Why this matters now

Discovery is shifting. ROI pressure is rising.

Across Bain, Gartner, and McKinsey signals, the pattern is consistent: buyer discovery is changing, B2B buying is becoming more self-directed, and leadership is under more pressure to prove where growth and AI investment actually create value.

Bain -30%

AI summaries / Search are reducing click-through in funnels.

Gartner 70%

Buyers prefer a fully digital self-service journey.

Workflow redesign has the biggest effect on AI-related EBIT impact.

What I help with

Turn GTM friction into growth.

I help B2B SaaS executives align their strategy, demand, and operating models to build a predictable growth engine—solving the complex enterprise scaling issues that usually show up first when growth stops compounding.

Strategy & positioning

Checks GTM focus, positioning clarity, budget choices, and the strategic decisions that shape growth.

  • GTM strategy and focus
  • Positioning and messaging clarity
  • Budget reallocation and investment choices

Demand & ABM

Checks discoverability, demand generation, buyer friction, ABM coordination, and lifecycle momentum.

  • Demand generation and channel mix
  • Buyer journey and conversion friction
  • ABM and lifecycle marketing

ROI & operating model

Checks measurement quality, workflow design, AI enablement, and the operating decisions that improve commercial ROI.

  • Measurement and ROI proof
  • AI-enabled team and workflow design
  • Martech and operating model decisions
Why me

Strategic lens.Operator depth.

I build GTM strategies from live performance data, cross-functional execution, and real enterprise scaling experience. The focus is predictable KPI improvement—especially attributed revenue, MROI, and CAC—delivered on the ground at JetBrains, Google, and Vodafone, including selection into Google’s top 3% global talent pool.

Next step

Start with the diagnostic.

The homepage shows how AI is changing buyer discovery, demand pressure, and ROI expectations. The assessment shows where your GTM model is actually exposed.

Assess your GTMreadiness for AI

Answer 16 questions and get a fast directional read on where your GTM model is most exposed.

16 questions
Under 8 minutes
Immediate readout
What it checks

The model reads the GTM system, not just isolated symptoms.

It focuses on the pressure points that usually surface first when AI reshapes discovery, buying journeys, content economics, and ROI expectations.

What it covers

Three modules covering strategy, demand engines, and operating-model optimization.

What you get

A score, priority stack, research-backed tips, and directional benchmark context.

Best use case

Best if you want a fast diagnostic before deciding on a deeper consult.

Ready?

Start before the gaps get expensive.

The public diagnostic gives you a fast read on where GTM pressure is most likely to compound first.

Methodology

How the model works

This prototype does not measure AI enthusiasm. It measures whether a B2B marketing organization can turn AI-era change into repeatable commercial performance.

What gets measured

  • 3 GTM modules with 16 explicit A-D questions
  • Module-level scoring for strategy, demand growth, and operating-model readiness
  • AI discoverability, ABM, customer-base growth, governance, and ROI-proof readiness
  • Normalized module scoring, guardrail logic, and module-specific CTA triggers

How scores stay honest

  • Guardrail rules prevent weak measurement or governance from being mislabeled as top-tier maturity.
  • Priority logic reflects structural blockers, not just the lowest raw score.
  • The first-step intake only asks for context that materially affects the readout.

How to read the benchmark

  • Current benchmark views are directional, not fully normed.
  • The model reflects external market signals, practical GTM patterns, and the logic behind the current assessment design.
  • Over time, proprietary completions and consult debriefs should make the benchmark sharper.

Fast next step

Pressure-test the diagnosis before changing budget, team structure, or tooling.

Interim support is best when the diagnosis already points to a clear execution gap. The 30-minute consult is better when you want to pressure-test the diagnosis first.
