Chief Commercial Officer @Trippant

Bristol, GB

Let\'s face it, most comms teams are measured on coverage.Press clippings. Media mentions.\"Brand awareness.\"Meanwhile, the CEO\'s asking:\"But did it move the needle?\"That gap? That\'s where I work.As Chief Commercial Officer at Trippant, I lead commercial growth for a strategic communications consultancy that starts with a different question:What commercial outcome do you actually need?We work with CEOs, CCOs,CMOs and CMHROs who need their story to drive pipeline, not just headlines.Clients include New Zealand Rugby, SailGP, WSC Sports, Genius Sport.What I bring:→ 20 years building revenue in sport & events→ £29m commercial revenue at the LTA→ £3.9m new business at Nielsen Sports→ £16.3m revenue World Rally Championship → A career spent turning assets into profits What I\'ve learned:The best stories don\'t just get attention. They get action.The best comms doesn\'t just build awareness. It builds pipeline.And the best organisations don\'t separate \"brand\" from \"commercial.\" They connect them.That\'s what Trippant does. That\'s what I do.If your comms isn\'t moving the needle — let\'s talk.
