Commercial Due Diligence & Growth Advisory

Strategic Advisory for Technology-Driven Growth

I support private equity firms, boards, and CEOs in assessing go-to-market strength, execution risk, and the true scalability of revenue models in cybersecurity and enterprise software.

  1. 25+ Years Operating in SaaS & Cybersecurity
  2. $5M→$50M ARR Scaled at Vade in Under Four Years
  3. Valuation Growth at Exit to Proofpoint
  4. 200+ Revenue Professionals Led Globally

An Operator's Lens on Every Engagement

My diligence work is grounded in having built and run the systems I evaluate. I have owned the P&L for global revenue organizations, managed through legal crises and budget cuts, rebuilt disengaged sales teams, and taken companies from near-failure to exit.

I know what a healthy GTM function looks like from the inside — and I know where the numbers can be made to look better than they are. My focus areas are cybersecurity and enterprise software, with deep experience across the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

I am fluent in the commercial dynamics of MSP/MSSP channel models, enterprise direct sales, OEM relationships, and founder-to-professional-management transitions.

How I Work With Firms and Boards

  1. 01

    Commercial Due Diligence

    Assessment of revenue quality, GTM scalability, and execution risk before investment. I evaluate what the numbers reflect versus what actually drives them — and where the model is likely to break under growth pressure.

  2. 02

    Board & Growth Advisory

    Post-investment support for boards and CEOs navigating commercial execution challenges. I work as an operator-in-the-room, reviewing actual pipeline, assessing leadership capability, and identifying where the GTM machine needs structural change.

  3. 03

    Industry Expert Advisory

    Operator-level perspective during investment evaluation for firms that need someone who has run these businesses, not only analysed them. My experience spans cybersecurity, enterprise SaaS, telco software, and digital media at scale.
