My CRM experience combines CRM strategy and operations, marketing operations, data management, automation, lifecycle marketing, GTM, customer journeys, analytics and process improvement. I work across the strategic and operational layers of CRM — understanding business requirements, structuring data and processes, designing solutions, building workflows and automation, and developing the measurement and documentation needed to operate and improve them.
For a Canadian Workforce & Talent Solutions Firm, I delivered hands-on CRM and marketing automation work centred on HubSpot and connected MarTech. This included mapping and automating an end-to-end client journey from booking and validation through CRM activity, AI-assisted call information, retainer and proposal processes, contracts, sequenced follow-up, surveys and project hand-off. I designed multi-step workflows, conditional logic, automated tasks, communications, If/Then routing and cross-platform data flows, working with HubSpot, Make, Calendly and Zoho. The work required translating business requirements into practical CRM processes and rebuilding automation as requirements and technology evolved.
For a US-based Enterprise Human Capital Advisory Firm, my work has been broader across CRM strategy, CRM data operations and GTM. I analysed and prepared a substantial prospect and contact population, undertaking data cleaning, deduplication, classification, enrichment, segmentation and qualification. I developed proposed CRM and GTM operating models connecting prospect identification, qualification, segmentation, campaigns, engagement, meetings and conversion, alongside lifecycle and customer-journey structures, lead-generation processes, propositions and lead magnets. I also developed extensive project, process and implementation documentation to translate the proposed operating model into an actionable CRM framework.
Across this work I have developed capability spanning CRM and Marketing Strategy, CRM Operations, CRM Data Management, GTM Strategy, Lifecycle and Customer Journey Architecture, Marketing Automation, B2B Lead Generation, Marketing Analytics, MarTech Solution Architecture, Product and Proposition Development, Process Improvement, Project Delivery and Consulting.
I have complemented this practical experience with deliberate platform development: 20 HubSpot certifications and a Salesforce Sales Operations Professional Certificate. My HubSpot learning spans Marketing Hub, Sales Hub, Revenue Operations, Reporting, Data Integration, Content Hub and Sales Enablement, alongside lifecycle marketing, email, ABM, SEO, digital advertising, AI and emerging AEO. Further HubSpot Reporting and Workflow Automation bootcamps are planned for Autumn 2026. The certifications provide current platform breadth alongside — rather than instead of — my professional CRM experience.
My wider background in business information management, intelligence, market and competitive analysis, marketing, communications and digital operations also informs how I approach CRM: analytically, commercially and structurally. I am comfortable moving between the detail of data and workflows and the wider business problem they are intended to solve.
An additional UK B2B SaaS CRM Operations project provided an environment for extending this experience through a complete CRM operating cycle: Build → Test → Launch → Simulate → Measure → Learn → Optimise. The project covers CRM data, segmentation, lifecycle management, campaigns, workflows, simulated customer interactions, reporting and continuous improvement.
Why CRM?
I like CRM because it brings structure to complexity. It sits at the intersection of business, marketing, people, data and technology, where problems can be analysed, solutions designed, tested, measured and improved. I particularly enjoy the process of understanding a problem, structuring it, designing the solution and then making the system work better.

What I can show you to the left and also above of here is the breadth of the intelligence work, the roles I performed, the problems I solved and the methods I developed over 30 years.

An app to learn and study online with language learning.
This UX Design project involved wireframing and prototyping a low fidelity app using the software Marvel.
This project was the completion piece for a basic course in UX with Career Foundry before starting the 5 month intensive UX Design course that produced Coaching Wizards. It followed the stages of research and definition, design and iteration, prototyping and testing.
This was an excellent learning by doing project where I worked through methods, theory and software. I learned a lot in every area. For example user research showed what people want, competitor analysis showed what was going on, design involved learning and experimenting while creating and testing about how to do it all better and iterate something new and improved.
My content involves strong and emotive visual written work that connects with the audience and makes them feel involved and present in a story.
I have 10+ years experience producing successful focused newsletters within organisations. This includes weekly intelligence newsletters for a multicorp and an weekly info and Friends letter for a renowned international school in Berlin, where I was also web admin and content chief editor for 5 years.
