The inflection point

Are you stuck between proof and predictability?

Early-stage growth is stalling.

The CEO, VP Sales or CS Leader is still closing every deal. The team can't replicate it. Revenue plateaus.

Enterprise deals are getting harder.

Longer cycles, more stakeholders, eroding price. The motion that worked at £1m doesn't work at £10m.

Forecasts keep slipping.

Pipeline coverage looks fine on paper, but slipped quarters and surprise misses keep showing up.

Expanding into EMEA

The challenges that derail EMEA expansion.

Regulatory complexity across EMEA markets.

EMEA isn't one market. It's thirty, each with different spectrum rules, data sovereignty requirements and carrier licensing regimes. Knowing which constraints are genuine blockers and which can be resolved through the right partner relationship is what separates a stalled EMEA launch from one that moves.

Carrier relationships that don't translate from North America.

European MNOs operate with regional autonomy, longer procurement cycles and partnership models that require presence, patience and the right introductions. I've built carrier relationships across EMEA and APAC as a strategic asset, not an afterthought to the direct enterprise motion.

Building a dispersed EMEA team that punches above its weight.

The instinct is to replicate the US model in a different time zone. It rarely translates. European enterprise buyers have different procurement dynamics and a stronger preference for local credibility. I've built small EMEA sales functions in IoT and connectivity specifically, where the GTM design was right, not just the headcount.
