Take control, create momentum and leave a lasting impact.
Experienced, hands on leadership when you need it most. From stabilising to scaling, I’ll hit the ground running.
Interim leadership
Whether your marketing leader has left, you’re scaling faster than the team can handle or the business is going through a big change, a gap at the top of marketing is expensive. Campaigns stall, the team drifts and pipeline suffers.
As your interim Marketing Director I step in full time or close to it, take ownership of the function and lead from the front. No lengthy recruitment process, no months of handover.
I’ve led marketing at board level, including eight years as Marketing Director of a PE backed SaaS group, managing teams across the UK, the Netherlands and Germany and budgets from £200k to £1M.

Usually within a week or two. If it’s urgent, tell me and I’ll do my best to move faster.
Most run for three to nine months, but it depends on why there’s a gap. We agree a timeline at the start and review it as we go.
It can be. Interim roles are usually three to five days a week, depending on what the business needs while you hire.
Yes, if you want me to. I can help shape the role, sit in on interviews and hand over properly so they start strong.
