About Kelly
My core is fintech. Four years building GTM strategies, BD teams, and partnerships at fast-moving companies capped by a Head of BD role at Manaos, a BNP Paribas-backed fintech venture.
More recently I've been inside BNP Paribas Securities Services, leading AI and digital transformation projects which gave me a rare mix of startup agility and institutional depth.
Now I'm channeling all of that into freelance growth consulting working with B2B companies that need someone who's actually been in the trenches, not just advised from the sidelines.
