About

With over 20 years of experience as a Senior CRO & Growth Consultant, I have dedicated my career to helping businesses significantly improve their online performance. By partnering with companies and their agencies, I focus on driving strategic growth, increasing revenues, and enhancing profitability through meticulous conversion rate optimization (CRO). My approach involves interpreting data, conducting heuristic evaluations, and creating CRO programs based on insightful hypotheses. To date, I’ve audited over 100 clients and conducted more than 2500 split tests, resulting in over $1.1 billion in additional revenue for my clients, with an average conversion uplift of 43%. Throughout my career, I've worked with a diverse range of high-profile clients, including Samsung, Canon, Lloyds Banking Group, and many others, helping them to unlock their full digital potential. My roles have ranged from leading CRO initiatives at global firms to acting as the interim Head of CRO for Canon Europe, guiding them through significant transformations in their CRO efforts. Whether through freelance consultancy or leadership roles in digital agencies, my expertise has consistently delivered remarkable results, helping clients achieve an average ROI of 2023%. My work is grounded in a deep understanding of user behavior, web optimization, and the strategic application of CRO techniques to maximize business outcomes.

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with...​

“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly. “
