We don’t care where you’ve come from. Pricing, commercial strategy, finance, consulting, or you were the commercially sharp operator in a scaling company who always gravitated toward the pricing question. The background is irrelevant. What matters is that you understand pricing is a growth lever, not a spreadsheet exercise.
You model fast and well. You can build a scenario analysis that gives leadership a crisp decision, not a 40-tab spreadsheet that requires a guided tour. You think in frameworks but you execute in detail.
You’re comfortable pricing into the unknown. When there’s no local sales data, you build from first principles - infrastructure economics, market analogues, competitive positioning - and you iterate fast once a real signal comes in.
You work cross-functionally with ease. Product, Finance, Sales, Ops, and Exec will all have a view on pricing. You need to synthesise those inputs, hold a point of view, and drive a decision. People trust you because the quality of your analysis earns it.
