#303 Simon Sharp - The Power of Revenue Architecture for SaaS Growth
Mon Jan 26 2026
In this weeks' Scale Your Sales Podcast episode, my guest is Simon Sharp.
I'm CEO of Verto, a UK SaaS platform, the no 1 solution powering portfolio, programme and project management (P3M) across the UK public sector. An entrepreneur and GTM leader, I've co-founded RiskXchange, founded RockSec360 and held global revenue leadership roles scaling SaaS, cybersecurity, and fraud prevention companies from £1M to £100M+ worldwide.
In today's episode of Scale Your Sales podcast, Simon examine how science-led, data-driven approaches—enhanced by AI—are reshaping revenue architecture and modern sales leadership. Explore what differentiates organizations that achieve predictable ARR growth from those that plateau, with a strong focus on customer-centric growth systems, meaningful client relationships, and the evolving role of technology in sales. Drawing on his experience scaling multiple PE-backed SaaS businesses and his work with Winning by Design methodologies, Simon shares practical insights into how AI is improving efficiency and customer focus.
