There is a specific kind of problem that good technology companies run into.

Where this came from

Before founding Tactical Beast, I spent over a decade in senior communications roles on some of the most technically complex briefs in the industry.

At Publitek, I worked with deep tech and semiconductor companies, helping global brands including Toshiba, NXP, OnSemi, Nexperia and Harwin translate highly technical products into stories that resonate with the right audiences. That experience taught me that you cannot communicate technology effectively without understanding it.

I also led communications for Kohler Power Systems across European markets, sharpening my instincts for credibility and the impact of precise messaging.

Alongside commercial work, I supported mission-driven organisations such as Engineers Without Borders, applying engineering and technical thinking to real-world challenges. That taught me that clarity and honesty often matter more than polish when stakes are high.

All of this experience shapes the work we do at Tactical Beast today: helping tech founders tell the story their product, traction and ambition deserve.

What the experience built

Across that decade, the consistent thread was translation. Taking what engineers, product teams and technical founders know to be true about what they have built, and finding the language that makes it land with the people who need to understand it.

Investors who are evaluating twenty opportunities and need to know within minutes whether yours is worth their time. Enterprise buyers who are cautious, well-informed and have heard every version of every pitch. Journalists who will not cover something unless the story is genuinely clear and the angle is genuinely interesting.

That is a different skill from general marketing. It requires sector knowledge, an ear for what is credible versus what is claimed, and a precise understanding of what different audiences actually need to hear at different stages of a business.

It is also a skill that most growth-stage tech companies do not have in-house, and cannot justify hiring for full-time at Seed or Series A. Which is where Tactical Beast comes in.
