Alec Harden-Henry

Mid-Market & Enterprise AE | GTM - New Biz - Sales

Twenty years in GTM, closing complex B2B deals, from mid-market velocity to multi-threaded enterprise. Built commercial functions from zero, scaled revenue to £1m without investment, and helped AI-native companies sell into organisations that are still figuring out what AI means for them. UK, EMEA and US.

What I Do

GTM strategy that converts into pipeline

Whether you need a founding AE to build your first repeatable sales motion, a mid-market closer to accelerate pipeline, or an enterprise seller who can navigate complex multi-stakeholder deals, I bring the same approach: get in, build the engine, and make it work.

New Market Entry

ICP definition, outbound playbook design, channel strategy, and pipeline generation from a standing start. I've done this across the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, US and Australia.

Full-Cycle Enterprise Sales

Discovery through close on complex, multi-threaded deals. MEDDPICC-qualified. Six-figure recurring contracts with global holding companies and household brands.

GTM Build & Scale

Sales process architecture, pricing strategy, content-driven demand gen, and the operational foundations that take a company from founder-led sales to a scalable commercial function.

AI-Native Sales Operations

Building and deploying AI-powered prospecting workflows, automated research pipelines, and intelligent outreach systems that multiply individual output without adding headcount.
