About
Retention isn’t CRM campaigns or bigger bonuses. It’s behaviour, product experience and commercial design. Bonuses don’t fix churn. Better journeys, smarter incentives and strong relationships do. I build and scale CRM and Account Management functions end to end, owning the full customer lifecycle from data and platform foundations through to execution and performance. My focus is sustainable growth that increases player value, not short term spikes that look good on a dashboard but don’t last. I’m at my best turning messy problems into clear strategy, designing cross sell and multi product journeys that genuinely lift lifetime value, and building teams that execute consistently at scale. I’ve led CRM and CDP integrations, aligned Commercial, Product and Compliance around shared goals, and delivered measurable improvements in retention, reactivation and VIP revenue. I’m direct and commercially focused. If it doesn’t move player value or revenue, we don’t do it. I lead from the front and take the most pride in solving problems that initially feel impossible, then looking back six months later at what the team has built together.
