My career story

B2B marketing leader for high-growth AI and SaaS

I've built B2B marketing functions from the ground up twice, at Akkroo and Re:infer, growing ARR from sub-$1M through to exit at both. Along the way I've led category creation for Event Lead Capture and Communications Mining, each central to an acquisition, and built full-stack teams across product marketing, demand generation, content, brand, events and sales development.

At UiPath, I joined through the Re:infer acquisition and now help drive its AI credentials as the business evolves from its RPA roots to become the leader in business orchestration and automation, leading product marketing across the AI and agentic portfolio.

UiPath & Re:infer

Joined Re:infer in 2020 as the first marketing hire, building the team and engine that took it from sub-$1M ARR to acquisition by UiPath in 2022. Led category creation for Communications Mining, secured a Gartner Cool Vendor award, and built the marketing stack and SDR function.

Inside UiPath, progressed through three expanding remits: Communications Mining, then Intelligent Document Processing, now the AI and Agentic portfolio covering AI Agents, Intelligent Document Processing (UiPath IXP), AI models (UiPath Helix model family), integrations and data (UiPath Integration Service, and UiPath Data Fabric). Drove IDP to category leadership, including UiPath's debut in the inaugural Gartner Magic Quadrant3, with four straight years of analyst recognition (Gartner3, Forrester4 and Everest5). Lead a team of product marketers for the portfolio, at a company with $1.9bn ARR1, where AI now features in 16 of the top 20 deals and AI-inclusive expansion deals run six times larger2.
