Business Strategy & Innovation

Find the opportunity.
Make it happen.

I help businesses find growth opportunities, sharpen their strategy and turn ambitious ideas into real-world results.

Strategy brain. Operator energy.

Three ways to make things happen.

01 / Strategy & Innovation Projects

Pick your problem. I’ll bring the kit.

05 kits

Not another strategy deck. Something you can actually use.

01

The Reset

Too many priorities. Not enough progress.

Competing priorities, without a shared view of where to focus next.

  • Business and growth diagnosis
  • Customer, proposition and market review
  • Prioritized opportunities and bottlenecks

For · Businesses that need clarity on what to focus on next.

  • A practical 90-day roadmap

Outcome · A clear direction and a plan people can actually follow.

02

The Value Prop Kit

Great product. Wrong words?

The product has value, but the positioning and messaging don’t make the difference clear.

  • Target customer and customer needs
  • Differentiated value proposition
  • Positioning and messaging framework

For · Businesses struggling to explain why customers should choose them.

  • Three messaging angles
  • One landing page structure and ready-to-use copy
  • Five ad concepts with copy and creative direction
  • A lightweight message-testing plan

Outcome · A sharper story, ready to put in front of real customers.

Landing page development, creative production and media activation are optional implementation services, not automatically included.

03

The Launch Kit

Got an idea? Let’s see if anyone wants it.

A promising idea, but not enough real customer evidence to know what to build or how to sell it.

  • Target customer and value proposition
  • Business model assumptions
  • Landing page or lightweight prototype

For · Companies considering a new product, service or business model.

  • Customer and market experiments
  • Evidence-based recommendations on whether to proceed, adapt or stop

Outcome · Real evidence before a bigger investment.

04

The PMF Fix

You launched. The market shrugged.

The offer is live, but customer needs, positioning and the proposition aren’t lining up.

  • Product–market fit diagnosis
  • Customer and behavioural insights
  • Review of acquisition, activation, retention, pricing and customer value where relevant

For · Products or services that have launched but are not gaining traction.

  • Prioritized improvement hypotheses
  • Experiment and recovery roadmap

Outcome · Know what's not working, what to change and what to test next.

05

The Innovation Engine

Innovation shouldn’t depend on a lucky brainstorm.

Ideas pile up, but there’s no clear portfolio, experimentation routine or ownership to move them forward.

  • Opportunity discovery and market exploration
  • Customer needs and growth white spaces
  • Prioritized opportunity portfolio

For · Organizations looking to identify and develop new growth opportunities.

  • Initial business concepts and business cases
  • Experimentation roadmap
  • Innovation processes, tools and decision criteria

Outcome · A practical pipeline of opportunities worth pursuing.

03 / The Right People Club

The Right People Club.

Good people. Better business.

The right connection can change everything. I bring businesses and talented specialists together, helping both sides find the right fit and make great work happen.

For businesses

Find the right people for your challenge.

From shaping the brief to identifying, selecting and coordinating the right agencies, freelancers or specialists.

I need the right people →

For agencies & independents

Great work deserves great opportunities.

I support agencies and independent professionals in finding relevant business opportunities, opening conversations and developing new client relationships.

Let's grow your business →

A curated network. Not an open directory.

Hi, I'm Gemma.

I’ve spent 16+ years building businesses, finding growth opportunities and leading teams. I like asking difficult questions, making sense of messy problems and sticking around to get things done.

Experience

16+ years. Three different worlds. One way of making things happen.

I've spent over 16 years leading digital marketing at a major consumer goods company, driving growth at an international media agency, and helping lead a global innovation consultancy based in Barcelona.

I've worked on both sides of the table — as a client, an agency partner and a consultant. I know what it takes to develop a strategy, get the right people on board and actually deliver.

A few names from along the way.

Henkel · Nestlé · Zurich · Banc Sabadell · Affinity Petcare · HIPRA

Danone · Johnson & Johnson · GAES · GBfoods · Taskrabbit · Seiko
