David Mullins
Commercial & Growth Executive

Twenty years building growth engines. Now I build the businesses myself.

Commercial and growth executive across fintech, regulated finance, golf and sport. I use AI to research, prototype, build and launch commercial propositions personally — at a speed no team-dependent operator can match.

Twenty years owning the commercial engine — not just the marketing around it.

AI-Native Operator

Experience × AI × Execution

For most of my career, turning a commercial idea into a live product meant a team — a developer, a designer, a copywriter, months of lead time. AI has removed that dependency. I now personally handle the research, the proposition, the positioning, the UX, the copy, the build and the launch — collapsing a process that used to take months into weeks.

I'm not a software engineer and I don't claim to be one. What I bring is twenty years of knowing which commercial problems are actually worth solving — and now, the ability to build and test the answer myself, fast enough to find out if I'm right before anyone else has finished the brief.

Opportunities I'm looking at

Commercial leadership mandates — Chief Marketing Officer, Chief Growth Officer, Commercial Director, Growth Director, Managing Director, General Manager or COO — as well as strategic partnerships roles and AI-enabled commercial transformation mandates. Also open to fractional and advisory engagements alongside the right opportunity. UK, Europe, UAE and international remote all work.
