As founder of The Growth Syndicate, I've spent over a decade helping B2B tech SMEs scale from €1M to €100M ARR through fractional CMO and GTM leadership, driving innovation through strategic marketing. I work with PE and VC-backed companies across Europe, including portfolio companies backed by Y Combinator, Accel, Index Ventures, and Holland Capital. Through mentorship and coaching, I've trained over 1,000 tech professionals in scaling innovative B2B solutions. Recent results include helping companies achieve 350% growth in 6 months and improving outreach results by 2.8x. My approach integrates brand building with demand generation, building sustainable systems rather than pursuing short-term wins. I organize TGS Con, a top marketing and innovation conference for B2B tech companies in Europe, and facilitate knowledge sharing through our community of 100+ professionals.
