Strategy. Commercial. Delivery.
One team that built it together.
Your product works. Your pipeline exists. The growth case depends on what happens between them. We help PE/VC-backed payments and authentication companies build the customer revenue engine that closes the gap. We are three practitioners who built one inside one of the world’s largest payment authentication platforms.
The revenue engine problem
Most PE/VC-backed payments companies hit the same wall. 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 handovers 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.

The team
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.
Customer success & solution consulting
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).
Commercial & account strategy
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.
Delivery & professional services
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.
The Big 4 model is one talented partner and an army of graduates. Ours is senior practitioners throughout, amplified by AI.
How we work
Most engagements start with the diagnostic. Two weeks, a fixed fee, and the evidence both sides need to decide what comes next.
-
1
Revenue readiness diagnostic
A structured assessment across customer success, commercial, and delivery: three senior practitioners, two weeks, no junior staff. We interview your leadership, examine your data against payments-sector benchmarks, and map the gaps between where you are and where your investors need you to be. You get a written diagnostic report with a prioritised remediation roadmap, a one-page executive summary for your board or operating partner, and a 90-minute leadership debrief. Not a generic maturity model; a specific view of what to fix first.
-
2
Design & build
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.

Fractional leadership
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.
