About Heidrun

I help B2B SaaS and tech companies build scalable go-to-market systems and expand across European markets.

I typically work with companies in three situations:

First, companies moving from founder-led sales to a structured sales setup. Early traction exists, but there is no repeatable system yet.

Second, companies that have grown quickly but are now hitting a plateau. Revenue becomes less predictable because structure, positioning or sales execution did not keep up with growth.

Third, companies going through a strategic shift where the existing go-to-market no longer works. This can be a product pivot, a move into software sales, or entering a new segment.

In addition, I support companies expanding into new European markets, either international companies entering Europe or European companies expanding within the region.

What makes working with me different is the combination of strategy and execution. I do not deliver slide decks. I work directly with founders and revenue teams and focus on what actually drives revenue.

My work typically starts with a structured diagnostic. I build an outside-in perspective to understand the company, product, market, customers and how teams actually work together. This includes customer interviews and a deep dive into the current go-to-market setup.

Based on this, I define clear and actionable next steps. Every company is different, so I do not apply a standard framework but work based on what the situation actually requires.

I typically work in focused sprints, as a fractional GTM lead, or on a retainer basis, depending on the scope and stage of the company.

The goal is always the same: a clear, repeatable GTM system your team owns and can run without external support.
