Your mentor

I’m not a marketing expert.

I’m a B2B operator who understands marketing—and how startups actually work.

For 12+ years I've led GTM at high-growth B2B SaaS companies. As SVP Marketing at UserZoom, I scaled ARR from $25M to $80M over three years, generating $18M in marketing pipeline each quarter. Before that, I built the marketing function at WhatUsersDo from scratch, leading it through to acquisition. More recently as VP Marketing at Insight Partners-backed Sedna, I built a high-performing team that took marketing's share of new-business pipeline from 10% to 35%.

My real job wasn’t ads or campaigns. It was helping CEOs and teams make better decisions when the stakes were high.

I work with people who don't have a senior operator in the business to sanity-check their thinking (usually the decisions involving people, money and direction).

- Founders: making the big go-to-market calls—positioning, channels, who to hire—with no one experienced to pressure-test them.
- Marketers: the lone or first-time in-house hire, pulled in ten directions and unsure what to ignore and how to progress beyond fire-fighting

Most people come to me when they've hit an inflection point, and realise the answer isn't another podcast or AI-generated playbook. They need to distil their options and move the hell forward with confidence.

I provide strategic perspective, operator judgement and decisive clarity. I'm not your boss, your therapist, or a consultant who'll drown you in slides. But I will tell you the truth and keep you focused on what matters.

If you’re looking for hands-on execution or tactical asset reviews, that’s not me.

If you want clearer thinking, better decisions, and momentum in the right direction, let’s talk.

I made a career pivot into marketing after over 10 years in education and was struggling with serious imposter syndrome and overwhelm. I decided to seek out a mentor to help me improve my confidence and my skill level. I've been working with Tom for nearly a year, and partnering with him has been one of the best decisions I've made professionally. Tom comes well prepared for every meeting and is incredibly insightful. I really look forward to our meetings and appreciate his calm approach. My manager has even made comments about the growth he has seen in me since working with Tom. I highly recommend Tom as a mentor; he has had a profoundly positive impact on my professional life. ”

Then gave me the tools to overcome those. I'm still a work in progress but already feel a huge weight lifted about getting things moving. Exactly what I needed and not at all what I was expecting. Instead of telling me to do a, b, c he enabled me to figure out why I wasn't seeing what a, b and c were for myself. Also how to properly instruct my employees for what exactly I wanted. This is more like executive coaching than giving a recipe for success, I'm MORE THAN SATISFIED with what he provides. Great work Tom, looking forward to our next talk.”
