Director of Pre-Sales, EMEA and APAC
I am an experienced Sales and Pre-Sales leader with a track record of building high-performing teams, developing scalable programmes and transforming how established functions operate.
My career has spanned commercial operations, risk management, professional services, solution consulting and Pre-Sales leadership. This gives me a broad perspective across the customer lifecycle, from understanding operational challenges and shaping strategy through to solution positioning, sales execution, implementation and long-term customer value.
In my current role at Riskonnect, I lead the Pre-Sales organisation across EMEA and Sri Lanka, helping customers translate complex risk, resilience and compliance priorities into measurable business outcomes. I work closely with Sales, Product, Marketing and Services leadership to strengthen go-to-market execution, refine value propositions and improve how we qualify, shape and progress strategic opportunities.
A consistent theme throughout my career has been building capability. I have created new programmes and frameworks, developed teams and future leaders, introduced more scalable ways of working, and improved existing functions through data, automation, coaching and continuous improvement.
My leadership style combines commercial focus with curiosity, collaboration and accountability. I believe strong Pre-Sales organisations do more than demonstrate technology. They improve the quality of discovery, influence customer strategy, connect business problems to measurable value and give sales teams the confidence to lead meaningful executive conversations.
With practitioner and consulting experience across Operational Risk, Business Continuity, Operational Resilience and GRC, I bring both domain credibility and a practical understanding of the challenges customers are trying to solve. My Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and Certificate in Operational Risk Management further support my focus on structured problem-solving, operational excellence and sustainable improvement.
I am at my best when building teams, developing programmes, improving performance and bringing people together around a clear commercial and customer-focused strategy.
