At HubSpot we say we are uncomfortably open. I fit in at HubSpot in that sense. I have no issues talking about personal and maybe difficult topics. But I also add being quite transparent and direct, and always keeping the bigger picture in sight.
Preventing mis-communication and setting clear swim-lanes is one of the things that make me successful.
Looking at my resume one may argue that it is all over the place, and it is. But that is a pro, not a con! It simply means I have seen how a wide variety of industries work, and have been successful in almost all of them. Ask me for examples and I will be delighted to share some!
It also means that in a business conversation I will be quick to understand most businesses, and may offer an insight others would not immediately consider.
My background is in sales and marketing and I've had senior management roles in companies such as The Guardian Media Group, Local World (DMGT) and Team Rock.
I first used HubSpot as a customer for many years with my sales teams and that's led to me acquiring a ton of experience in the use of CRM tools especially. I hold up to 30 HubSpot certifications (the grind is real) and lead on Business Analysis, System Architecture and of course Revenue Operations for Real Inbound.
My background allows me insight into the problems you will face during onboarding and the change management challenges you will face within your teams, and I have the management expertise to help you solve them too.
And once we have HubSpot in and working well, we can focus on improving your sales marketing and customer service performances based on my experience in leading large teams and corporations to grow over many years.
When I'm not taking new HubSpot certifications I enjoy spending time with my family, wife Joanne and sons Alex and Jake. This is however a blatant attempt to build up enough credit to get out on my dream motorbike, my Ducati Multistrada 1260S. I'm not sure whether I prefer talking HubSpot or Bikes!
