03Selected Experience Prior to Founding Praxeon

Selected Experience Prior
to Founding Praxeon

01

Accelerating an established growth platform

Helped reset the value creation plan of an already successful business, identifying and evidencing the commercial drivers capable of accelerating growth.

Analysis of customer acquisition, retention, cohort behaviour, order frequency, share of wallet, product expansion and commercial partnerships helped establish a more focused growth agenda and the KPIs required to measure progress.

Those drivers subsequently formed an integral part of the financial plan and equity story presented to the next investor.

02

Building an evidenced commercial growth engine

Worked with management to develop a more structured commercial playbook around lead generation, pipeline management, customer retention and future growth.

Connected commercial actions and leading pipeline indicators to the assumptions underpinning the financial model, creating greater visibility over how execution would translate into revenue growth and strengthening the subsequent investment narrative.
