Your commercial team, extended.

I help companies grow in the maritime and travel industries through structured business development and sales outreach, acting as an extension of their commercial team. My work focuses on targeted outreach, follow-ups, and account management across cruise lines, shipping companies, shipyards, offshore operators, marine technology firms, and travel & tourism partners.

What I do

Sales work that moves the needle, not the deck.

Three disciplines, run as one operating rhythm. Not a campaign that ends — an always-on commercial function plugged into your team.

01 — Operator

Operator, not consultant

I don't write decks and leave. I run outreach, send emails, take calls, and own the outcomes.

02 — Prospecting

Targeted prospecting

Maritime business is relationship-driven. I build long-term connections with decision-makers through industry events, consistent engagement and trusted communication that creates lasting business opportunities.

03 — Accounts

Account management

Structured account management, including stakeholder mapping, strategic engagement planning, and reliable forecasting to support confident business decisions.

The mission

Hire commercial talent without hiring.

Most maritime companies don't need another BD hire — they need someone who already knows the buyers, cadence, and culture. I plug into your team, operate as an extension of it, and fully own the outreach motion from start to finish.

How I work

Principles that shape every engagement.

How I show up, what I prioritise, and what you can count on from week one.

01

Embedded Growth Partner

I work as part of your commercial team — aligned with your brand strategy, tone of voice, and commercial approach. Buyers experience one team, not a vendor.

02

Industry-specific

Cruise lines, shipyards, offshore, ports, suppliers. The buyers I work with are people I already know how to reach — and how to keep engaged.

03

Weekly cadence

Consistent reporting, shared pipeline visibility, weekly syncs. You always know where the conversations stand and what's coming next.

04

Built for the long game

In maritime, deals don't move fast — and neither should relationships. I work in long cycles, building trust over years and staying consistent until opportunities mature.

What you get

Tangible deliverables, not just activity.

Everything I run is visible, documented, and yours. Clear inputs, clear outputs.

Qualified meetings

High-quality meetings with key decision-makers, fully prepared with context and alignment to ensure meaningful engagement.

Account plans

Written coverage plans for your priority accounts: stakeholders, history, next steps, and the relationship roadmap.

Pipeline visibility

A live view of every conversation in motion. Weekly written updates, monthly forecasting, and full CRM hygiene.

Why work with me

I help you craft it, then close it.

For companies serving the marine industry that want a dedicated commercial partner — not an agency, not a freelancer — here's why we'd be a fit.

Maritime focus

I work across cruise, shipping, shipbuilding and offshore industries. Not generalist BD — specialist.

Operator, not consultant

I stay in the work — running outreach, engaging decision-makers, and owning outcomes from first contact to result.

Senior-level conversations

I speak to buyers at their level. Procurement, commercial, executive — the conversations that move deals forward.

Turning Attention Into Opportunity

I create demand where others struggle to get noticed — and turn it into real conversations.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Common questions from companies thinking about working together.

Maritime-focused companies across cruise, shipping, shipbuilding, offshore, ports, marine technology, and travel. If you work with key industry decision-makers, we should talk.
Yes. Agencies run campaigns and hand over leads. Salespeople take months to ramp and require management. I operate as an embedded part of your team from week one — with the network, context, and discipline already in place.
We start with a discovery phase to map your buyers, refine messaging, and align on accounts. Then I run the outreach, follow-up, and account management on an ongoing monthly basis with weekly syncs and shared visibility.
I'm not exclusive, but I'm selective about overlap. I avoid working with direct competitors targeting the same buyers, so every engagement stays clear, effective, and conflict-free.
Qualified meetings booked, accounts opened, conversations progressed, and ultimately revenue influenced.
