Bio

I started on the agency side at RockBoost as their 1st employee, growing the team to 25 employees before moving to the brand side to start a new challenge as head of growth by Heights. I am specialized in data-driven marketing: I run experiments based on the data I see to understand what works and what doesn’t in growing a company. Data not just in the form of numbers (though I love those) but also in what the customer needs. I help companies understand where they are wasting marketing budget and hours as well as how to provide a better experience for the end-user. I have not only the experience teaching others but also hands-on experience in various marketing channels for almost all my clients and at Heights , from setting up marketing automation through various channels to growing paid traffic. I'm now a freelance Growth Coach helping founders and head of growths with their growth challenges. I'm also co-author of Growing Happy Clients - Available worldwide on Amazon, Paperback (http://bit.ly/ghc-paperback) and Kindle (http://bit.ly/ghc-kindle). Which is focused on growth consultants but many of the lessons will apply to being an in-house growth hacker too.

Expertise


  • Building a team

    I built and had a team of 15 growth hackers at RockBoost, right now I'm building the growth team at Heights. I've had a lot of learnings and made a lot of mistakes whilst hiring that I'm happy to share to save you learning it all the hard way.

  • Conversion rate optimisation

    I've been working on CRO next to other areas of growth for the last four years and when done correctly, it never disappoints with its impact. I'm happy to walk through everything from getting started with CRO to conducting good research (80% of CRO is research) to improving your win rate.

  • Growth marketing

    I'm an all round growth marketer so I'm always happy to talk more general growth strategy and process with a strong bias towards making things practical and actionable.

  • Idea validation

    It can be hard knowing whether your idea is the right one, especially as you are so close to your idea. I'm always happy to take a step back with you and look at what stage your idea is in and how to best validate it. There are a few common pitfalls to watch out for when validating your idea based on my experience so I'll help you avoid those too.

  • Mindset coaching

    Growth is at least 90% mindset. I love identifying small mindset changes that will help you or your team members further, e.g. seeing failures more as learnings, 80/20 rule, getting things live faster, testing smaller, etc. If you want to talk about imposter syndrome feel free to reach out, I've struggled with it (and still do at times), so know how hard it can be.

  • Product market fit

    Finding Product Market Fit is hard. When I started at RockBoost and Heights they both didn't have product-market fit and I've also had multiple consulting clients without PMF (those are tough conversations!). I'm happy to help you figure out what your riskiest assumption is, how to go around finding PMF and also managing stakeholders perception of growth whilst finding PMF.

  • Remote work

    I've worked remote the last year so whilst I don't have a huge amount of experience I've learnt a lot along the way so always happy to share ideas and brainstorm around challenges.

  • User research

    I'm not a researcher, but I am constantly learning from our customers. I love MVP research setups from interviewing, to forum mining so that you are constantly learning from the end user. We even have an internal podcast with all our customer interviews to make sure everyone is constantly listening to the end user.

  • Venting frustration

    Having worked with start ups to corporates I know how frustrating growth can be at time. Feel free to vent and get advice on dealing with stakeholder overload, lack of focus, silos between departments, etc.

Toolkit


  • Facebook logo

    Facebook

    12 years of experience

    I've used Facebook for a multitude of clients as a consultant and for Heights where I work now. We've tripled the number of customers via Facebook through a few key changes which I can share and you can test for your business.

  • Google Analytics logo

    Google Analytics

    12 years of experience

    I've used GA since 2015, we use it less at Heights (we switched to Heap) but I still know the platform well and use it on a weekly basis. I'm happy to talk about how to set it up for success as well as custom reports that are interesting to look at (depending on your industry).

  • Google Analytics Experiments logo

    Google Analytics Experiments

    9 years of experience

    We use Google Optimise for our experiments and I believe it is a good platform to start with but has its limitations. We can always walk through everything from should you start testing, is it the right tool for you and the limitations to keep in mind.

  • Hotjar logo

    Hotjar

    11 years of experience

    Hotjar is honestly amazing and most businesses don't use it enough. We can talk through everything from setting it up to how to use the insights from it and how to combine it with other data sources to build stronger hypotheses.

  • Semrush logo

    Semrush

    9 years of experience

    I've used Semrush at both RockBoost and Heights. I definitely know how to read a site audit, keyword research, do competitor and backlink analysis but also feel like I'm still learning the more in-depth reports.

Industries


  • Creative Agency

    I was Head of Growth Consultancy at a Growth Agency (that closely collaborated with a Web Agency). I was the first employee and helped them scale up to 25 employees whilst also consulting and giving workshop for a wide range of companies.

  • E-Commerce

    I work with wellness and eco-friendly D2C startups as a growth advisor or growth consultant to help them work out what is holding back their growth and take steps to solve those challenges for both the short and long-term.

  • Nutrition

    I was Head of Growth of Heights, a braincare startup whose first products were a Smart Supplement and a Probiotic. I helped them scale from 28K to 343K MRR during those 8 months.
