B2B revenue and marketing operations

Revenue systems built to carry the work forward.

I design and build the CRM, data and workflows behind B2B revenue teams, connecting the commercial process to the systems that run it. That includes deciding what rules can automate, what AI agents can research or prepare, and where people need to make the call.

You work directly with me, from understanding the problem through design, build and testing.

The operating environment

Where the work I build sits

  1. An enquiry or relevant signal arrives

    SystemA form, a reply, a change on an account

  2. CRM and available context are assembled

    SystemRecord, history, prior activity

  3. Agreed ownership and workflow rules apply

    Deterministic ruleRouting, lifecycle, exceptions

  4. AI prepares context where that helps

    AI agentResearch, classification, preparation

  5. A person reviews or responds

    PersonThe commercial judgement stays human

  6. The record and next step are updated

    SystemOwner, action and reason are visible

Outcome

The enquiry reaches an accountable next step.

The operating environment around it

  • CRM and data
  • Lifecycle and automation
  • Rules
  • AI agents
  • People

One illustrative path through the environment. I design and build the parts it passes through, and decide which of them a rule, an agent or a person should hold. Engagements differ.

What needs to work differently?

Our HubSpot setup no longer fits how we sell.

I can redesign the CRM structure, data and connections around the business process, so people can act on a coherent record instead of reconciling conflicting versions first.

CRM, Data & Integrations

Interest comes in, but the next step is inconsistent.

I can connect lead capture, qualification, ownership and follow-up, so an interested prospect reaches someone who understands why they have been handed over and what should happen next.

Lifecycle, Lead Management & Automation

People are still doing the research and coordination between our tools.

I can build a defined workflow that prepares context, applies rules and brings in AI reasoning where it helps. The aim is to let someone assess the next step without restarting the investigation.

GTM Engineering & AI Workflows

If you need senior hands-on capacity for a defined workstream, I can work directly with your team or through a consultancy.

Ways to work together

Featured partnership

Strategic Computing

Connecting specialist expertise to a usable buyer journey.

For this Dublin-based negotiation and IT procurement consultancy, the work began with the path from outreach to a conversation. I worked on HubSpot structure, contact intelligence, structured outreach, a landing page and lead asset, and bringing existing customer proof into that journey.

The purpose was practical: give interest somewhere useful to go, connect it to follow-up, and keep the setup proportionate to a founder-led business.

“Working with Osama brought a lot more structure and direction to what I was trying to build. He helped make sense of the tools, the outreach, and the bigger go-to-market picture, and he was especially strong at bringing HubSpot and AI into the process in a way that was practical and useful.”

Inside the work

A signal is a reason to look. The evidence determines what follows.

Account Intelligence is an AI-assisted account research workflow. It gathers public evidence and available account context, then returns a structured brief for a person to read before deciding whether to act. Here is an example where the available evidence left an important question unresolved.

Inspection points

The listing is visible. The requirement is unconfirmed.

The question

Does a published role indicate a current CRM change that this business might need help delivering?

What the research found

An external job listing described a CRM-related role. The company’s own careers page did not list it at the time of research. The advert mentioned several CRM platforms as examples, without identifying which one the company had selected.

What remains uncertain

Whether the requirement is still open, which platform is involved, and whether external help is relevant.

Research recommendation

Check whether the requirement is still live before investing more effort.

This is the research output’s recommendation, not a recorded commercial decision. The ACT, HOLD or no-meaningful-signal call remains unrecorded in this example.

Why uncertainty remains

External listing

Observed fact

The role remained visible on a job board.

Company careers page

Observed fact

The role was absent when checked.

Platform evidence

Inference limit

Examples of experience required, not confirmation of the installed system.

These observations do not establish a live project or buying intent.

Provenance: adapted from a research output dated 29 August 2026. The presentation here is reconstructed and is not a live application. Source excerpts are described by type rather than linked, because a source-linked version could re-identify the account.

A research recommendation is not a recorded decision

Research recommendation

Check whether the requirement is still live before investing more effort.

Recorded commercial decision

Not established in this output.

The workflow supports three possible human decisions:

ACT
Enough relevant evidence for a specific next step.
HOLD
An unresolved question or timing issue makes action premature.
No meaningful signal
The evidence does not support a relevant buying situation.

What the output actually documents

This example brings together a research question, public sources and a written assessment. No CRM read, automated rule execution or write-back is evidenced in the selected output.

An agent works with the context, permissions and data made available to it. I design those inputs alongside the task it is being asked to perform.

Illustrative workflow

Design explanation, not an execution trace

In a connected workflow, I design those steps around the job: what context can be accessed, which checks follow fixed rules, what an agent researches, who decides and what may return to the system.

  1. 01

    Input

    System

    Result

    The task exists with its source recorded.

    Behaviour and next step

    Behaviour

    A signal or named account enters the workflow.

    Next step

    Assemble what is already known.

  2. 02

    Available context

    System

    Result

    A starting context, with gaps visible.

    Behaviour and next step

    Behaviour

    Accessible account records and prior activity are gathered.

    Next step

    Check whether the account qualifies for research.

  3. 03

    Eligibility

    Deterministic rule

    Result

    Same input, same outcome, every time.

    Behaviour and next step

    Behaviour

    Fixed criteria decide whether this account proceeds.

    Next step

    Hand an eligible task to research.

  4. 04

    Research

    AI agent

    Result

    Observations, each retaining its source.

    Behaviour and next step

    Behaviour

    Permitted sources are read against the research question.

    Next step

    Structure what was found.

  5. 05

    Structured evidence

    AI agent

    Result

    An assessment that keeps its unknowns visible.

    Behaviour and next step

    Behaviour

    Observations are separated from inference, with validation checks where designed.

    Next step

    Present it for review.

  6. 06

    Presentation

    System

    Result

    A readable output in a consistent shape.

    Behaviour and next step

    Behaviour

    The assessment is delivered where the person already works.

    Next step

    A person reads it.

  7. 07

    Commercial decision

    Person

    Result

    A decision with a named owner.

    Behaviour and next step

    Behaviour

    Act, hold, or record no meaningful signal.

    Next step

    Any permitted action follows the decision.

  8. 08

    Permitted action

    System

    Result

    The record shows what happened and why.

    Behaviour and next step

    Behaviour

    Only actions explicitly allowed by design are carried out.

    Next step

    The outcome returns for checking.

  9. 09

    Verification

    Rule and person

    Result

    Weak cases stay visible instead of going quiet.

    Behaviour and next step

    Behaviour

    Rules flag exceptions and thin evidence; a person reviews them.

    Next step

    Findings inform the next design change.

Experience behind the build

I have spent more than six years working across B2B marketing operations and revenue systems, most recently as Associate Director, Marketing Operations at 2X.

My experience includes lifecycle and qualification design, CRM workflows, connected tools and the operating decisions behind marketing-to-sales hand-offs.

Selected Experience

Built in the Lab

The Lab is where I build and test systems around real operating questions. Some support my own work; others test an approach before it is considered for client delivery.
