Three selected chapters in my career, from connecting product with enterprise buyers at TeamMate to developing sales and marketing at StandardFusion and building channel partnerships at IT Glue.

Connect product and the buying conversation.

Connect product and the buying conversation.

Associate Director, Product Marketing

As Associate Director, Product Marketing at Wolters Kluwer, I led TeamMate Risk & Compliance messaging and sales enablement for global expansion.

The work

I aligne product, sales and executive teams around a shared enterprise narrative, then develope enablement for complex buying cycles. The aim: a clear central value that teams could use across different markets and stakeholder conversations.

What I take forward

Scale — connect product and buyers.

A message becomes real when other people can use it. The product story, sales conversation and buyer’s understanding need to reinforce each other as the scope grows.

01 / Scale

Build the commercial system.

Director of Sales & Marketing

At StandardFusion, I built the sales function and expanded into sales and marketing leadership, developing the commercial experience as the company moved upmarket.

The work

I built the team, sales stages, pipeline reviews, forecasting rhythm and playbooks. Positioning and digital presence developed alongside them. Product-led and sales-led approaches served different buyer needs, with one goal: remove friction from the next useful step.

What I took forward

System — build the commercial experience.

Growth requires more than a campaign. Team capability, positioning and the buyer’s experience have to develop together. Relevance, trust and timing still matter as channels change.

02 / System

Earn trust through partnerships.

Channel Development Manager

As Channel Development Manager at IT Glue, I built partnerships and expanded into MSP communities across North America through trusted peers, associations and partner groups.

The work

I built relationships with MSP associations and enterprise partner groups, contributing where people already learned and made decisions together. Market understanding, useful conversations and commercial execution worked together: give something useful before asking for attention.

What I took forward

Community — earn trust through partnerships.

Markets are communities before they are funnels. I carried forward a practical habit: connect strategy with the people and relationships that make a market work.
