Over Ellen

Helping mid-sized companies unlock their next phase of growth

I support mid-sized companies that are facing growth challenges whether that’s slowing revenue, an underperforming sales team, or a go-to-market strategy that no longer delivers.

With 25+ years of experience in commercial leadership, change management, and technology (SaaS, platforms), I bring a hands-on, results-driven approach. I don’t just advise. I quickly identify where growth is leaking and work with your team to fix it.

I typically focus on three areas:

1. Commercial diagnostics & quick wins
Assessing funnel, conversion, pricing, and positioning to identify what holds growth back and implementing improvements that deliver impact within weeks.

2. Sharpening go-to-market & execution
Defining the right customer segments, clarifying the value proposition, and translating strategy into a focused, executable sales approach.

3. Elevating sales performance
Coaching leadership and teams, improving pipeline discipline, and building a performance-driven culture with more predictable revenue.

I usually work a few hours per week alongside your team enough to create momentum, challenge thinking, and ensure execution improves without adding overhead.

If you’re looking for a pragmatic, senior partner who combines strategic clarity with hands-on execution, I’d be happy to connect.
