Dan Ferguson

Founder & CEO, Communiti Labs

Jarryd helped a small team operate with the commercial structure and visibility of a substantially larger organisation.

Jarryd combines commercial strategy with exceptional operational execution. He is equally comfortable shaping a go-to-market strategy, reviewing a complex opportunity, improving a proposal or working through the detailed CRM workflows needed to make the strategy real.

Marketing Coordinator + former colleague

Throughout our time working together, we partnered on a range of initiatives, from thought-provoking sales enablement to solution-driven marketing collateral. What made our collaboration especially effective was Jarryd’s genuine belief in the value of marketing. He didn’t just see it as a support function, but as a strategic driver of business outcomes.

Where I help

The kind of work I am drawn to

  • Founder-led or leader-led

    I work well with founders, senior operators and leadership teams who are close to the problem and willing to make practical decisions.

  • Smaller / Scaling Teams

    1–100 people

    Where the work is visible, decisions can move quickly, and progress can be felt without needing multiple layers of approval.

  • Impact-driven missions

    Things with clear human, environmental or social value - including sustainability, civic life, education, community, health, public value or responsible technology.

  • Expertise-led teams

    People who know their field deeply, whether that is technology, science, education, space, renewables, infrastructure or another specialist domain.

  • Customer focused mindsets

    Where relationships matter: multiple stakeholders, long buying cycles, trust-building, public-sector influence, partnerships or customer groups that need careful communication.

  • Real traction or serious intent

    Ideas are great, but movement is necessary: more customers, pilots, a service, a product, a project, a community, a network or a clear commercial ambition worth building around.

Engagement

How to work with me

Project-based support

For defined pieces of work where you need structure, clarity or execution support.

This could include ICP development, GTM planning, CRM cleanup, sales and marketing process design, customer research, outreach structure, messaging, pitch materials, campaign planning or customer follow-up.

Advisory support

For founders, operators and teams who need regular commercial sparring, sharper prioritisation and practical decision support.

This works well when there is already activity happening, but the team needs clearer thinking, better focus and stronger commercial discipline.

Hands-on commercial execution

For teams that need someone who can step in and help do the work across sales, marketing or customer management.

This could include outreach, campaign support, CRM updates, sales materials, customer check-ins, stakeholder follow-up, pipeline reviews, renewal activity or turning strategy into practical next steps.

Fractional GTM / revenue support

For teams that need ongoing senior commercial support without hiring a full-time revenue leader.

This can sit across GTM strategy, revenue systems, sales and marketing execution, customer management, team coaching and operating rhythm.

Process

How we get started

  1. 01Initial conversation

    A 30–60 minute conversation to understand the situation, the goal, the constraints and whether there is a clear fit.

  2. 02Practical scope

    We turn the conversation into a clear scope: what needs to be done, how we will work, what is included, and what outcome we are aiming for.

  3. 03Simple agreement

    I put the scope, timing, responsibilities and commercial terms into a simple written agreement before we begin.

  4. 04Get moving

    Once agreed, we start with the highest-priority work first and build a practical rhythm from there.

About me

A little more than the work

I’m an Australian living in Sweden, building a life between two countries. I’m curious by nature and happiest when learning, making or contributing to something useful.

Outside work, I enjoy woodworking, sports generally - mainly playing tennis and golf - and getting outside with my sambo and our Sheltie.

I value values: honesty, humour, independence, trust and work that has a positive impact on humans and the environment.
