Katleen De Witte
Fractional Commercial & GTM Lead
Many growing businesses have a strong product or service, capable people, and real market potential, but struggle to turn that potential into consistent customer traction, a qualified pipeline, and sustainable revenue.
The issue is often not effort or ambition. It is a lack of clarity around which customers to prioritise, how to position the offer, which routes to market will work, and where to introduce the commercial discipline needed to grow.
Through Valetis Ltd, the fractional commercial and go-to-market consultancy I founded, I work alongside founders and leadership teams to bring focus, structure and practical momentum to those decisions. I help businesses clarify their ideal customers, sharpen their value proposition and messaging, strengthen commercial and sales discipline, and build a more coherent route from market opportunity to revenue.
My background is in senior commercial, strategic growth, and complex pursuit leadership across technology, cloud and cybersecurity, industrial automation, IT services, and enterprise environments. I have led commercial strategy, go-to-market initiatives, major customer pursuits, pricing and business case development, and cross-functional growth programmes involving sales, marketing, finance, legal, product, and delivery teams.
I bring the strategic perspective of a senior commercial leader, but work in a practical, hands-on way. The aim is not to introduce unnecessary corporate processes; it is to apply the right level of rigour to help a business make clearer choices, strengthen execution and build capabilities that remain useful after an engagement ends.
Clients engage Valetis when they need experienced commercial and GTM leadership without adding a full-time executive. This may involve clarifying market priorities, defining ideal customer profiles, strengthening positioning and messaging, improving qualification and pipeline management, developing a GTM blueprint, or bringing greater structure to bids, strategic opportunities and commercial decision-making. The work is designed to translate strategy into clear actions, measurable learning and better commercial outcomes.
I am particularly effective when a business is ready to move from ambition to more focused, disciplined commercial growth, whether entering a new market, refining its commercial model, improving sales effectiveness or seeking greater value from complex opportunities. I work collaboratively with leadership teams, challenge assumptions constructively and help turn commercial ambition into a practical, repeatable growth engine.
