We help payments and authentication companies transform their customer revenue engine. Not with a slide deck and a handshake. With three practitioners who delivered 10% CAGR at 70%+ operating margin inside one of the world's largest payment authentication platforms.
Most PE/VC-backed payments companies hit the same wall. The product works. The pipeline exists. But between signing a deal and retaining a customer, something breaks. Sales promises things delivery can't build. Delivery implements what customer success can't support. Customer success renews accounts that sales never structured for growth.
The problem is not in any one function. It's in the gaps between them. Your customers are integrating APIs into mission-critical transaction infrastructure, operating under PCI DSS, PSD2, and scheme certification. The handoffs between your sales, presales, services, and support teams consume cycles and erode confidence at every transition.
Fixing customer success alone won't solve this. Nor will a new sales methodology or a delivery PMO. You need an integrated customer revenue engine where strategy, commercial, and delivery operate as one motion. That's what we build.
Diagnosis of where your CS function stands versus where your investors need it to be.
Org design, segmentation, tech stack, and coverage model built for regulated, technical products.
Onboarding, adoption, renewal, and expansion motions for how your customers actually buy and integrate.
GRR, NRR, CLTV, and health scoring that tell the story investors expect while driving the right behaviours.
Territory planning, segmentation, and pipeline architecture for complex enterprise sales cycles.
Pricing, commercial structuring, and contract negotiation grounded in payment economics.
Growth plans, stakeholder mapping, and expansion playbooks across multi-country deployments.
Value propositions and competitive positioning that speak your customers' language with credibility.
Governance, milestone tracking, and risk management for complex multi-country deployments.
Professional services buildout, methodology design, and team structure.
Redesigning the transitions between sales, presales, services, and support that consume cycles and erode customer confidence.
Knowledge transfer, operational handover, and documentation that makes your team self-sufficient.
Three senior practitioners who worked together inside one of the world's largest payment authentication platforms. We don't hand over a slide deck. We build the thing, together, and make sure it works.
Built the customer organisation from 4 to 100+ across six countries inside a major payment authentication vendor. 10% CAGR over five years; operating margin from 30% to 76%. Expanded a single-country bank deployment to 36 countries. Previously founded a health-tech company (Queen's Award; $90M exit).
Led enterprise payment security sales across UK, Ireland, and Nordics for two of the largest platforms in the market. Nearly seven years in fraud prevention and decisioning across EMEA retail banking. Track record of structuring and closing complex, multi-country deals.
EMEA service delivery leadership across payment authentication, fraud prevention, and financial services. Turned around a failing programme and transitioned 32 deliveries to BAU at a major processor. Global PMO experience across financial services and recruitment technology. Consistent record of exceeding commercial targets.
A structured assessment across customer success, commercial operations, and delivery capability. We interview key stakeholders, review your data, and map the gaps between where you are and where your investors need you to be. You get a written report with prioritised recommendations. Not a generic maturity model; a specific view of what to fix first.
We take the diagnostic findings and turn them into a working operating model. One lead on customer success, one on commercial architecture, one on delivery and programme governance. Your three workstreams converge on an integrated customer revenue engine. We work embedded with your team, building capability so you're self-sufficient when we step back.
You get senior leadership without the cost of full-time executive hires. We operate as fractional CCO, CRO, and VP Professional Services: attending your leadership meetings, coaching your team, and holding your customer-facing functions accountable to the plan we built together. Suited to PE/VC portfolio companies in the 12–24 months post-investment.
Most engagements start with the diagnostic. It's five days, it's fixed price, and it gives both sides the evidence to decide what comes next. No long-term commitment upfront; just a willingness to hear an honest assessment.
We didn't learn payments from a briefing document. We spent over a decade inside the payment authentication ecosystem; building customer organisations, closing enterprise deals, and delivering some of the most complex deployments in the industry. When we design a customer revenue engine, it's grounded in how these organisations operate.

If your customer revenue engine needs the same depth of understanding as your product, we should have a conversation. No pitch, no obligation — just an honest discussion about where you are and what needs to change.
