Commercial systems for enterprise value

I turn commercial spend into revenue investors pay a premium for.

Former CRO, former PE operating partner. I work with management teams and investors at B2B tech companies, €5–100M ARR, mainly DACH.

When companies bring me in

Commercial Spend Revenue Quality Enterprise Value

Durable, efficient growth is the biggest driver of enterprise value in tech, and commercial spend is usually the biggest budget behind it. Most companies can report what marketing did and what finance booked. Few can show which spend buys revenue that retains, expands and holds its price, which is the revenue a buyer pays for.

I find where commercial spend leaks value, show where the next euro should go, and build the operating model behind it across acquisition, retention, expansion and pricing. The aim is the numbers a buyer prices: net revenue retention, CAC payback, growth efficiency and forecast accuracy.
