About
I have been in the room when it matters most
CMO. 5x ARR growth ($15M → $100M). Two exits. Global GTM across APAC, EMEA, and North America.
I've spent 15+ years building and leading marketing functions inside B2B SaaS companies where the mandate was grow, and grow efficiently. The work was to find the right market, clarity of message, build the operating model, and turn marketing into a revenue function.
As CMO at Ignition, I built and led the global marketing function as the company scaled from $15M to $100M ARR. That included rebuilding GTM across regions and segments, leading the rebrand from Practice Ignition to Ignition, creating the revenue engagement category narrative, and turning the US into the primary growth market.
Before that, I was part of the marketing leadership team at SiteMinder, helping scale the business from employee #87 to $100M+ ARR across 27+ markets on the path to its $1B ASX listing. At Genbook, I led marketing and sales through to acquisition by Booksy, building the acquisition engine across Australia and the US.
"I build with the end in mind. That changes what you prioritise, how you scale, and what you measure."
I work best with founders and executive teams who need marketing to become a clearer, stronger, more accountable growth function.
A Fractional CMO is a senior marketing executive who works with your business on a part-time or retainer basis. A Growth Advisor brings specific operational experience at the stages you are navigating, whether that is scaling past product-market fit, preparing for a funding round, or working toward an exit. At BK Growth Advisory, the two are combined into one engagement.
Outcomes depend on where you are starting from. Clients typically see clearer positioning and messaging within the first 90 days, a prioritised demand generation plan in active execution, stronger sales-marketing alignment, and marketing reporting their board can use. Over time, the goal is a marketing function that performs independently and tells a credible growth story to investors.
Usually when you have grown past founder-led marketing but are not yet ready to hire a full-time CMO. Common signals: your pipeline has stalled and you don't know why; you're preparing for a funding round and need to sharpen the marketing story; you've just taken on PE or institutional investment and marketing needs to perform as part of a value creation plan; or you're entering a new market and need a senior operator to lead it.
An agency executes on a brief you provide. A Fractional CMO writes the brief, manages any agencies, and owns the outcomes. I operate as part of your leadership team, not as a supplier. I'm in the planning meetings, the board conversations, and the hiring decisions. The accountability is categorically different.
Engagements are structured as monthly retainers based on scope and time commitment. For context, a full-time CMO in Sydney typically costs $250,000 to $400,000 per year before super, benefits, and hiring costs. A retainer with BK Growth Advisory is a fraction of that, with no overhead and no long-term employment commitment.
Engagements start with a minimum three-month commitment. Most clients continue for 12 to 24 months. The length depends on your goals: some companies bring me in for a specific phase such as a fundraise, a market entry, or a repositioning, while others retain me as an ongoing marketing leadership partner.
Yes. I'm based in Sydney and work primarily with Australian B2B SaaS companies, but a significant part of my experience has been in global and US markets. If you're an Australian company expanding internationally, or an international business entering Australia or APAC, that is a specific area of strength.
The right fit is B2B SaaS companies at $2M+ ARR, at the growth phase where marketing strategy has a genuine impact on trajectory, valuation, and exit readiness.
Yes. The sprints and retainer work well remotely. I have run programs in the U.S. east coast market and across Southeast Asia. If you are an Australian company with U.S. or APAC expansion ambitions, that experience is directly relevant.
It is the model behind every engagement. Rather than open-ended advisory, every piece of work starts with a clear diagnosis of your primary marketing constraint. We run a targeted sprint to fix it, then move to the next one. You always know what you are buying, what the output is, and what comes next.
