We spent so long in highly pressurised leadership positions, with aggressive hiring targets, that we got sick of recruitment agencies we worked with cutting corners.

We built RAMPD to change all that.

Meet our founders

  • Ollie is an experienced, early stage, go to market leader who carved out a career building sales and revenue organisations from scratch for early stage SaaS companies.

    Ollie was hire number 1 at ecommerce personalisation startup Yieldify, building and leading the sales organisation from $0 to double digit $m ARR leading to investment rounds from Google Ventures and Softbank Capital. He went on to launch the UK, EMEA and US markets for retail operations SaaS scale up Yoobic before joining Singaporean growth management platform, and Sequoia Capital backed SaaS company, Insider as first UK hire, again to launch and build the UK market from scratch.

    Ollie has designed and implemented the processes, built out the structures and hired the teams to deliver growth consistently across different product categories, target customer segments and international markets. An entrepreneur at heart, he co-founded RAMPD to address a real life problem he saw in the recruitment industry and work with more early stage teams looking to disrupt the status quo.
