About Move 4ward

From strategy all the way to implementation.

"Ain't no mountain high enough. In the outdoors. In business. Same mindset, different terrain."

Move 4ward is my marketing and business consulting practice. I help companies through marketing and business projects, and I aim to leave a positive mark, so you've genuinely moved forward.

Where many stop at the strategy deck, I stay for the descent: execution at basecamp, where the solution is designed, built, tested and actually running. I bring a broad, holistic view, built on many years across different marketing and business domains and across many sectors, so the disciplines connect instead of colliding.

The four routes

Four domains where I do my best work.

Deep enough to lead each on its own; connected enough to hold them together on one engagement.

01

Go2market

Positioning, messaging, launch and go-to-market planning that gets a product or service to market, and to revenue.

02

Product Management

Shaping the proposition, roadmap and lifecycle, keeping customer value and business value on the same rope.

03

MarTech

Marketing automation and the wider martech stack; Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Adobe, HubSpot, Marketo, chosen, connected and made to work.

04

Pricing & (complex) business cases

Pricing strategy and the business cases behind big decisions, turning assumptions into numbers people can act on.

Other expertise

More terrain I know well.

Alongside the four core routes, I regularly work in these domains too.

Innovation management Business process management Organisation design Market intelligence Stakeholder & programme management Team leadership
