Background
Engineering · UCT

I trained as an engineer at the University of Cape Town, then spent the last eight years in marketing — most of it deep in performance: Google Ads, conversion tracking, and the data integrity that makes both worth trusting.

The work is real and current: I run growth for the Middle East's largest self-storage provider, a medical practice in New York State, and a B2B PPE supplier whose online store I built from zero to seven figures over five years. I spent three years tripling the fleet of a luxury chauffeur operator across Ireland and the UK, and in 2025 ran paid for an upmarket international restaurant group — including wiring their SevenRooms booking data into GA4. CGE is where I do that work — for a small number of clients at a time.

CGE is a founder-led practice by design. No retainers padded with busywork, no twelve-person decks, no alignment theatre — just a working growth engine, hand-built, instrumented, and handed to your team.
