About Chris

I’m a fractional Head of Growth and Go-To-Market strategist helping impact-driven B2B companies scale revenue with clear, repeatable systems.

I run my own growth consultancy, partnering with start-ups and scale-ups to design clear messaging, install lead and demand generation engines, and optimise sales processes to increase pipeline quality and close rates.

My experience spans climate tech, green SaaS and other mission-led B2B sectors that need hands-on support bridging strategy and execution - especially where in-house teams need guidance to deliver more consistent commercial results.

I typically step in 2–3 days a week as an interim growth leader - shaping GTM strategy, mentoring marketing teams, and delivering measurable pipeline growth.

Recent projects include supporting Blu Banyan’s SolarSuccess (solar ERP) and producing a sector whitepaper and podcast interviewing over 60 impact-focused founders about their revenue bottlenecks and growth systems.

  • LeadFocus:
    Head of account management & SEO
    April 2020 - December 2021 (1 year and 8 months)
    During the COVID-19 lockdowns, I helped my brother setup a lead-generation & SEO agency. The agency mainly served professional SMEs and provided full-service online marketing for them, with a focus on driving traffic, conversions & ultimately, revenue from their online presences. As a bootstrapped, family start-up, this role was incredibly varied, starting off with prospecting, identifying good leads, sales, on-boarding & strategy creation for clients. Once the agency matured a little, I switched into more of an account and stakeholder management role that included being responsible for delivering SEO, lead generation and eCommerce and sales improvement for the companies we worked with.
    • Clients: led in signing up 17 clients to the business in total
    • Account Management: Looked after up to 13 at a time.
