A bit about me

I have 10+ years of experience launching and scaling consumer, tech and media brands globally. A generalist problem-solver through and through, I blend big picture thinking with hands on execution. I don't just offer strategic advice, I roll up my sleeves to help you get it done.

Brands I’ve worked for and with

What I can help with…

A non-exhaustive list of business problems I can help solve.

Customer Research

Run research and uncover insights that will act as the foundation for everything you say and do.

Product Strategy

Develop tech, digital and physical products that customers want and need, and that will cut through the noise.

Operations

Operationalise your strategic thinking and creative ideas, and build systems that will support your growth.

Go To Market

Develop and execute a 360-degree GTM strategy to successfully launch brands, products and categories.

Commercialisation

Turn concepts into products, ideas into revenue and strategic plans into tangible results.

Global Expansion

Spot opportunities for going global, and launch your brand or product in new markets (did someone say USA?).

Strategic Projects

Lead meaty strategic initiatives that live outside of BAU, that your team may not have time or headspace for.

Thought Partner

A trusted sounding board to help you navigate problems and quickly overcome challenges as they crop up.

My Services

From hands on to light touch.

Ongoing Fractional

You’re an early stage founder and need a highly capable generalist to solve problems on the fly and run projects end to end. I embed myself in the team, helping you grow quickly without the cost of a full time hire.

What people are saying

Some nice words from past clients.

“We engaged Anna to get sales and operations flowing; first running a pilot in Australia and then growing the business domestically and expanding into the US. Among other things, she landed our first customers and directly drove around $1M ARR. She not only helped us successfully go from 0-1, but also established an entrepreneurial culture through her "get it done" leadership. If you're looking for someone who has both a strategic perspective and willingness to get their hands dirty, I'd highly recommend working with Anna!"

Ben Wunderman, Co-Founder of Packsmith

"Anna was a godsend to us. As a small team with no dedicated marketing person, Anna was able to distill what was needed to improve our customer experience and lead generation capabilities, ensuring we captured every lead and gave new members a seamless onboarding experience without one-on-one supervision. After spending the time getting to know our business, Anna worked fast and efficiently, delivering over and above our expectations."

Vicky Stirling, CEO of The Startup Network

"Anna was a game changer for our business. In just over a year she helped revamp our product suite and she improved the efficiency and effectiveness across marketing and operations. She quickly identified a few key areas for improvement - both quick wins and larger opportunities - and helped us roll out a series of projects to help increase customer acquisition and improve our retention rate. She was fantastic to work with, I was sad to see her go!"

Adam Jelic, Founder of MiGoals
