Commercial Growth for Investor-Backed and Founder-Led Businesses

Accelerating revenue and margin growth, working alongside finance and delivering change from inside the business.

Is Your Business Facing One of These Growth Challenges?

Growth has slowed and revenue forecasts are consistently being missed.
Commercial performance is falling behind the plan with investors.
An acquisition has yet to deliver the growth or synergies expected.
Pricing, sales effectiveness or go-to-market strategy needs resetting.

I work with founders, boards and investors to accelerate commercial growth and improve business performance.

My focus is on the practical levers that drive revenue and margin: go-to-market strategy, pricing, sales leadership and acquisition integration.

I step into businesses as an interim Chief Growth Officer, Chief Revenue Officer or Chief Operating Officer, particularly in out-of-home and digital media, adtech, marketing services and technology.

I combine strategic perspective with hands-on operating experience, working alongside leadership teams to make change happen and deliver measurable results.

About Us

My career has been built around delivering measurable commercial results, both in established international businesses and in organisations undergoing significant change.

These include turning a $2 million loss into a $6.5 million profit as UK CEO of Portland Outdoor; growing Kinetic Asia Pacific’s profit from $0.8 million to $5.1 million; increasing Aviator’s PBT margin from 27% to 33% in one year; and generating more than $5 million in new revenue over 12 months at Ink Global following its acquisition by Stagwell.

Client Testimonials

Totley Brook set a future strategic direction for the business and was a pleasure to work with. Alex was communicative and able to successfully manage the challenges of being in the space between investors and the operational team.

Robert Gottlieb

Executive Director Capricorn Capital Partners

Alex was exactly what Ink needed, he managed the change inherent with becoming part of Stagwell, a NASDAQ listed entity and skilfully guided the team through growth initiatives to win revenue from new clients.

Jim Campbell

Chief Operating Officer, Ink Global

Alex was an absolute asset as an interim for change management during our expansion into the UK. Even working remotely from the main management team, he adapted seamlessly, delivered what we needed on time and with a smile. It was truly a pleasure working with him.
