As a Lead Solution Engineer within Sitecore's dedicated DAM team, I focus on the PreSales motion for their enterprise product, Content Hub. I work closely with a specialist team built around deep domain expertise in digital asset management, helping customers understand how the platform can transform their content operations, from discovery and proof of concept through to close, always starting with the business problem rather than the product.

Contentful is a leading API-first, headless CMS that gives teams a centralised hub for creating, managing and distributing content across any channel. As a Solution Engineer, I partnered with digital, marketing, and engineering teams across EMEA to move them from rigid, legacy CMS setups to composable, API-first content architectures on Contentful, so they could ship faster, personalise at scale, and reduce operational overhead.

Linius (now ION Video - ASX: IOV) is a video infrastructure company pioneering programmable video as AI-ready infrastructure, addressing one of the most compelling opportunities in the digital economy. As the founding UK Solutions Lead and first SE on the ground, I worked directly with the CEO and Sales Lead to build go-to-market strategy from scratch, owning partner relations and account management. In December 2025, a shareholder-driven restructuring dissolved UK operations.

I worked closely with top brands and media companies to maximise the impact of video technology in achieving their goals. My responsibilities included managing the technical aspects of the sales process, such as conducting technical qualifications, preparing bid responses, delivering solution briefings, and leading proof-of-concept initiatives. I also coordinated technical resources to ensure the proposed solutions align with client needs.

In my role as a Solution Engineer, I provided technical expertise to support Speechmatics' growth throughout the sales lifecycle, helping customers integrate the speech-to-text API into their applications and workflows. I worked closely with the wider sales team to demonstrate how Self-Supervised Learning models deliver high-accuracy transcription, with features including real-time and batch processing, speaker diarisation and sub-500ms latency.

As a Product Specialist, in what was my first Sales Engineering role, I supported the sales and business development teams in delivering Imagen's platform and professional services. I managed the presales process from initial qualification through to close, including conducting technical discovery, delivering solution demonstrations, preparing RFP responses and running proof-of-concept projects.
