Commercial co-pilot for technical builders · Prague, working across Europe and beyond
You build the product. I make sure it sells.
Nobody can find you. Nobody's buying yet. That's the actual problem →
If you're a technical founder and want a second set of eyes on whether you're heading in the right commercial direction, I'm your guy. Sales funnel health, product-market fit, and whether you're about to hire a salesperson too early or too late, that's what I check and fix. Think of it as a sales consultant doing the go-to-market work so you can stay focused on building and executing.
no pitch deck, no pricing page — just a conversation first.

Where I actually help
Four questions I get asked most.
Direction
"Are we heading in the right commercial direction?"
A second, experienced set of eyes on your GTM strategy, not another opinion, a read grounded in having built and scaled these functions before.
Funnel
"Is our sales funnel actually working?"
Where deals stall, why, and whether the leak is your ICP, your process, or your findability, then fixing whichever one it actually is.
Fit
"Do we actually have product-market fit?"
Distinguishing real demand from polite enthusiasm, and telling you honestly if the answer is no yet.
Hiring
"Should we hire a salesperson yet?"
Laying the foundation first, a real, repeatable process, so if and when you do hire, you're hiring the right person at the right time instead of guessing.
The pattern I keep finding
Same story, different company size.
I've seen this exact combination at newly-funded startups and at a 25-year-old established company alike. It's more common than founders think, and most agencies only fix half of it.
01
No real sales process
- Founder-led sales with no repeatable system
- Deals close on relationships, not a process
- No clear answer to "who's actually our ICP"
02
Invisible to search and AI
- Broken or missing structured data (schema)
- No FAQ content AI answer engines can cite
- Indexing and sitemap gaps nobody's checked
03
Nobody's connected the two
- Marketing agencies don't touch sales process
- Sales consultants don't touch technical SEO
- The gap between them is where companies stay stuck
Why this, not a marketing agency or a sales consultant
Most founders don't need "a marketing person." They need one person across the whole funnel.
One founder put it better than I could: he wanted "the god of all things commercial," and couldn't find anyone who'd help him through the entire funnel, not just marketing, not just sales, all of it. That's the actual gap. Most consultants specialize in one slice, content, ads, outbound, a CRM setup, and hand you off for the rest. I work ICP through close: who you're actually selling to, whether people and AI can find you, and whether your sales process turns that visibility into revenue. One person, one view of the whole thing.

Two ways to work together
You execute, or we execute. Both are real options.
Same diagnosis, different delivery. Which one makes sense depends on whether you have the time and the person to run with it, or want it off your plate entirely.
Advisory / Consulting
You execute, I set the direction
I do the diagnostic work, ICP, funnel audit, PMF read, sales-hire timing, and hand you a clear plan. Your team runs it, with me available for regular check-ins to keep it on track.
Best fit if you already have someone who can execute and just need the strategy and accountability.
Done-for-you GTM
I execute, based on our shared vision
I run the go-to-market work directly, building the ICP, the sales process, and the findability fixes, so you can stay focused on building the product rather than splitting time between the two.
Best fit if you don't yet have a commercial hire, and don't want to become one by accident.
No published pricing on either, the right shape and scope depends on where you actually are. That's exactly what the first conversation is for.

Who's behind this
Someone who's actually done the jobs.
15+ years in B2B SaaS sales, customer success, and go-to-market. Head of Sales at Proton, where I scaled the team from 1 to 10+ people across eight consecutive quarters over target. Before that, Senior Enterprise CSM at Productboard, running at 125% net revenue retention. I've also advised Apify and Resistant.ai on building GTM functions from scratch.
My own path here wasn't a straight line into sales. I trained as an electrical and electronics engineer, then did an MBA in finance, and ended up in B2B SaaS almost by accident. What kept me there was scaling teams and, along the way, hiring, promoting, and mentoring the people who made those functions work. I've been on both sides of the exact jumps I now coach people through. I've also coached people through job and industry switches directly, moving from other functions into GTM, and, more recently, from long enterprise careers into startups, mapping what actually transfers versus what's just noise on a resume. Alongside that, I've spent real time diagnosing and fixing the exact pattern behind Service 1: broken schema, missing structured data, no AI-answer-engine visibility, paired with an unclear ICP and no repeatable sales process. This site is part of that testing ground. Based in Prague, sessions run over video call, so I work with founders and teams across major tech hubs, from London, Berlin, and Geneva to Dubai, Doha, New York, and Singapore. See where I work →

FAQ
Questions people actually ask.
Service 1 · GTM + AEO/SEO
What is a full-funnel GTM advisor?
A full-funnel GTM advisor works across the entire commercial motion, ICP definition, positioning, findability (SEO/AEO), and the sales process that closes the deal, rather than specializing in just one slice. One founder described the gap plainly: he wanted "the god of all things commercial" and couldn't find anyone who'd help him through the entire funnel. Most agencies and consultants only cover marketing or only cover sales, which leaves the connective tissue between them unowned.
Do I need a separate marketing person and a separate sales person, or can one person handle both?
For an early-stage company, one person who understands the whole funnel is often more effective than two specialists who each own half of it and don't talk to each other. Marketing without a sales process wastes the traffic it generates. Sales without findability has nothing to work with. The handoff between them is exactly where most early-stage companies lose momentum.
What's the difference between what you do and hiring a fractional CMO or fractional CRO?
A fractional CMO or CRO typically owns one half of the commercial function and often comes with a larger monthly retainer suited to a company that already has the other half figured out. This is closer to a single operator covering both marketing findability and sales process together, useful specifically when a company doesn't yet have either side solved and needs one person who sees the whole picture before splitting it into two hires.
Why isn't my startup showing up when someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity about tools like mine?
Usually because the site has no structured data (schema.org markup) for AI systems to read, no direct question-and-answer content for them to cite, or the domain is too new to have built any authority yet. This is fixable, and it's a different fix than traditional SEO, it's specifically about giving AI answer engines clean, extractable, citable content rather than just ranking in a search results page.
I already have a marketing agency and a separate sales consultant. Why isn't it working?
Usually because nobody owns the connection between them. The agency optimizes for traffic and content, the sales consultant optimizes for closing deals, and neither is responsible for whether the traffic actually matches who the sales process is built to close. That gap is exactly what a full-funnel view is meant to catch.
What does a GTM + AEO/SEO engagement actually involve?
Two parts, done together: a GTM side, defining your actual ICP and building a repeatable sales process, and a technical side, auditing and fixing the schema, structured data, and indexing gaps keeping you invisible to search engines and AI answer engines. Most companies have both problems and have only ever had someone fix one.
How is this different from hiring an SEO agency?
Most SEO agencies touch keywords and content, not sales process, and most sales consultants never open your site's source code. I've built and scaled GTM teams and done hands-on structured-data and AEO work, this site's own schema and FAQ markup is an example, so the fix addresses both sides instead of handing you off to someone else for the other half.
Do you help with sales too, or just marketing and technical SEO?
Both, and usually together. A perfectly optimized site with no clear ICP or sales process just gets more unqualified traffic. A great sales process with an invisible website never gets enough people to sell to. The two problems compound each other, which is exactly why they need to be fixed together.
What stage companies do you work with?
I've seen this same pattern at newly-funded startups and at a 25-year-old established company alike. Stage matters less than whether the two problems, unclear ICP/no sales process and broken technical SEO/AEO, are both present, which is more common than founders expect.
Is this a one-time audit or an ongoing engagement?
Depends what you need. Some companies want a focused audit and fix, others want ongoing GTM and technical support as they grow. Both a consulting model (you execute, I set direction) and a done-for-you model (I execute, based on our shared vision) are available. No published pricing on purpose, the right shape depends on where you actually are, let's talk first.
Do you just advise, or can you actually run the GTM work for us?
Both, as two separate packages. Advisory/consulting means I do the diagnostic, ICP, funnel audit, PMF read, sales-hire timing, and hand your team a clear plan with regular check-ins. Done-for-you GTM means I run the work directly, building the ICP, sales process, and findability fixes myself, so you stay focused on the product. Which one fits depends on whether you already have someone who can execute.
How do I know if we have product-market fit?
The honest answer requires looking past polite enthusiasm, people saying they'd love your product isn't the same as people paying for it. It comes down to specific signals: whether customers describe the problem the way you do, whether your happiest customers still match who you're closing today, and whether you're winning on the product itself rather than price or relationship. More on the specific signals →
How do I know if it's the right time to hire my first salesperson?
Not revenue or funding, those are the wrong signals. The real test is whether your last 8-10 closed deals show a repeatable pattern, similar trigger events, similar objections, similar proof points, that someone else could actually run with. Hiring before that pattern exists is the most common way a first sales hire fails. More on the actual test →
What cities and regions do you work with?
Everything runs over video call, so I work with founders and companies across Europe (London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon, Dublin, Brussels, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Vienna, Warsaw, Milan), Switzerland (Geneva, Zurich), the Gulf/GCC (Dubai, Doha), North America (New York, San Francisco), and Asia-Pacific (Singapore), alongside Prague where I'm based.
