LeadXDR provides fractional SDR/BDR management and interim support for companies that want to build a predictable top-of-funnel motion without hiring a full time manager. Whether you need an experienced XDR architect to design and build your frameworks, coach your team, increase pipeline generation, or step in as an interim leader while you hire, LeadXDR gives you a proven solution that delivers results quickly.

What LeadXDR Does

LeadXDR exists to manage, scale, or build world class XDR organisations for B2B SaaS companies. Whether you are starting from zero, growing a small team, or improving an existing function, I bring the leadership, structure, and clarity needed to create predictable pipeline.I begin with a deep assessment of your current revenue motion: how leads are generated, how they move from marketing to sales, and where conversion opportunities are being lost.I analyse four pillars of a high performing XDR function: people, process, tools, and data. This shows what is working, what is missing, and what needs to evolve to unlock scalable growth.Then I define what a qualified lead really looks like for your business and rebuild scoring, handoffs, follow up, and reporting around that.

LeadXDR Services

Three structured service models designed to support your team at any stage of their GTM maturity.

Manage

For teams that already exist and need steady leadership, structure, reporting, and coaching.Often used as an interim solution while hiring a permanent manager, but also works long term.

Available part time or full time.

Scale

For organisations looking to grow the team and improve performance.Includes deeper frameworks such as development paths, playbooks, processes, and pipeline conversion improvements.

Available part time or full time.

Build

For companies starting from zero and needing a full XDR function created from the ground up: ICP, messaging, systems, onboarding, hiring, and playbooks.

FAQ

What does XDR mean?

XDR is an acronym for an Extended Development Representative role, which is a catch-all term for the traditional SDR (Sales Development Representative) and BDR (Business Development Representative) positions.

Why fractional instead of full time?

Fractional gives you senior leadership impact without a full-time salary commitment. You get strategy, systems, coaching, and execution focused on pipeline growth at a fraction of the cost of hiring, onboarding, and managing a permanent XDR Manager. It also works perfectly as an interim solution while you search for a permanent hire, ensuring momentum stays strong and your XDRs have continuity and direction.

Why LeadXDR over marketing agencies?

When you work with an agency, you are often assigned to whoever is available, not necessarily the most experienced person or someone who truly understands your product. With LeadXDR, you work directly with me. You know exactly who is leading your XDR strategy, building your motion, and guiding your function. This gives you clarity, consistency, and a partner who aligns their work with your goals rather than a rotating resource. You get what you pay for.

Will teams react positively to an interim leader?

People respond well to leaders they trust and like. I make it a priority to connect with teams on an individual level and understand what motivates each person. When you build genuine rapport and show that you care about the details, the bigger picture takes care of itself. Interim or not, teams value a leader who listens, supports them, and helps them grow.

Where are you based and how do you manage different time zones?

I am based in the United Kingdom and working as a fractional contractor gives me the flexibility to support teams across multiple time zones. This works well for local teams and for companies that need an EMEA based manager to cover European hours. You gain an on the ground EMEA presence without the cost or complexity of establishing a local office or hiring a full time local employee.

Do you need onboarding?

No formal onboarding is required. My work begins as soon as we have our intro call and I start researching your market, product, and current outbound motion immediately. For system access, I usually recommend being set up in your environment as a temporary contractor so I can use the tools your XDRs use, such as CRM, email, and any other platforms. This keeps everything seamless and aligned with your existing workflows.

Are there minimum terms or commitments?

Yes. The monthly fractional service has a three-month minimum. Any XDR Build Setup requires a six-month minimum due to the heavy upfront build and ramp work involved.
