Über mich
As a marketing & growth leader with experience in SaaS, consumer services and marketplaces across B2C and B2B, I have been an integral part to the rise of some of the most successful scale-ups in Europe such as Paddle (in the top 10 fastest growing UK startups for the last 4 years), GoCardless (now a unicorn) and Skrill (fastest growing PE-backed company in Europe at the time, now a unicorn). I combine a deep understanding of the journey between early product market fit and scale with a well-rounded, revenue-focused marketing and growth skill-set across the European and US markets, and a strong ability to build high performing, cohesive teams.
