I make complex B2B tech products win on clarity.

02 / WORK What I do
01

Positioning & messaging

Find the real value buried in the product. Distill it into something a customer, a rep, and an exec can all repeat.

02

GTM & launches

Build the function from zero or scale what's there. Plans that ship, not decks that don't.

03

Hands-on execution

Web, video, enablement, content. I don't hand off the work I architected.

03 / STORY Story

The right information at the right time builds trust.

I started in online marketing 15 years ago, when everyone was just blasting bulk emails. I tripled leads in three months with content – honestly, by giving people something useful before asking for anything.

Co-founded an IoT startup in Dublin. We landed a big Whirlpool logistics pilot. End-to-end work – GTM, branding, sales, U.S. accelerator. I saw how the right information at the right time and clever storytelling change everything.

Then seven years at Scandit, a Swiss computer vision success story. Joined as the second PMM and worked across the whole function – launches, positioning, sales enablement, demo experience. Became a specialist on visual tech storytelling with 100+ product videos. Launched Enterprise Browser and ID scanning (now their second most successful product).

Now I'm building Upwordo with a small team, going AI-native, and picking projects where I can do the same again strip the product to its core, then make it punch above its weight.

Same job every time: make the complex impossible to misread.

05 / ENGAGEMENT How I work
01 / FULL-TIME

Senior PMM or GTM lead.

Build the function or take what's there to the next level. Right for scaleups serious about product marketing.

02 / FRACTIONAL

A few days a week. Embedded.

Owns outcomes, not just advice. Right for early-stage teams that need senior PMM without a full-time hire yet.

03 / CONSULTANCY

Sharp, defined engagements.

Positioning sprint, launch, GTM audit, video production. Right when you need a specific outcome in weeks, not quarters.

Not the right fit: agency-style retainers · deck-only strategy · hype-led work
