Sales & GTM Leader

I help SaaS founders go from product-market fit to repeatable revenue.

I sit in the sales seat so founders don't have to. Whether you need someone to close deals, build the process, or both — I come in part-time and make revenue happen.

Liam James

English guy in Latvia. Ten years at the sharp end of SaaS revenue — five of them scaling Lokalise from €1M to €30M ARR. Now I work with two or three founders at a time as their fractional sales lead. Some need help closing deals. Some need the whole go-to-market motion built. Most need both.

I'm not for everyone. The honest version is below.

My sweet spot

  • You're a B2B SaaS founder with real customers and real revenue
  • Founder-led sales has worked, and you're feeling the ceiling
  • You don't have a full-time GTM hire yet, and you're not ready for one
  • You want someone in the seat, not a deck and a methodology

Not my sweet spot

  • You're pre-revenue or still searching for product-market fit
  • You sell B2C or run an agency
  • You want hands-off automation or an AI-only solution
  • You're looking for an SDR to do outbound for you

Most early-stage SaaS hits the same wall. The product works, signups are coming in, but revenue isn't growing the way it should. The founder is still running every deal, there's no repeatable process, and hiring a full-time sales leader feels premature. That's where I come in.

I do the selling alongside you — running demos, closing deals, qualifying leads — while building the process underneath. By month two or three, there's a pipeline that works without me in every conversation. Not because I handed you a document, but because we built it together while doing real deals.

The typical engagement is three to six months. I'm embedded in the business, not advising from outside. Weekly working sessions, async between, and I'm accountable for the revenue number alongside you.

Joined as part of the early commercial team and stayed through key ARR milestones. Multiple roles across new business, expansion, and partnerships.

Edge Energy

UK commercial energy brokerage
