Creating ART for Innovators. That’s Awareness, Revenue, and Trust for innovative B2B technology companies.

I am a senior B2B marketing executive. I am considered to be a content marketing and product marketing expert, working with organizations looking to create their story, develop a strategy to tell it, and assemble the essential technology building blocks to make that happen.
Currently I am the CMO at Spotler Group where I lead branding and positioning, best practice, centralised marketing services and providing subject matter expertise across the group and our private equity owners as they make further acquisitions.
I am also the founder and Chief Bottle Washer at Rockstar CMO, a web publication, podcast and marketing advisory firm.
As a technologist turned marketer, with two decades in the content management industry, I have a broad perspective. My diverse career has included C-suite leadership positions at leading marketing technology vendors, representing agencies, and my own firm as a trusted advisor to brands like American Express, Nasdaq, SAS, and 3M.
I am an experienced speaker, event facilitator, podcast host, former CTO and CMO, Director of The Content Management Professional Association, and is a regular columnist for the popular industry publication CMSWire.
I was named in “Top 20 martech influencers in the UK” by B2BMarketing.net.
