About Karl

I’m a senior marketing and communications professional with over 15 years’ experience leading strategy and delivery across a mix of B2B and consumer-facing brands.
My background includes running a marketing agency and a B2B events company, managing teams and delivering campaigns that support sales growth and brand development.
I’ve worked closely with leadership teams, internal stakeholders and agency partners to plan and execute integrated marketing activity across multiple channels.
With a commercially focused, data-led approach, I align marketing efforts with sales targets, customer insights and lead generation goals.
I bring a calm, pragmatic style to fast-paced environments, with a strong focus on collaboration, clear messaging and measurable results.
