I help growth companies turn their digital potential into revenue. Through ClickForest as your e-commerce and marketing partner, or as interim COO/CDO when the stakes are higher.

Turning digital complexity
into growth

Your digital strategy looks good on paper. Execution is lagging. Or your organisation is growing faster than its structure can handle. That is where I come in.

Through ClickForest I deliver hands-on e-commerce and performance marketing for B2C brands: from Shopify builds to AI automation. In parallel, I take on interim COO or CDO mandates at companies navigating growth, merger or transformation.

What sets me apart: no account manager, no junior running your campaigns. You work directly with me, every day. With 25+ years of digital experience and three successful exits as my track record.

How I can help

Two profiles, one approach. Whether it is e-commerce execution or an interim C-level mandate: no account manager, no handovers. You work directly with me, and that shows in the numbers.

E-commerce & Shopify

From zero to a high-performing Shopify store, or your existing shop audited and rebuilt for conversion. Hands-on, from technical setup to mobile UX.

  • Shopify store builds (B2C)
  • Theme development & customization
  • CRO via A/B testing and data analysis
  • Mobile UX optimisation

Performance marketing

Your campaigns are managed by the same person who writes the strategy. No juniors, no black box. Direct reporting and results you can read yourself.

  • Google Ads & Shopping
  • Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram)
  • LinkedIn & TikTok Ads
  • Reporting via GA4, Databox, Looker Studio

SEO, GEO & content

Being found in Google is one thing. Being found in AI answers is the next step. I guide both: from technical SEO audit to GEO strategy.

  • Technical SEO audits
  • Content strategy & E-E-A-T
  • Generative Engine Optimization
  • Local SEO & Google Business

Interim COO / CDO

When your organisation is navigating a merger, transformation or turnaround, you need an experienced hand at the helm. Not a consultant with a report, but an executive who shares accountability for the outcome.

  • Digital transformation mandates
  • Post-merger integration (PMI)
  • Operational restructuring
  • AI strategy and implementation

Current focus

ClickForest

Everything I do as Managing Partner: e-commerce, performance marketing and AI. Bundled into one agency. No layers, no handovers.
