• Proven success in building, managing, and scaling sales teams in fast-growth businesses.
• Strong track record of exceeding revenue and growth targets at a leadership level (in £10m+ ARR businesses).
• Commercially astute with excellent negotiation skills and ability to close enterprise-level deals.
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills, able to engage and influence at C-suite level.
