§ 01 · Point of view

“Most revenue problems aren’t pipeline problems. They’re architecture problems. The system is the strategy.

The instinct, when revenue stalls, is to add more — more reps, more sequences, more tooling, more pipeline reviews. It rarely works because the constraint isn’t volume. It’s the way the system is wired.

The companies that compound revenue treat their GTM motion like an engineered product. Inputs are observed. Friction is measured. The model is updated when reality argues with it. That requires a different kind of leadership than “more deals, faster.”

I work with founders and operators who’ve outgrown a generic VP of Sales and aren’t ready — or shouldn’t be — to commit a full-time CRO. The point of the engagement is to leave the system functioning better than I found it, with the people you already have.

§ 02 · The work
What you actually
get in an engagement.

Not a deck.
Not a workshop.
A revenue motion.

I run revenue. Operationally, not advisory.

In an engagement, my approach is invisible to the customer. What they experience is a CRO who unsticks their procurement cycles, gets pilots into production, and turns governance questions into commercial advantages your competitors are too disorganized to claim.

The work shows up where it matters: forecast accuracy, enterprise deals closed, renewals expanded, and a GTM motion that runs without me in the room. The revenue is the deliverable.

The first ninety days
How an engagement
actually runs.
Days 1–30

Find.

I’m looking for the actual constraint. Where deals stall. Which buyers close, which don’t. What the GTM team can say in thirty seconds about the buyer’s real problem. Where the forecast lies. Who the real veto in the buying committee is. Pipeline forensics, not pipeline review.

Days 30–60

Architect.

A revenue motion designed around the buying conversation, not against it. Qualification rebuilt around the accountable buyer. Pricing and packaging aligned to procurement reality. Demo and discovery tightened around what actually closes. Pipeline review discipline established. Forecast cadence that produces accuracy, not theater.

Days 60–90

Hand back.

A GTM motion that runs without me in the meeting. Senior commercial hires made or the gap clearly named. Forecast discipline the founder can defend to the board. The redesigned revenue motion as standard practice, not as my project.

§ 03 · Framework
Six workstreams.
One operating model.

The Revenue
Architecture System™.

The framework that drives the work. Six integrated workstreams — strategy, ICP, messaging, sales process, pipeline, refinement — diagnosed, rebuilt, and transferred to your team across a 60- to 90-day arc.

The six workstreams
Workstream 01

GTM Strategy & Playbook

Possible buyers vs. winnable buyers.

Messaging & Positioning

Urgency over curiosity.

Workstream 04

Sales Process & Tech Stack

Discipline the CRM can’t create.

Workstream 05

Executive Pipeline Development

Conversations that qualify.

Workstream 06

Ongoing Strategy & Refinement

Evidence over opinions.

Built for the intersection of
revenue and intelligence.

Twenty years in enterprise GTM — carrying number at Oracle; leading sales motions across North America and EMEA at Hitachi Consulting, Slalom Build, and Launch by NTT DATA; building the GTM at Verdant AI; and now operating as Fractional CRO for two AI-native companies scaling across Europe.

The through-line is a single bet: that the companies who win the AI cycle won’t be the ones with the best demos. They’ll be the ones who built the revenue architecture — positioning, deal mechanics, comp, qualification, AI-assisted execution — to convert curiosity into committed contracts at scale.

I’m shaping thought leadership for Fortune 500 buyers, stood up AI agent practices, and shipped enterprise deals across three continents. I’ve also watched promising products die because the GTM motion wasn’t designed for the buyer they actually had. That’s the work I’m most interested in now: the architectural call before the first hire, not the cleanup after.

Currently based in Paris, physically embedded in the Paris market.

Ways to engage
Tier 01

Diagnostic

A focused assessment across the six workstreams. Finds the constraint to fix first.

Tier 02

Build

60- to 90-day buildout of the highest-priority workstreams. The architecture phase.

Tier 03

Fractional CRO

Senior commercial leadership through execution. Ongoing operating engagement.

One seat open
for H2 2026.

We start with a focused diagnostic — a short engagement to find the real constraint. Scope flows from what we find, not from a packaged offer. The founders I work best with already suspect the system is the bottleneck and want a senior partner, not a contractor.

The first conversation.

Thirty minutes. No pitch, no deck. If there’s a fit, we’ll know by the end of it. If there isn’t, you’ll leave with a clearer read on the constraint than you arrived with.
