How Alan Helps

Enterprise SaaS Growth

Alan has spent 25+ years building and scaling enterprise SaaS organisations, delivering double- and triple-digit revenue growth by aligning operational execution with customer outcomes. He brings boards a clear view of what actually drives durable recurring revenue.

Operational Excellence and P&L Discipline

With P&L responsibility across organisations ranging from $15M to $50B in revenue, Alan builds the scalable processes and data-backed accountability systems that make performance predictable rather than episodic.

Post-Acquisition Value Creation

Alan works with private equity firms and their portfolio companies on the operational reality that follows a transaction where value is genuinely created, where it leaks, and what sponsors most often get wrong after the deal closes.

Global Operations and Team Leadership

Having led teams of over 1,000 professionals across global markets, Alan understands how to structure international operations so that clarity, accountability, and consistent execution survive scale and distance.

Customer Success and Retention

Alan has rebuilt support and customer success functions around metrics, technology, and a people-first mindset — treating retention as an operating discipline rather than a reporting line.

Transformational Change Leadership

Alan has led transformation programmes across global teams, guiding organisations through restructuring, systems change, and new operating models. He helps boards understand what makes change actually take hold — the sequencing, communication, and accountability that separate a transformation from a reorganisation announcement.

Areas of Advisory

Scaling From Founder-Led to Enterprise-Ready

Guidance for boards overseeing the transition from startup momentum to enterprise-scale performance, covering the operating structures, leadership hires, and systems that have to be in place before growth outruns the organisation.

Revenue Engine and ICP Discipline

Advising on how a disciplined ideal customer profile shapes an efficient revenue engine where to concentrate effort, which segments to decline, and how to build go-to-market motions that compound.

Margin Recovery and Operating Efficiency

Practical counsel for boards facing compressed margins, covering cost structure, process alignment, and the operational changes that restore profitability without undermining growth.

Technology and AI in Operations

Advising on where automation and AI genuinely improve service quality and unit economics, and where they add cost and complexity grounded in having implemented them across live operations.

Leadership Development and Succession

Support for boards on building leadership bench strength, coaching senior operators, and creating the accountability culture that lets high-performing teams consistently exceed their objectives.

“Leadership isn’t about control, it’s about clarity, accountability, and empowering others to achieve more than they thought possible.”
