Available for selected consulting and implementation projects.
Data, CRM, marketing, sales and operations — connected into one system that gives you clearer decisions, better visibility and less manual work.
One customer. Seven systems. Nine days.
Grouped by where each one sits in the chain.
Problems I fix
The biggest issues usually happen between systems, teams and reporting processes.
CRM says one thing. Finance says another. Marketing reports something else.
I create one reliable source of truth.
Teams export files, update spreadsheets, reconcile numbers and rebuild the same reports every week.
I automate the workflow.
You know how much revenue came in, but cannot confidently explain which activity generated it.
I connect marketing and sales activity to revenue.
Leads, calls, follow-ups and customer activity exist, but nobody sees the full journey.
I connect the customer journey.
Three of 8 · names withheld
Three of the problems I have been brought in to solve. Client names are withheld, so each is identified by sector.
30 hrs → 2 hrsper week
A recurring management reporting process relied on manual exports from five platforms, spreadsheet updates, data checks and repeated reconciliation. By the time the numbers were agreed, the week they described was already over.
The workflow was rebuilt around scheduled data pipelines, a modelled reporting layer with agreed KPI definitions, automated validation rules and alerting when a source stops delivering.
Reporting preparation dropped from roughly 30 hours per week to around 2 hours of review and validation. Numbers now arrive before the meeting instead of after it.
One customer.One view.
CRM records, call activity, marketing source data and payment history lived in four systems. Nobody could answer a simple question — what actually happened with this customer — without opening four tabs and guessing.
Lead, call, opportunity and payment signals were resolved to a single customer identity, cleaned of duplicates, and combined into one unified view with follow-up quality and pipeline movement made visible.
Sales teams and management gained one clear picture of customer activity, follow-up and opportunity status — including the leads that had never been contacted at all.

Marketing → Revenueend to end
Marketing spend, lead activity and closed revenue were held in separate systems with inconsistent campaign naming. Channel performance was argued about monthly and never settled.
Campaign, lead, opportunity and payment data were connected through one attribution model, with enforced naming standards, validated tracking and revenue joined back to the original acquisition source.
Management could finally see which channels and campaigns were contributing revenue rather than volume — and move budget on evidence instead of opinion.

Same spend, redistributed. The channel with the largest budget was not the channel producing the revenue.
Positioning
Every one of these people is good at their job. None of them is responsible for what happens in the gap after it.
Nobody is hired to own a seam. That is the part I take.

Every engagement ends up looking like some version of this. The names change; the shape rarely does.
Four stages. Each one ends with something you can see, use or hand to your team.
Understand what is broken, unclear, duplicated or unnecessarily manual.
Ends withA written map of your systems, data gaps and the cost of each one.

You do not need to manage the technical details. That is part of the job.
I work directly with businesses that need senior-level data, analytics and automation capability without building another internal department.
My work combines business intelligence, marketing analytics, CRM architecture, automation and system integration.
I am most useful when the problem crosses multiple platforms, teams or data sources and needs someone who can understand both the business problem and the technical implementation.

Commercial Director
B2B training group
We stopped arguing about whose number was right. That sounds small. It changed how the whole leadership meeting runs.
02
Head of Sales
Subscription fintech
The first two weeks were uncomfortable — he showed us leads we had paid for and never contacted. Then he built the thing that makes sure it cannot happen again.
03
Marketing Operations Manager
Multi-brand e-commerce
Monday used to cost me a full day of exports and formatting. Now I spend twenty minutes checking a report that built itself overnight.
04
Chief Operating Officer
Professional services firm
He is the only external person we have worked with who understood the Salesforce side and the finance side well enough to make them agree with each other.
I work best with growing businesses where operational complexity has started to outgrow spreadsheets and disconnected tools.
Best fit if you
Probably not a fit
Best suited to projects where the problem crosses more than one system.
That is usually where I can help.
Tell me what is not working, what is still manual, or what you cannot currently see clearly. If it is not something I should take on, I will tell you that too.
