Strategic Impact

Businesses leak margin in predictable places — discount structures without governance, pricing decisions made without data, and contribution visibility that arrives too late to act on. I build the frameworks that stop the leakage. Pricing policy with accountability built in. Revenue management that protects margin while volume grows. Contribution visibility at the level where decisions are actually made.

How I help

I work with commercial directors, CFOs, and PE Operating Partners in businesses where pricing is either undisciplined, inconsistently applied, or not generating the margin the revenue base should support. My background spans consulting mandates across 60+ companies and operational transformation at scale — including the pricing function at Allegro, CEE's largest marketplace, and global margin management at Modivo and G2A.
Specifically:
  • Pricing governance frameworks — policy, approval structure, and discount control
  • Margin management and contribution optimisation across channels and customer segments
  • Revenue management systems that protect margin as volume scales
  • Pricing capability deployment for management teams and commercial functions
  • PE portfolio pricing diagnostics and improvement roadmaps

What I can help you with

Translate growth targets into structured pricing architecture across channels, lifting margins while protecting volume and competitive positioning.

Install clear guardrails on discounting, approvals, and deal structures to stop margin erosion and restore commercial discipline.

Identify profit pools by differentiating price sensitivity, reallocating value capture toward higher-margin segments without sacrificing scale.

Quantify demand response to price changes, reducing decision risk and increasing EBITDA through data-backed pricing moves.

Deploy rule-based and algorithmic pricing engines that respond to market signals while safeguarding contribution and inventory efficiency.

Measure true incremental impact of promotions, eliminating loss-making campaigns and redirecting spend toward margin-accretive activity.

Define ownership, escalation paths, and reporting standards, ensuring consistent execution across regions and preventing uncontrolled price exceptions.

Structure roles, KPIs, and accountability models that embed financial rigour into day-to-day commercial decisions.

Assess systems, behaviours, and controls to expose hidden margin loss and deliver a clear, prioritised profit recovery roadmap.
