About Rob

I help product brands scale across the UK and Europe - through strategic partnerships, GTM launches, and omnichannel transformation.

You’ve got a great product. Now it’s about turning that into real commercial traction - with the right partnerships, channels, and execution. That’s where I come in.

I help consumer electronics, FMCG, and DTC brands transform their commercial approach - breaking into markets across Europe and building sustainable, high-performing revenue channels across retail, telco, and ecommerce.

Whether you’re launching your first product or expanding internationally, I’ll bring the commercial playbook - and execute it with you. From GTM planning to strategic retail activation, I help turn ideas into focused, scalable strategy.
