AI Outbound Architect · Fractional Head of Growth

Most B2B outbound is broken.
Adding SDRs makes it worse.

I build AI-powered outreach engines for European B2B companies selling into enterprise. Single-operator pipeline systems that replace the function of a 3-person SDR team — and outperform it.

The problem

At enterprise level, template-driven outbound converts at 1–3%. The audience has spent a decade learning to filter exactly that kind of volume.

€8–15K

Fully-loaded monthly cost of a 3-person SDR team in Northern Europe.

4–6 mo

Ramp time before any pipeline shows up. Burn rate compounds.

<2%

Meeting conversion rate at C-level with conventional playbooks.

The instinct when outbound isn't working is to add SDRs. At enterprise level, it's almost always the wrong move. That's a strategy problem, not a headcount problem.

The method

AI-powered outreach engines that earn the right to a conversation.

01

Research before messaging

I run systematic AI-assisted analysis across hundreds of posts from leaders inside target accounts, surfacing the pains that never appear in vendor decks but dominate executive conversation. On a recent engagement: 45+ distinct pain triggers, mapped to specific roles and industries.

02

Peer-to-peer framing, not product pitching

C-level executives don't take vendor calls. They take calls with people who have data on a problem keeping them up at night. Every outbound motion I build starts by naming what the prospect is already thinking — in language they actually use.

03

Hook → Tension → Bridge

Every message clears a three-part structure: a specific verifiable observation about the prospect's world, the tension they're already feeling but rarely see articulated, and a low-friction invitation to compare notes. No calendar links. No "quick 15 minutes." Codified into a checklist so quality doesn't drift as volume grows.

04

One operator, AI stack, full playbook

Segmentation, enrichment, personalization, tracking — all operated by one strategist with an AI stack. Everything documented as a transferable playbook so the system isn't locked in one head.

The proof

Recent European B2B project. Nordic & DACH enterprise targets. Operated solo.

Nordics, Baltics, DACH, CH & NL — run by one operator

SDR equivalent replaced

3 → 1

Out-booked a 3-person SDR team at a fraction of the cost

Meetings landed with senior stakeholders inside

  • Tier-1 Nordic forestry & packaging major (€10B+ revenue)
  • Global industrial automation group
  • Tier-1 Nordic construction & infrastructure firm
  • National applied research institute
  • DACH telecommunications operator
  • Global mobility platform

All accounts stay anonymized under NDA. That level of discretion is standard for the kind of fractional engagements I take — and part of what the work is worth.

Who I work with

A small number of fractional engagements at a time.

01

B2B SaaS founders, Series A/B

€1–10M ARR. Outbound burning cash and not converting. Choice between hiring more SDRs or rebuilding the motion.

02

European tech entering US / UK

Can't justify a $180K US-based Head of Growth. Need strategic pipeline leadership that understands both markets.

03

Knowledge-intensive mid-market

Legal tech, fintech, healthcare. Need to 10x content output and pipeline quality without 10x'ing the team.
