

The people who work with me are the ones set on a result. Less cheering on, more concrete action.

This is teamwork

You put the work in too, with a clear understanding that without change on your side there will be no result.
