Helping B2B SaaS leadership teams (£500k – £10m ARR) achieve GTM coherence and positioning clarity, reducing decision risk through consumer psychology.​
Karina Karn, MSc
Fractional CMO ​
I'm brought in when the next move is high-stakes and precision matters, I identify the blind spots and behavioural patterns that constrain growth long before they show up in dashboards.
​
Over a 14-year career as a senior marketing leader I've developed a structured proprietary framework used across global and growth-stage organizations to reduce costly misalignments at critical moments.
